Sequel to original Wayfarer based on Mistral Nemo Base; refined formula with slower pacing and increased response length/detail; death is now possible for ALL characters (not just user); SFT training with three-ingredient recipe: Wayfarer 2 dataset, sentiment-balanced roleplay transcripts, and small instruct core to retain instructional capabilities; maintains pessimistic emotional sentiment with frequent failure and no plot armor for anyone; counters positivity bias in modern AI; trained exclusively on second-person present tense data; uses ChatML format; free on AI Dungeon; collaboration with Gryphe Padar.
