# Evolutionary model merge

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [task arithmetic](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04089) merge method using NeuralBeagle14-7B as a base. Evaluated over 100 merges. 

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* Starling-LM-7B-beta_581094980
* Mistral-7B-v0.1-flashback-v2-instruct_3664132380
* NeuralBeagle14-7B_2368216670
