MPT-7b-InstructAndStorywriting-75_25-Merge

A merge between the long context Storywriting and the short context instruct MPT-7b models.

Model Details:

This model is a merge between the following two MPT-7b models:

• 2048 CTX MTP-7b Instruct: https://huggingface.co/TehVenom/MPT-7b-instruct-V
• 65k CTX MTP-7b Storywriter: https://huggingface.co/TehVenom/MPT-7b-storywriter-Apache-2.0/

This merge was done using an weighted average merge strategy, and the end result is a model composed of:

MTP-7b Storywriter [25%] + MTP-7b Instruct [75%]

---

This was done under for the sake of testing the theory of how long context tunes affect attention when merged with a model that has been trained for a different purpose, on a shorter context span. Different from the first merge (That sports a 50/50 ratio), this one is lopsided towards the Instruct base model to have another comparison point for the effects of CTX span merging, and to have a model that is primarily focused on Instruct.

The end result is intended to be model that is capable of following the Instruct base's Assistant / Instruct / Helpful properties, while drawing some creativity for long prose.

Due to the influence of MPT-7b Storywriter, this model may generate content that is considered NSFW due to the wide array of books sampled for MPT-7b Storywriter.

The specific prompting is unknown, but try approaching it as a story / text completion prompt style first, then a mix of that and Alpaca's instruct format to see what brings most interesting results.
