# Model Description
This is an experiment to compare merging 2 models using DARE TIES versus SLERP 🦙

We are mainly interested to compare against [Weyaxi/OpenHermes-2.5-neural-chat-v3-3-Slerp](https://huggingface.co./Weyaxi/OpenHermes-2.5-neural-chat-v3-3-Slerp)

The 2 models involved in the merge as follows:
1. [teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B](https://huggingface.co./teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B)
2. [Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3](https://huggingface.co./Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3)

- base model: [mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co./mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1)

The yaml config file for the merge is:

```yaml
models:
  - model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1
    # no parameters necessary for base model
  - model: teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B
    parameters:
      weight: 0.5
      density: 0.5
  - model: Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-3
    parameters:
      weight: 0.5
      density: 0.5
merge_method: dare_ties
base_model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1
parameters:
  int8_mask: true
dtype: bfloat16
```

Note that with more tuning DARE TIES might achieve better results.
