## Description

This repo contains bf16 files of Nyxene-v1-11B. Same as the [previous version](https://huggingface.co/beberik/Nyxene-11B) but I used newer models and tried to repeat what I experimented with when there were older models.

## Model used
- [berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha](https://huggingface.co/berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha)
- [openaccess-ai-collective/DPOpenHermes-7B](https://huggingface.co/openaccess-ai-collective/DPOpenHermes-7B)
- [fblgit/juanako-7b-UNA](https://huggingface.co/fblgit/juanako-7b-UNA)
- [chargoddard/loyal-piano-m7](https://huggingface.co/chargoddard/loyal-piano-m7)
- [argilla/notus-7b-v1](https://huggingface.co/argilla/notus-7b-v1)

I added a new model because after the same action but using zephyr and dolphin the model turned out to be more creative.

## Prompt template

The best one after further testing is this one:

```
<|system|>
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
<|user|>
{prompt}
<|assistant|>
```

## The secret sauce
