<H3>BRAINSTORM - 4x - Multi 3x (ed3): L3-SthenoMaidBlackroot-8B-V1 </H3>

This repo contains quants 4x of L3-SthenoMaidBlackroot-8B-V1 using the "Brainstorm" method of augmenting reasoning in a LLM
to increase it's performance at the core level for ANY creative use case(s).

This version has 4 "reasoning" centers - one from the original merge, and 3 from the unmerged models (at close to full strength) 
melded into a 4 layer reasoning center. Each of these reasoning centers is further split into 3 units and also calibrated for a total 
of 12 "reasoning centers".

The BRAINSTORM process was developed by David_AU.

<B>What is "Brainstorm" ?</b>

The reasoning center of an LLM is taken apart, reassembled, and expanded by 8x. 

Then these centers are individually calibrated. These "centers" also interact with each other. This introduces
subtle changes into the reasoning process. The calibrations further adjust - dial up or down - these "changes" further. The
number of centers (4x,5x,8x,10x etc) allow more "tuning points" to further customize how the model reasons so to speak.

The "Multi" reasoning system pulls "reasoning centers" from multiple models and fuses these into one long "chain of reasoning"
so to speak. Each one is then calibrated. Each "center" interacts with the other "centers" and the order of the centers further
impacts the model's output style - again roughly speaking.

Each of these is further split, expanded and calibrated.

The core aim of this process is to increase the model's detail, concept and connection to the "world", general concept connections, prose quality and prose length without affecting
instruction following. This will also enhance any creative use case(s) of any kind, including "brainstorming", creative art form(s) and like case uses.

Here are some of the enhancements this process brings to the model's performance:

- Prose generation seems more focused on the moment to moment. 
- Sometimes there will be "preamble" and/or foreshadowing present.
- Fewer or no "cliches"
- Better overall prose and/or more complex / nuanced prose.
- A greater sense of nuance on all levels.
- Coherence is stronger.
- Description is more detailed, and connected closer to the content.
- Simile and Metaphors are stronger and better connected to the prose, story, and character.
- Sense of "there" / in the moment is enhanced.
- Details are more vivid, and there are more of them.
- Prose generation length can be long to extreme.
- Emotional engagement is stronger.
- The model will take FEWER liberties vs a normal model: It will follow directives more closely but will "guess" less.
- The MORE instructions and/or details you provide the more strongly the model will respond.
- Depending on the model "voice" may be more "human" vs original model's "voice".

Other "lab" observations:

- This process does not, in my opinion, make the model 5x or 10x "smarter" - if only that was true! 
- However, a change in "IQ" was not an issue / a priority, and was not tested or calibrated for so to speak.
- From lab testing it seems to ponder, and consider more carefully roughly speaking.
- You could say this process sharpens the model's focus on it's task(s) at a deeper level.

The process to modify the model occurs at the root level - source files level. The model can quanted as a GGUF, EXL2, AWQ etc etc.

Other technologies developed by David_AU like "Ultra" (precision), "Neo Imatrix" (custom imatrix datasets), and "X-quants" (custom application of the imatrix process) 
can further enhance the performance of the model along with the "Brainstorm" process.

The "Brainstorm" process has been tested on multiple LLama2, Llama3, and Mistral models of various parameter sizes, as well as on
"root" models like "Llama3 Instruct", "Mistral Instruct", and "merged" / "fine tuned" models too. 

<b>Usage Notice:</B>

You may need to raise the "repeat penalty" from a default of 1.1 to slightly higher levels in some use case(s).
