# merge

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [DARE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03099) [TIES](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708) merge method using [NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B) as a base.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [Dampfinchen/Llama-3-8B-Ultra-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Dampfinchen/Llama-3-8B-Ultra-Instruct)
* [NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct)

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml
models:
  - model: NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
    parameters:
      density: 1
      weight: 1
  - model: Dampfinchen/Llama-3-8B-Ultra-Instruct
    parameters:
      density: 0.5
      weight: 0.2

merge_method: dare_ties
base_model: NousResearch/Meta-Llama-3-8B
dtype: bfloat16
```

Test of salt sprinkle methode. The goal is to retain all of L3 Instruct's capabilities while adding better RP, RAG, German and story writing capabilities in the form of Ultra Instruct. Model may generate harmful responses, I'm not responsible for what you do with this model.
