# DaringMaid-20B
My goal was to make a Noromaid that's smarter and better at following instructions. 

After trying a bunch of different recipes I think this one turned out pretty good

- I used [sequelbox/DynamicFactor](https://huggingface.co./sequelbox/DynamicFactor) as a base to as its supposed "improve overall knowledge, precise communication, conceptual understanding, and technical skill" over the base llama2.
- [NeverSleep/Noromaid](https://huggingface.co./NeverSleep/Noromaid-13b-v0.1.1) of course.
- [Undi95/Utopia](https://huggingface.co./Undi95/Utopia-13B) has been recommended again recently and its still really good so in the mixer it goes
- I liked [tavtav/Rose](https://huggingface.co./tavtav/Rose-20B) so i threw in a bit of [CalderaAI/Thorns](https://huggingface.co./CalderaAI/13B-Thorns-l2) 
- There was recently a model that tried to pass itself off as [Gryphe/MythoMax](https://huggingface.co./Gryphe/MythoMax-L2-13b), i made a merge with that model before it was revealed to be MythoMax and it turned out pretty good so i used it.

The .yml config files for mergekit with the exact merges can be found in the ["Recipe"](https://huggingface.co./Kooten/DaringMaid/tree/main/Recipe) folder in the [fp16 repo](https://huggingface.co./Kooten/DaringMaid-20B)
