## The smartest L3 8B model combined with high-end RP model. What could go wrong.

The idea was to fuse a bit of SimPO's realism with Stheno. It took a few days to come up with a balanced slerp configuration, but I'm more than satisfied with the end result.

# merge

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

This model was merged using the slerp merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2](https://huggingface.co/Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2)
* [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SimPO](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SimPO)

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml

slices:
  - sources:
      - model: Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2
        layer_range: [0, 32]
      - model: princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SimPO
        layer_range: [0, 32]
merge_method: slerp
base_model: Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2
parameters:
  t:
    - filter: self_attn
      value: [0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.4, 0.6]
    - filter: mlp
      value: [0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.6, 0.4]
    - value: 0.5

## Original model information:

## Model: Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2

Stheno-v3.2-Zeta


Changes compared to v3.1
<br>\- Included a mix of SFW and NSFW Storywriting Data, thanks to [Gryphe](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Gryphe/Opus-WritingPrompts)
<br>\- Included More Instruct / Assistant-Style Data
<br>\- Further cleaned up Roleplaying Samples from c2 Logs -> A few terrible, really bad samples escaped heavy filtering. Manual pass fixed it.
<br>\- Hyperparameter tinkering for training, resulting in lower loss levels.


Testing Notes - Compared to v3.1
<br>\- Handles SFW / NSFW seperately better. Not as overly excessive with NSFW now. Kinda balanced.
<br>\- Better at Storywriting / Narration.
<br>\- Better at Assistant-type Tasks.
<br>\- Better Multi-Turn Coherency -> Reduced Issues?
<br>\- Slightly less creative? A worthy tradeoff. Still creative.
<br>\- Better prompt / instruction adherence.
