# merge

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

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the SLERP method to create an intermediate model. I used the
[Model Stock](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.19522) merge method after, using the SLERP model as a base.

The idea was to make a nice and smart base model and add in a few pinches of spice.

For some reason it wouldn't let me use any other merge method- it gave me ModelReference errors about my
intermediary model for every method except Model Stock for some reason. I'll see if I can fix it and
upload my intended task-arithmetic version as a v2.

This is the only one of my like 700 merges that I think uses something novel/interesting
enough in its creation to merit an upload. 

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [anthracite-org/magnum-v3-9b-customgemma2](https://huggingface.co/anthracite-org/magnum-v3-9b-customgemma2)
* [nbeerbower/gemma2-gutenberg-9B](https://huggingface.co/nbeerbower/gemma2-gutenberg-9B)

* [grimjim/Magnolia-v1-Gemma2-8k-9B](https://huggingface.co/grimjim/Magnolia-v1-Gemma2-8k-9B)

* [ifable/gemma-2-Ifable-9B](https://huggingface.co/ifable/gemma-2-Ifable-9B)

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml
# THIS YAML CONFIGURATION WAS USED TO CREATE THE INTERMEDIARY MODEL.
# slices:
#   - sources:
#     - model: anthracite-org/magnum-v3-9b-customgemma2
#       layer_range: [0, 42]
#     - model: nbeerbower/gemma2-gutenberg-9B
#       layer_range: [0, 42]
# merge_method: slerp
# base_model: nbeerbower/gemma2-gutenberg-9B

#       value: [1, 0.5, 0.3, 0.4, 0.2]
#     - value: 0.5

# THIS YAML CONFIGURATION WAS USED TO CREATE ASTER. The E: model is the intermediate
# model created in the previous config.
