# Update 2023-12-19

In light of [dataset contamination issue among the merged models](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard/discussions/474)
raised by the community in recent days, in particular
[berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha](https://huggingface.co/berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha),
[Q-bert/MetaMath-Cybertron-Starling](https://huggingface.co/Q-bert/MetaMath-Cybertron-Starling), and
[janai-hq/trinity-v1](https://huggingface.co/janai-hq/trinity-v1),
we decided to remake another model without the models mentioned.
Additionally, their CC-by-NC-4.0 license is restrictive and thus are not suitable for an open model.


# Model Description
This is an experiment to test merging 14 models using DARE TIES 🦙

The merged model is then merged again with [janai-hq/trinity-v1](https://huggingface.co/janai-hq/trinity-v1) using Gradient SLERP.
The result is a base model that performs quite well but requires some further instruction fine-tuning.

The 14 models are as follows:
1. [mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2)
2. [ehartford/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/dolphin-2.2.1-mistral-7b)
3. [SciPhi/SciPhi-Mistral-7B-32k](https://huggingface.co/SciPhi/SciPhi-Mistral-7B-32k)
4. [ehartford/samantha-1.2-mistral-7b](https://huggingface.co/ehartford/samantha-1.2-mistral-7b)
