About
This model started as a block-diagonal frankenllama merge between MythoMax13B and Enterredaas33B
However due to some anomaly likely caused by the novel methods used by MythoMax I was unable to initiate the LoRA training needed to bring the resulting model back to order.
Being a Chronorctypus-Limarobormes enjoyer I decided to look further into the TIES-merging that it utilizes- as cited in the arXiv paper: Resolving Interference When Merging Models
I used llama2-22b as the base model upon which I merged the MythoMax/Enterredaas frankenmerge, Dendrite-II and Bacchus
Suffice it to say due to being made of merges of merges Yousei-22B has the DNA of many different models in it, although the Llama-2-chat DNA from Dendrite-II and the DNA from MythoMax seem to shine the brightest.
Usage
I no longer use simple-proxy-for-tavern as part of my testing stack and instead test on a combination of the kobold-lite UI and the latest version of silly-tavern (now with more advanced prompt formatting options)
When using the llama-2 prompt format it tends to produce a lot of refusals when requesting mature or controversial content. When using an alpaca-style format you don't get as many refusals, however they do happen. I have also not yet dialed in what the best generation parameter presets are.
It's decent at roleplay although sometimes wavers between chat style output and prose. Where this model really shines is instruct prescribed writing.

In moonlit glades, where shadows dance and play,
Where ancient magic fills the night away,
A world of wonder, unseen by day,
The yōsei's realm, in softest sway.
Beneath the boughs of trees so tall,
Their leaves like jewels, a treasure to enthrall,
The creatures gather, young and old,
To share their tales, their joys, their bold.
With furry friends, both great and small,
They frolic, wild and free for all,
Through woodland paths, they lead the way,
In this enchanted land of endless fray.
The stars above, their twinkling eyes,
Like fireflies that light the midnight skies,
Guide these mythical beings, wise and true,
As they weave their spells anew.
The rustle of leaves, the snap of twig,
The soft caress of silken wing,
Are music to their ears, a gentle hymn,
In this mystic forest, where they belong.
So let us revel in this place,
Where nature's secrets find their grace,
And bask in the ethereal glow,
Of the world that only yōsei know.
If you find you are getting refusals when using instruct prompts you can almost always get around the refusal like this:
