# Psyfighter2-Orca2-ties

Psyfighter2-Orca2-ties is a merge of the following models using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit):
* [KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2](https://huggingface.co/KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2)
* [microsoft/Orca-2-13b](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Orca-2-13b)

This is my very first merge I have ever attempted. The motivation behind this merge is to try and create a 13B version of [jebcarter/psyonic-cetacean-20B](https://huggingface.co/jebcarter/psyonic-cetacean-20B). I don't have a good GPU (GTX 1660 6GB), so although I can merge the model, I cannot actually run it. However, the Open LLM Leaderboard ranks this merge with 63.48 avg point, which is higher than both KoboldAI/LLaMA2-13B-Psyfighter2 and jebcarter/psyonic-cetacean-20B, so I must did something right. The next step is to quantize this merge into GGUF so I can actually run it with [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp).
