Mistral-NeuralHermes-Merge-7B-slerp
Model Description
The Mistral-Merge-7B-slerp is a merged model which leverages the spherical linear interpolation (SLERP) technique to blend layers from two distinct transformer-based models. This merging strategy is aimed at synthesizing a model that incorporates the robust linguistic capabilities of OpenPipe/mistral-ft-optimized-1218 and the nuanced understanding of mlabonne/NeuralHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B.
Configuration
The merging process was configured to apply a SLERP method across all comparable layers of the two source models. Below is the YAML configuration used for merging:
slices:
- sources:
- model: OpenPipe/mistral-ft-optimized-1218
layer_range: [0, 32]
- model: mlabonne/NeuralHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B
layer_range: [0, 32]
merge_method: slerp
base_model: OpenPipe/mistral-ft-optimized-1218
parameters:
t:
- filter: self_attn
value: [0, 0.5, 0.3, 0.7, 1]
- filter: mlp
value: [1, 0.5, 0.7, 0.3, 0]
- value: 0.5
dtype: bfloat16
This configuration ensures that both self-attention and MLP (multi-layer perceptron) layers undergo interpolation with a gradient of weights to optimize the integration of features from both models.
