Gemma Advanced V2.1

This is a merge of the 'smartest' advanced fine-tunes available for Gemma-2-9b-it. It includes WPO, SimPO, and SPPO. The merge was performed via the SOTA 'della' merge method. Merge parameters have been hand-tuned for best results. The Q8_0 quant is highly recommended until better quants come along.

Notes and observations:

The extreme temperature sensitivity from V1 has been fixed, no longer needs to be run at lower temperatures
Has a somewhat different writing style than any of the parent models
Great instruction following
Tracks plot details well and has good situational understanding
Seems to have a good understanding of psychology, emotions and creative writing
More 'sane' than base gemma-it, SPPO, or SimPO - not as prone to 'Cruella De Vil' or 'Evil Sorceress' like SPPO or SimPO, when portraying characters
Would likely serve as a good base for further merges
I'm looking for a job, if you're hiring. I'm a skilled Python developer who brings strong devops skills along with an ever-growing knowledge of machine learning pipelines and models. Message me if you want to talk about what I can bring to your team.
Overall, this feels like a very useful and successful merge.

Thanks to everyone who was kind enough to provide quants!

I'll link to other quants as they appear.
