### 13B-Chimera


[] = applied as LoRA to a composite model | () = combined as composite models

((MantiCore3E+VicunaCocktail)+[SuperCOT+[StorytellingV2+(SuperHOTProtoType-8192ctx+Metharme)]])

This model is the result of an experimental use of LoRAs on language models and model merges that are not the base HuggingFace-format LLaMA model they were intended for.

This experiment is to determine:

Outcomes of applying Lower Order Rank Adapters in unconventional ways.
Determine if applying LoRAs and stacking LoRAs onto merged models bypasses the zero-sum result of weight-sum model merging.

The desired result is to additively apply desired features without paradoxically watering down a model's effective behavior.

Results are very promising. Further tests are required.

Releasing Chimera as-is; Alpaca instruct verified working, Vicuna instruct formats should work.
If using KoboldAI or Text-Generation-WebUI, recommend switching between Godlike and Storywriter presets and adjusting output length + instructions in memory.
Other presets as well as custom settings can yield highly different results as well as Temperature. If poking it with a stick doesn't work try another stick.

Also thanks to Meta for LLaMA.

Each model and LoRA was hand picked and considered for what it could contribute to this ensemble.
Thanks to each and every one of you for your incredible work developing some of the best things
to come out of this community.
