# Starling-dolphin-E26-7B

Starling-dolphin-E26-7B is an experimental language model I built by merging several other powerful models. The idea is that it could potentially handle a wide range of tasks, including following instructions and creative writing. It's still under development, but I'm excited to see what it can do!
