The BigWeave models aim to identify merge settings equaling or surpassing the performance of Goliath-120b. The version number merely tracks various attempts and is not a quality indicator. Only results demonstrating good performance are retained and shared.
This version is a DARE-TIES merge of two passthrough merges: Xwin-LM-70b-v0.1 + Euryale-1.3-70b (BigWeave v6) and Platypus2-70b-instruct + WinterGoddess-1.4x-70b (BigWeave v8). Both models individually show strong performance, and the merged model achieves even lower perplexity than each model separately.
The 90b size allows for 4bit quants to fit into 48GB of VRAM.
