A linear merge of:

• cognitivecomputations/dolphin-2.6-mistral-7b-dpo-laser
• Locutusque/Hyperion-1.5-Mistral-7B
• ibm/merlinite-7b

These three models showed excellent acumen in technical topics so I wanted to see how they would behave together in a merge. Several different ratios were tested before this release, in the end a higher weighting for merlinite-7b helped smooth out some edges. This model is a test of how LAB tuning is impacted by merges with models leveraging DPO.

This was my first experiment with merging models so any feedback is greatly appreciated.
