This is like Gembo v1, but with 6-7% more human data. Does perform a bit worse on the benches(who cares? I do.), but should be able to write in more diverse styles(See waxwing-styles.txt, tested it with v1, v1 does it better.). Mainly made for RP, but should be okay as an assistant. Turned out quite good, considering the amount of LORAs I merged into it.

Observations

• GPTisms and repetition: put temperature and rep. pen. higher, make GPTisms stop sequences
• A bit different than the ususal stuff; I'd say that it has so much slop in it that it unslops itself
• Lightly censored
• Fairly neutral, can be violent if you ask it really good, Goliath is a bit better at it
• Has a bit of optimism baked in, but it's not very severe, maybe a tiny bit more than in v1?
• Don't put too many style tags, here less is better
• Unlike v1, 1.1 knows a bit better when to stop
• Needs more wrangling than v1, but once you get it going it's good
• Sometimes can't handle '
• Moderately intelligent
• Quite creative

Worth over v1?

Nah. I prefer hyperslop over this "humanized" one. Maybe I've been poisoned by slop.

Naming

Internal name of this model was euryale-guano-saiga-med-janboros-kim-wing-lima-wiz-tony-d30-s40, but I decided to keep it short, and since it was iteration G in my files, I called it "Gembo".

Prompt format

Alpaca. You can also try some other formats, I'm pretty sure it has a lot of them from all those merges.

### Instruction:
{instruction}

### Response:

Settings

As I already mentioned, high temperature and rep.pen. works great. For RP try something like this:

• temperature=5
• MinP=0.10
• rep.pen.=1.15

Adjust to match your needs.

How it was created

I took Sao10K/Euryale-1.3-L2-70B (Good base model) and added

• Mikael110/llama-2-70b-guanaco-qlora (Creativity+assistant)
• IlyaGusev/saiga2_70b_lora (Creativity+assistant)
• s1ghhh/medllama-2-70b-qlora-1.1 (More data)
• v2ray/Airoboros-2.1-Jannie-70B-QLoRA (Creativity+assistant)
• Chat-Error/fiction.live-Kimiko-V2-70B (Creativity)
• alac/Waxwing-Storytelling-70B-LoRA (New, creativity)
• Doctor-Shotgun/limarpv3-llama2-70b-qlora (Creativity)
• v2ray/LLaMA-2-Wizard-70B-QLoRA (Creativity+assistant)
• v2ray/TonyGPT-70B-QLoRA (Special spice)

Then I SLERP-merged it with cognitivecomputations/dolphin-2.2-70b (Needed to bridge the gap between this wonderful mess and Smaxxxer, otherwise it's quality is low) with 0.3t and then SLERP-merged it again with ChuckMcSneed/SMaxxxer-v1-70b (Creativity) with 0.4t. For SLERP-merges I used https://github.com/arcee-ai/mergekit.
