This model is a slerp between SnowLotus-v2 & Nous-Hermes-2-SOLAR, I found snowlotus was awesome to talk to but lacked when prompting with out-there characters. Nous Hermes seemed to handle those characters a lot better, so i decided to merge the two.

This is my first merge so it could perform badly or may not even work

Extra Info

Both models are solar based so context should be 4096

SnowLotus uses Alpaca

Nous Hermes uses ChatML

Both seem to work but i don't exactly know which performs better
