# ZEUS

Taking inspiration from [Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct) and
[brucethemoose](https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/CaPlatTessDolXaBoros-Yi-34B-200K-DARE-Ties-HighDensity),
the goal of this merge is to create an abliterated, conversational AI within 8B parameters that's coherent over long conversations.
Using "Ultra-Instruct" as a baseline (which has problems with grammar and coherent conversations), preliminary results seem to show these goals are met.
Expect responses in the Markdown format by default.

## Merge Details

### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [DARE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03099) [TIES](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708) merge method using [meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) as a base.

|      Metric       |Value|
|-------------------|----:|
|Avg.               |29.59|
|IFEval (0-Shot)    |79.41|
|BBH (3-Shot)       |31.39|
|MATH Lvl 5 (4-Shot)|19.18|
|GPQA (0-shot)      | 6.82|
|MuSR (0-shot)      | 8.57|
|MMLU-PRO (5-shot)  |32.14|

* Falls about 1 point behind "Ultra-Instruct" on IFEval and BBH, but everything else is a significant improvement.
