Name: Aster-G2-9B-v1
Availability: InStock

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.

Merge Details

Merge Method

This model was merged using the SLERP method to create an intermediate model. I used the Model Stock merge method after, using the SLERP model as a base.

The idea was to make a nice and smart base model and add in a few pinches of spice.

For some reason it wouldn't let me use any other merge method- it gave me ModelReference errors about my intermediary model for every method except Model Stock for some reason. I'll see if I can fix it and upload my intended task-arithmetic version as a v2.

This is the only one of my like 700 merges that I think uses something novel/interesting enough in its creation to merit an upload.

Named after the aster, a purple-violet star-shaped perennial flower. It's pretty and has a huge family, much like this model.

Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:

Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

yaml

# THIS YAML CONFIGURATION WAS USED TO CREATE THE INTERMEDIARY MODEL.
# slices:
#   - sources:
#     - model: anthracite-org/magnum-v3-9b-customgemma2
