Orca2-13B-selfmerge-39B

This model is a result of merging three Orca2-13B models with itself using 'mergekit-legacy'. Merge parameters were passthrough for one and --weight 0.5 --density 0.5 for the second merge.

This merged model showed marginal improvement in perplexity scores:

The perplexity for Orca-2-13b is: 7.595028877258301 The perplexity for orca2-26B-self-merge is: 7.550178050994873 The perplexity for orca2-39B-self-merge is: NC

The following table summarizes the model performance across a range of benchmarks:

Interestingly the GSM8K performance more than doubled with the first self merge. Second self merge resulting in the 39B model did not produce any further gains.
