Update 2023-12-19

In light of dataset contamination issue among the merged models raised by the community in recent days, in particular berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha, Q-bert/MetaMath-Cybertron-Starling, and janai-hq/trinity-v1, we decided to remake another model without the models mentioned. Additionally, their CC-by-NC-4.0 license is restrictive and thus are not suitable for an open model.

Model Description

This is an experiment to test merging 14 models using DARE TIES 🦙

The merged model is then merged again with janai-hq/trinity-v1 using Gradient SLERP. The result is a base model that performs quite well but requires some further instruction fine-tuning.

The 14 models are as follows:

1. mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2
2. ehartford/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b
3. SciPhi/SciPhi-Mistral-7B-32k
4. ehartford/samantha-1.2-mistral-7b
5. Arc53/docsgpt-7b-mistral
6. berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha
7. Q-bert/MetaMath-Cybertron-Starling
8. Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca
9. v1olet/v1olet_marcoroni-go-bruins-merge-7B
10. beowolx/MistralHermes-CodePro-7B-v1
11. TIGER-Lab/MAmmoTH-7B-Mistral
12. teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B
13. Weyaxi/OpenHermes-2.5-neural-chat-v3-3-Slerp
14. mlabonne/NeuralHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B

• base model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1
