Strange quirk: This model seems to need a context size of EXACTLY 4096 ONLY. I'm assuming this is a dares_ties effect?
Iambe-20b-DARE-v2
Alpaca prompt formatting
Description
Named after a charming daughter of Echo and Pan in Greek myth, Iambe-20b-DARE-v2 is an improved DARE merge building on my recent experiments.
Iambe is intended to have the best realistically possible understanding of anatomy and of a scene's state for a 20b merge, while remaining personable and authentic in "voice".
Update Methodology
Noromaid and the general "no-robots" vibe didn't come through like I'd hoped in v1. My hypothesis is that the "soul" MythoMax and Noromaid have is probably distributed widely over many low-value deltas, due to the "ephemeral" nature of such a thing.
My old base model was likely giving DARE conniption fits, so I replaced that with a truly vanilla 20b base model.
CleverGirl was updated to the DARE version, as Sir Hillary said, simply because it was there.
Without a large base of dare_ties models to compare to, I'm basically feeling my way through this intuitively, so here's to good results!
