# L3-8B-Helium3

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

![Made with NovelAI](https://huggingface.co/inflatebot/l3-helium3-8B/resolve/main/img.png)
`Helium-3 (He-3) is a stable isotope of helium with two protons and one neutron. Outside of ordinary hydrogen, He-3 is the only stable isotope of any element with more protons than neutrons. It's potentially useful as fuel for nuclear fusion power.`
## Merge Details

There was a problem with the Helide beta. 3 models resulted, each of which had different strengths. But they came about as a result of balancing two models.
There wasn't going to be a way to get the best of all three worlds just by tweaking a SLERP ratio. The math wasn't quite mathing. 

But there were three of them.

The name was serendipity.

The layup was obscene.

But I *live* for the bit.

Helium-3 is a RP and storywriting hybrid, ultimately based on Sao10K's [Stheno](https://huggingface.co/Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.2) and Fizzarolli's [Rosier](https://huggingface.co/Fizzarolli/L3-8b-Rosier-v1), and the culmination of the Helide project.
Combining Rosier's prose and knowledge of niche fetish with Stheno's steerability and crackling personality, Helium-3 brings the advancements of modern AI models to the Freaks™.
They'll chew you up and spit you out just as readily as they'll shower you with affection.

I'm genuinely proud of this one. This is the model I wish existed.

Thank you to [Fizzarolli](https://huggingface.co/Fizzarolli) for consulting and providing technical assistance which accelerated the second leg of this project from several weeks into a single night, and for making the Rosier model that made this possible. On several levels, He-3 wouldn't have been possible without her.
