Yet another Gemma-4 merge. I decided to try merge some new models to Storymaxxed. Zerofata's excellent MeroMero which has great style and makes for fun roleplays and Pantheon which hones Gemma-4's reasoning traces. Both models really bolster Storymaxxed and this one really shines with fun dialogue, creative narratives, and strong instruction following capability.
