# ZEUS 8B 🌩️ V2

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 [DARE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03099) [TIES](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708) merge method using [unsloth/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) as a base.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [arcee-ai/Llama-3.1-SuperNova-Lite](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Llama-3.1-SuperNova-Lite)
* [akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B](https://huggingface.co/akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B)
* [Orenguteng/Llama-3.1-8B-Lexi-Uncensored-V2](https://huggingface.co/Orenguteng/Llama-3.1-8B-Lexi-Uncensored-V2)

# Inference Settings

Personal recommendations are to use a [i1-Q4_K_M](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1ck76rk/weightedimatrix_vs_static_quants/) quant with these settings:

```
num_ctx = 4096
repeat_penalty = 1.2
temperature = 0.85
tfs_z = 1.4
top_k = 0 # Change to 40+ if you're roleplaying
top_p = 1 # Change to 0.9 if top_k > 0
```
