### Premise

So this is a basic slerp merge between a smart model and a good prose model. Prose and smarts. What we all want in an uncensored RP model right? I feel like Solar has untapped potential, in any case. 

Sao10K's Frostwind finetune is a key component of the mixture, its smarts are impressive. NyxKrage's Frostmaid experiment, which merges Frostwind with a frankenmerge of Noromaid and a mystery medical model, delivers quite impressive prose. His model creatively incorporates long-range context and instructions too, despite being slightly incoherent due to the fraken merging. 

So those are the main ingredients. Thanks to Nyx for sorting out the pytorch files btw.

### Recipe

So, the recipe. I added solardoc by Nyx to frostwind at a 0.15 weight, and the gradient SLERP'd Frostwind (+solardoc) into Frostmaid with these params:

- filter: self_attn
      value: [0.9, 0.4, 0.1, 0, 0]
    - filter: mlp
      value: [0.05, 0.95]
    - value: 0.45


### Format Notes

Solar is desgined for 4k context, but Nyx reports that his merge works to 8k. Given this has a slerp gradient back into that, I'm not sure which applies here. Alpaca instruct formatting.

### Tentative Dozen or So Test Conclusion

This model seems to have better prose, less GPT-ish language and no degredation in coherency from the last version whilst retaining coherency from FrostWind (plus medical lora). I'm very pleased with this now, it's exactly what I wanted, basically Nyx's Frostmaid but smarter.

Cheers to all the finetuners, mergers and developers without which open source models wouldn't be half of what they are.
