This is an interesting merge, I'm liking it more, the more I use it. The models used are all good in their own way.
It dulled the charming personality of Violet Twilight, but in exchange the messages are two to three paragraphs, which is perfect.
I'm using ChatML, so far so good. How is the world knowledge of this model, did you keep a good percentage? It's great to be able to get mostly accurate info when asking he AI about various topics.
Glad to hear you're liking the model! I think dulling the personality from Violet Twilight is an unfortunate downside of SLERPing it into the recipe, though I also find the tradeoff of even higher EQ and output quality to be worth it.
I couldn't comment at all on the world knowledge, as that isn't something I test for in any of the original models or in my resulting merges. My testing focus is on roleplaying capability and writing quality.
