# shadow-clown-7B-slerp

shadow-clown-7B-slerp is a DARE merge of the following models using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit):
* [Gille/StrangeMerges_32-7B-slerp](https://huggingface.co/Gille/StrangeMerges_32-7B-slerp)
* [yam-peleg/Experiment26-7B](https://huggingface.co/yam-peleg/Experiment26-7B)

See the paper [Language Models are Super Mario: Absorbing Abilities from Homologous Models as a Free Lunch](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03099) for more on the method.
