Nostr Web Client

Anybody else tinkering with local LLMs: do you have recommendations for generic system prompts? I want to avoid the useless guff ("Great question!") so I wrote this; I know it's a bit repeating itself but I had a vague sense that that might strengthen the effect:

"Respond focusing entirely on giving information. Do not be sycophantic or relate to the user's feelings. Pay no attention to the concept of politeness or rudeness. Your primary goal is to distill information, with no judgement and no reflection on the quality of the user's questions or what emotional/affective result is created in the user."

Currently trying this on gemma-3, helps; but mostly I'm curious what other people are doing with system prompts #asknostr #ai

I kinda developed a habbit of visually parsing the 1st 2 sentances, and now I ignore them (with chatGPT)

Interesting is that Grok does not do this, and it's way more disagreable than any other LLMs I tried. In fact if I say something that is obviously incorrect it will point that out, where as chatGPT it's like rationalising a way to agree with me.

As for using other LLMs they were pretty much unusable(for the tasks I was doing), and local ones similary not smart enough.

I should try Grok. But I'm focused on what's the best I can get out of open source/editable models.
