NousResearch/Nous-Capybara-34B, migtissera/Tess-M-v1.3 and bhenrym14/airoboros-3_1-yi-34b-200k merged with a new, experimental implementation of "dare ties" via mergekit. See:

Merged with the following config, and the tokenizer from chargoddard's Yi-Llama:
models:
- model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/chargoddard_Yi-34B-200K-Llama
# no parameters necessary for base model
- model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/migtissera_Tess-M-v1.3
parameters:
weight: 0.41
density: 0.50
- model: /home/alpha//Storage/Models/Raw/bhenrym14_airoboros-3_1-yi-34b-200k
parameters:
weight: 0.18
density: 0.46
- model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/Nous-Capybara-34B
parameters:
weight: 0.41
density: 0.50
merge_method: dare_ties
base_model: /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/chargoddard_Yi-34B-200K-Llama
parameters:
int8_mask: true
dtype: bfloat16
dare_ties is testing with better perplexity than a regular ties merge with the same merge configuration. Model weights that add up to one also seem optimal from testing. And high context results seem... better than the previous dare merge with Tess 1.2.
I chose not to include other finetunes, such as Dolphin, because they aren't trained on the 200K base. If any other 200K finetunes pop up, let me know.

ASSISTANT:
Being a Yi model, try disabling the BOS token and/or running a lower temperature with MinP (and no other samplers) if output doesn't seem right. Yi tends to run "hot" by default.
Sometimes the model "spells out" the stop token as </s> like Capybara, so you may need to add </s> as an additional stopping condition. It also might respond to the llama-2 chat format.
24GB GPUs can run Yi-34B-200K models at 45K-75K context with exllamav2. I go into more detail in this post, and recommend exl2 quantizations on data similar to the desired task, such as these targeted at story writing: 4.0bpw / 3.1bpw
