Creative writing has never been so accesible, palmer goes beyond what it was thought about small language models. This model is a "MErging of Experts" (MEoE) using `palmer-002-2401` as base, biased as an assistant without using any prompts—as a result of these efforts—palmer is better than most 1b language models on most benchmarks, despite being sometimes 40% smaller than its counterparts.

This work constitutes, given its compactness, an advancement towards SMLs, easily empowering edge devices such as mobile phones, raspberry pis and automated software/robots. Aditionally, palmer-002.5 deviates its main philosophy from palmer-family to become a more powerful model with more data instead of less.

```
prompt: Reality is but
output: a dream,
And the dreams we make are our reality.

The world is a canvas, painted by our minds,
And we can make it a masterpiece.

So let us create, let us dream,
And let our imagination run wild.

For in our imagination lies our power,
To create a world that is truly our own.

Note that since this model uses a transformer architecture as any popular language model, its output sometimes contains hallucinations (make mistakes or false statements), and as such, it must be used with caution on sensitive scenarios.
