This model benchmarks quite well compared to other 7b models, and has exceptional MT-Bench and EQ-Bench v2.1 scores, ranking higher than ChatGPT-3.5-turbo and Claude-1 in both tests, and Goliath-120b, and other 70B models in the latter .

Merge Details
Merge Method
This model was merged using the DARETIES merge method using mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 as a base.
Density was chosen deterministically between the models chosen for this merge. After testing many densities, I settled on 0.58 for each of the chosen models as it returned the highest EQ-Bench score. Not much testing was done with the weights, but I thought that I'd try gradients. Conceptually, Westlake and a Distilled version of Open Heremes are heavier in the initial layers (guiding understanding, and thoughts), before Noromaid and AlphaMonarch come in to guide its wants, reasoning, and conversation.
The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:
