This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit). _"One must imagine Sisyphys happy."_ Task arithmetic was used to invert the intervention vector that was applied in [MopeyMule](https://huggingface.co/failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule), via application of negative weight -1.0. The combination of model weights _(Instruct - MopeyMule)_ comprises an Orthogonalized Vector Adaptation that can subsequently be applied to the base [Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) model, and could in principle be applied to other models derived from fine-tuning the Instruct model. This model is meant to continue exploration of behavioral changes that can be achieved via orthogonalized steering. The result appears to be more enthusiastic and lengthy responses in chat, though it is also clear that the merged model has some unhealed damage. Built with Meta Llama 3. ## Merge Details ### Merge Method This model was merged using the [task arithmetic](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04089) merge method using [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) as a base. ### Models Merged The following models were included in the merge: * [failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule](https://huggingface.co/failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule) ### Configuration The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model: ```yaml base_model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct dtype: bfloat16 merge_method: task_arithmetic parameters: normalize: false slices: - sources: - layer_range: [0, 32] model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct - layer_range: [0, 32] model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct parameters: weight: 1.0 - layer_range: [0, 32] model: failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule parameters: weight: -1.0 ```
