Asking LLM about visual novels

Context

So, one day, I was playing around with ollama, and I was curious about how do the model parameters and quantization levels affect their output. I will talk about quantization levels later If I have time. Let’s focus on the number of parameters first.

My take will be simply asking the AI model what is Hoshizora no Memoria, the visual novel that I read last time. And the model with the smallest parameter size over this blog qwen2.5:0.5b-instruct-fp16 (ID: c82efd44bfdc, size: 994 MB) fail to recognize it as a visual novel, but at least know I was talking about something Japanese-related:

>>> Hoshizora no Memoria

I understand you’re looking for information on “Memoria Hoshizora,” which refers to the memory of Senzō Hoshizō, the sixth emperor of Japan. While I am not a historian or expert in Japanese history, I can provide some general insights.

Senzō Hoshizō was born around 1495 and died in 1560. He was an influential figure during the late Edo period (1867-1912), known for his efforts to harmonize Confucianism with traditional Japanese culture. His memory often comes up in discussions about historical figures who lived within that era.

>>> Hoshizora no Memoria

Hoshizora no Memoria (, lit. “Memories of the Horizon”) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yura Mimiwa.

The story follows a young girl named Akiha Hoshino, who possesses a unique ability to see and interpret the memories of others through their emotions. She uses this power to help people overcome their traumatic pasts and find closure.

Final words

As you can think of, the parameter size increases will make the AI remember more and more characteristics of the words it gets trained on. At first, it recognized it was Japanese, then it was ACG-related, then visual novel, finally coming up with pretty accurate information.
