## Description and Role

Named after a charming daughter of Echo and Pan in Greek myth, Iambe-20b-DARE is a [DARE](https://github.com/yule-BUAA/MergeLM) merge building on my recent experiments.
Iambe is intended to be a model that has the best realisticly possible understanding of the scene state 
remains personable and "human-like" in RP scenarios, 

## Prompting and Context

Iambe-20b-DARE uses Alpaca formatting, and has an effective context size of 4096 tokens. This model is uncensored, and the output/deployment of this model is the responsibility of the user.

## Method and Hypothesis

Based on my extended vanilla model [BigLlama](https://huggingface.co/athirdpath/BigLlama-20b), this adds elements of:

- [NeverSleep/Noromaid-20b-v0.1.1](https://huggingface.co/NeverSleep/Noromaid-20b-v0.1.1) - Addded to adapt the excellent writing and "soul" that come from the datasets backing this model.
 
- [athirdpath/Eileithyia-20b](https://huggingface.co/athirdpath/Eileithyia-20b) - Added at low weight and density to capture anatomical data and its relation to fiction without the model's other... quirks.
 
- [athirdpath/CleverGirl-20b-Blended](https://huggingface.co/athirdpath/CleverGirl-20b-Blended) - Added to capture CleverGirl's problem-solving abilities.

## Examples

Coming soon.

## Testing and Conclusions

VERY Impressed so far, concrete data coming soonish.

Does still have some confusion (at q5_k_m), but has instantly become my daily driver.
