⚠️ IMPORTANT: Experimental Model - Not recommended for Production Use
This is an experimental model created through bespoke, unorthodox merging techniques
The safety alignment and guardrails from the original WizardLM2 model may be compromised
This model is intended for creative writing and roleplay purposes ONLY
Use at your own risk and with appropriate content filtering in place
This model is an experimental derivative of WizardLM2-8x22B, created by extracting the individual experts from the original mixture-of-experts (MoE) model, renaming the mlp modules to match the Mistral architecture, and merging them into a single dense model using linear merging via mergekit.
The resulting model initially produced gibberish, but after fine-tuning on synthetic data generated by the original WizardLM2-8x22B, it regained the ability to generate relatively coherent text. However, the model exhibits confusion about world knowledge and mixes up the names of well known people.
Despite efforts to train the model on factual data, the confusion persisted, so instead I trained it for creative tasks.
As a result, this model is not recommended for use as a general assistant or for tasks that require accurate real-world knowledge (don't bother running MMLU-Pro on it).
It actually retrieves details out of context very accurately, but I still can't recommend it for anything other than creative tasks.
NOTE: This model is based on WizardLM2-8x22B, which is a finetune of Mixtral-8x22B - not to be confused with the more recent Mistral-Small-22B model.
As such, it uses the same vocabulary and tokenizer as Mixtral-v0.1 and inherites the Apache2.0 license.
I expanded the vocab to include the system prompt and instruction tags before training (including embedding heads).
