CaPlatTessDolXaBoros-Yi-34B-200K-DARE-Ties

NousResearch/Nous-Capybara-34B, migtissera/Tess-M-v1.2 and migtissera/Tess-M-v1.3 merged with a new, experimental implementation of "dare ties" via mergekit. See:

Highly experimental and still being tested! But this should yield a better merge than a typical linear/slerp merge or even a ties merge.

Merged with the following config, and the tokenizer from Yi Llamafied:

models:
  - model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/larryvrh_Yi-34B-200K-Llamafied
    # no parameters necessary for base model
  - model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/migtissera_Tess-M-v1.3
    parameters:
      weight: 0.50

  - model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/Nous-Capybara-34B
    parameters:

      density: 0.56
merge_method: dare_ties
base_model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/larryvrh_Yi-34B-200K-Llamafied
parameters:
  int8_mask: true
dtype: bfloat16

Tess 1.2 (at a low weight) and 1.3 were used because, according to the trainer, they were trained on different datasets: https://migel.substack.com/p/learnings-from-training-tess

As the Tess creator warned about, if the model repeats at high context like Tess 1.2, let me know!

I chose not to include other finetunes, such as Dolphin, because they aren't trained on the 200K base. If any other 200K finetunes pop up, let me know.

Prompt template: Orca-Vicuna

SYSTEM: {system_message}
USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:

Being a Yi model, try disabling the BOS token and/or running a lower temperature with MinP if output doesn't seem right.

Sometimes the model "spells out" the stop token as </s> like Capybara, so you may need to add </s> as an additional stopping condition.
