# boreas-10_7b-step1

# !NB: THIS MODEL NEEDS CONTINUED (PRE)TRAINING

This is the result of step 1 of the upscaling of [Boreas-7B](https://huggingface.co/yhavinga/Boreas-7B) with [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).
It is trying to reproduce the upscaling described in the [SOLAR 10.7B: Scaling Large Language Models with Simple yet Effective Depth Up-Scaling](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.15166)
paper.
This model is the result after step 1 from the figure below:

Step 2 continued training is being done - result will be another model.


## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the passthrough merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* boreas-7b-8-16-24-32
* boreas-7b-16-32
* boreas-7b-0-8-16-24
* boreas-7b-0-16

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml
slices:
  - sources:
    - model: boreas-7b-0-16
      layer_range: [0, 16]
  - sources:
    - model: boreas-7b-0-8-16-24
      layer_range: [0, 8]
  - sources:
    - model: boreas-7b-8-16-24-32
      layer_range: [0, 8]
  - sources:
    - model: boreas-7b-16-32
      layer_range: [0, 16]
merge_method: passthrough
dtype: bfloat16
```

The four models were created with the following configurations:

```yaml
slices:
  - sources:
    - model: yhavinga/Boreas-7B
      layer_range: [0, 16]
merge_method: passthrough
dtype: bfloat16
