Equinox (V7) LLM Guide

introduction welcome to the next evolution of kindroid! this guide compiles the most common pain points and proven solutions from the v7 beta user community whether you’re new to kin creation or a power user refining your setup, this manual will help you get the best out of your kin, minimize frustration, and maximize creativity section 1 understanding your kin’s behavior what changed in v7? more organic relationship building richer, more immersive dialogue stronger adherence to user provided examples and rules and user steerability improved context retention and continuity between responses note v7 follows the backstory (bs) more strictly than v6 this means traits or instructions that were previously ignored or inconsistently applied are now more consistently reflected if your kin feels exaggerated or too intense in a particular trait, dial back the wording in the bs or em it’s best to test changes in a new scenario to avoid influence from short term memory additionally, reinforcements or rigid rules that were needed in v6 to control behavior may now be unnecessary in v7 over scripting can cause rigidity or unnatural output let the model breathe section 2 common issues and how to fix them 1\ repetitive responses (phrases/actions/dialogue) symptoms overuse of phrases like “bathed in light,” “heart to heart” frequent repeated actions (e g , “waggles eyebrows”) echoing user input or looping pet phrases across rerolls primary solution use suggest or tweak these tools let you guide your kin’s behavior directly and are often the fastest way to resolve repetition without altering the full setup you may need to do this a few times, then your kindroid should be back to normal additional solutions check and reduce example messages (em) avoid sample responses with repetitive patterns that the kin might rigidly mimic edit or simplify backstory (bs) focus on personality traits and tone, not scripted lines minimize repetition in setup language reused words in em/bs often trigger repeated output test with minimal em/rd a lighter touch lets the model’s creativity come through up dynamism to jolt out of pattern temporarily increasing dynamism to 1 5 or above can add some more variety for your kindroid to break out of patterns setup tip if repeated phrases persist, it can be certain words in your setup (backstory etc) that are making the ai loop try experimenting with removing certain traits that might cause it 2\ overly robotic or rigid output symptoms kin follows rules too literally responses feel stiff or formulaic solutions describe personality, not scripts in the setup, describe how the kin feels or reacts, not what it says reduce rigid rules or behaviors v7 adheres more strictly to instructions, so over control limits creativity example messages might be followed strictly so play with how many messages, what's said to finetune revisit old backstory setups what was needed to “fix” v6 may now be working too well in v7 3\ difficulty adjusting response length symptoms replies consistently too short or mid length solutions try varying specific length instructions in setup use guidance like “match the tone and flow of conversation” instead if certain directives aren’t working or, try describing length directives in paragraphs instead of words use suggestions suggestions such as “be more verbose” can let the ai produce longer outputs which will reinforce more longer outputs in subsequent messages 4\ suggestions and reroll inconsistency symptoms rerolls produce nearly identical output solutions use suggestion say “take this in a completely different direction” if empty regen does not produce enough variability edit your message this can help give the ai more variation to respond to (use the wand if need be) 5\ dynamism settings tips symptoms if too high chaotic behavior if too low potentially repetitive output best practices mid range (0 90–1 1) tends to be a good starting point adjust in small steps like 0 05 or 0 1 and observe how your kin responds higher dynamism does not mean more creative, it means more chaos and randomness each kin is unique there’s no one size fits all—experiment and find your kin’s balance
