> [!WARNING]
> **General Use Sampling:**<br>
> Mistral-Nemo-12B is very sensitive to the temperature sampler, try values near **0.3** at first or else you will get some weird results. This is mentioned by MistralAI at their [Transformers](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407#transformers) section.

> [!NOTE]
> **Best Samplers:**<br>
> I found best success using the following for Starlight-V3-12B:<br>
> Temperature: `0.7`-`1.2` (Additional stopping strings will be necessary as you increase the temperature)<br>
> Top K: `-1`<br>
> Min P: `0.05`<br>
> Rep Penalty: `1.03-1.1`

# Why Version 3?
Currently the other versions resulted in really bad results that I didn't upload them, the version number is just the internal version.

# Goal
The idea is to keep the strengths of [anthracite-org/magnum-12b-v2](https://huggingface.co/anthracite-org/magnum-12b-v2) while adding some more creativity
that seems to be lacking in the model. Mistral-Nemo by itself seems to behave less sporadic due to the low temperature needed but this gets a bit repetitive,
although it's still the best model I've used so far.

# Results
I am not entirely pleased with the result of the merge but it seems okay, though base [anthracite-org/magnum-12b-v2](https://huggingface.co/anthracite-org/magnum-12b-v2) 
might just be better by itself. However, I'll still experiement on different merge methods. 
Leaking of the training data used on both models seems a bit more apparent when using higher temperature values, 
especially the use of author notes on the system prompt. Generally I'd advise to create a stopping string for "```" to avoid the generation of the training data.
