This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).
This is my first merge — I still have no idea how writing the parameters in the config actually works. (**Update:** I figured it out) If anyone has more extensive guides for merging, please let me know. I would also like to get into the science behind all this.
Both models produced enjoyable results, so I decided to merge them, to create a model hopefully inheriting good traits of the parents. (**Update:** The early testing of this model revealed good coherency, but it sometimes spits out unintelligeble gibberish or made-up words. This is likely due to the broken tokenizer)
I've tested this model on the [**Q6_K GGUF**](https://huggingface.co/redrix/patricide-12B-Unslop-Mell-GGUF/blob/main/patricide-12B-Unslop-Mell-Q6_K.gguf) Quant and it provided satisfactory results, thus I decided to upload it. Although I've not extensively tested it in Storywriting nor RP, the results were stable and *at least* coherent. I tested it on a **Temperature of 1** (Temperature last) and **Min-P of 0.1**. I don't know the effects **DRY** or **XTC** have on the stability of the output, or how it fares on high context sizes. Both parent models use the **ChatML** Template. Although [Unslop-Nemo](https://huggingface.co/TheDrummer/UnslopNemo-12B-v4.1) also uses **Metharme/Pygmalion**. I've not yet tested which works better. (**Update:** Mergekit introduced a feature to define the template; I will force it to use ChatML in my next models, so it has an all-around standard.)
Feel free to experiment, as I am only experimenting myself.
**Update:** I will likely release my next models once I am able to run them, without too much fine-tuning of samplers/parameters/text templates/etc. Extensive testing as per [DavidAU's approach](https://huggingface.co/DavidAU/Maximizing-Model-Performance-All-Quants-Types-And-Full-Precision-by-Samplers_Parameters) will be done afterwards, so I may gain more impressions, while being able to work on new models already. I would like to create models that are very good in their base states, with samplers being the thing to perfect them. As such I won't spend too much time finetuning samplers, unless the model's base state is very promising.
