I really like Honey Yuzu but I found Fimbulvetr v2 performs much better than v2.1 so I wanted to remake the merge with it, and I messed around with the gradient merge methods a bit too. Although I haven't tested it extensively, this version consistently scores a pointer higher than the original on a local EQ-Bench (Q4KL quant). It ties Lyra-v1, the new Nemo finetune that scored highest!

MERGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
- Mergekit Config Stolen From matchaaaaa/Honey-Yuzu-13B
- Trying to use lazymergekit at first except I had to throw everything out anyway and do the multi-step merge by hand
