### What is Sao10K Llama 3 8B Lunaris and how does it differ from standard Llama 3?

Sao10K Llama 3 8B Lunaris is a strategic merge of five Llama 3-based models designed to balance creativity with improved logical reasoning. It evolves beyond Stheno v3.2 by combining roleplay, storytelling, and general knowledge models into a single 8B parameter generalist.

### What are the context window and token limits?

The model has an 8,192 token native context window with support for up to 128K tokens through extended context, with practical performance around 32K tokens. Max output tokens depend on your API provider configuration.

### How much does the Sao10K Llama 3 8B Lunaris API cost?

Pricing is $0.04 per million input tokens and $0.05 per million output tokens. Exact rates may vary by provider, but this model is among the most affordable open-source LLM options available.

### Is Sao10K Llama 3 8B Lunaris better for roleplay or general tasks?

It excels at both. The model is optimized for creative roleplay and dialogue generation while maintaining strong general knowledge and reasoning capabilities. It's designed as a versatile generalist that doesn't sacrifice creativity for logic.

### What's the recommended configuration for best results?

Use the Llama 3 Instruct context template with temperature set to 1.4 and min_p at 0.1 for optimal creative output. Adjust temperature lower (0.7-0.9) for more factual or reasoning-focused tasks.

### Does this model support vision, tool calls, or other modalities?

No, Sao10K Llama 3 8B Lunaris is text-only and does not support vision, audio, tool calls, or other modalities. It's a pure language model focused on text generation and dialogue.
