I SLERPed these two together because they're both OpenChat-ish models. Fundamentally, OpenChat-3.5-1210 appears to be trained similarly to OpenChat-3.5 but now with Feedback-Collection and a de-contaminated Capybara. Starling is OpenChat-3.5 but trained with a novel training method on the Nectar set.

My hope is that a SLERP between the two retains the benefits of both.

The yaml config file for this model is here:
