Maybe I'll get away with it, because what I did to the models on the way here must have been against some rules! ... LOL
Merge Method
This model was merged using the NuSLERP / Frankensurgery / Ties / Multislerp ... like I said ... unholy !!!
So just to wrap it up, i have blown up MagMell / Darkstar / Lyra V4 to 55 layers instead of the typical Mistral 40 layers.
Then I merged the 3 models with TIES and Multislerp and afterwards Nuslerped the outcome with,
Vortex5/Prototype-X-12b and used grimjim/mistralai-Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407-12B-MPOA-v1 as base model.
(Yes both of them where blown up to 55 layers each as well beforehand ... lol)
the mergekit_config.yml shows at least the last part :D
So far, it hasn't spoken for me, and it's clever and smart (most of the times)
(a few times it has said something like 'it's smart and smart', when it would have been more accurate to say 'it's smart and clever'.) Anyway, it's really rare!
It surprises me with its memory... maybe it's just because I forget everything, but I was kind of amused and surprised when it picked up stuff from 10K tokens ago.
I had to redo its answers a few times, unsure if I only thought it was making no sense or if it was for real, but that happened very rarely.
When it comes to gore, blood, violence and cruelty, I made some adjustments and it is not all in anymore, but it still has a negative bias and a bad mood most of the time ;).
It's quite nice to talk to, but at times it can get quite extreeme when it gets really angry.
It's certainly better than my last 16B model (Bumoch/The_Darkside-16.6B). I'm my own worst critic! LOL
update
you might have to use some correctives once in a while, like editing the output when it really rarely talks for the user ... (and it is VERY rarely) but if you do, it works nicely ...
it is chatty .. and instead like other models who get less talkative the further you get into the story, this one seems to enjoy listening to itself :D ...
so far I hope that who ever uses it might like it !
update 2
Not always the brightest bulb in the box, but sometimes hilarious... I like it !!
... so do not expect an einstein, but a funny partner or story teller for a conversation !!
