# llama-3-experiment-v1-9B

This is an experimental merge, replicating additional layers to the model without post-merge healing. There is damage to the model, but it appears to be tolerable as is. The resulting impact on narrative text completion may be of interest.

Light testing performed with ChatML instruct prompting and sampler settings:
- temp=1 and minP=0.02
- temp=1 and smoothing factor=0.33
