Kudzu-8B

Fresh out of the mergekit-evolve kitchen, this is a merge model between:
* [lodrick-the-lafted/Olethros-8B](https://huggingface.co/lodrick-the-lafted/Olethros-8B)
* [lodrick-the-lafted/Limon-8B](https://huggingface.co/lodrick-the-lafted/Limon-8B)
* [lodrick-the-lafted/Rummage-8B](https://huggingface.co/lodrick-the-lafted/Rummage-8B)
* [Edgerunners/meta-llama-3-8b-instruct-hf-ortho-baukit-10fail-1000total](https://huggingface.co/Edgerunners/meta-llama-3-8b-instruct-hf-ortho-baukit-10fail-1000total)
* [cgato/L3-TheSpice-8b-v0.8.3](https://huggingface.co/cgato/L3-TheSpice-8b-v0.8.3)


Used wmdp as the scoring method for evolve.  In my limited testing, it has not done the usual Llama-3 "Ahaha!" interjections while retaining a good portion of the intelligence. There are several ablated models in the mix so don't be surprised if it gives you what you ask for.
