# Winter Garden 7B - β

It was mentioned that we are in the open ai dark winter; so I thought I would make myself a nice winter garden.

## An experiment

I've merged four partitions successfully in the past, so lets go for 9! I started with:

* Mistral-7B-v0.1

and merged in

* ZySec-7B-v1
* LemonadeRP-4.5.3
* dpo-binarized-NeutrixOmnibe-7B
* Multi-Verse-RP-7B
* AlphaMonarch-7B
* opus-v1.2-7b
* Kunoichi-DPO-v2-7B
* Noromaid-7B-0.4-DPO
* ogno-monarch-jaskier-merge-7b-OH-PREF-DPO-v2
 
### 9-partition merge

All of the layers were partitioned in to 9 random bins.  Alternating models were slerped at [0...1], and [1...0] gradients; except attention, which was slerped at 0.03.

This means that the model is still predominantly ordered around base mistral - including half of the input and output layers, and 28% of attention.

### Other

Includes fast tokenizer.

## Chat Template

I put a conversational chat template, which takes "name", "to" (optional), and "content" as the turns.  It is designed to follow a transcript style chat which is used by some of the models.  This type of use-case is best done by outlining a scene and creating a character card.

```
### {% title %}
{% metadata %}

USER: Hello

ASSISTANT: Hi, how are you?

```

Initial tests show this model is a real talker.  If you prompt with ```[WP] <prompt>\n\n``` it will take right off.
