Excited to announce the release of the community version of our guardrails: WalledGuard-C!

Feel free to use it—compared to Meta’s guardrails, it offers superior performance, being 4x faster. Most importantly, it's free for nearly any use!

🎉 We are thrilled to share our work on model merging. We proposed a new approach, Della-merging, which combines expert models from various domains into a single, versatile model. Della employs a magnitude-based sampling approach to eliminate redundant delta parameters, reducing interference when merging homologous models (those fine-tuned from the same backbone).

Della outperforms existing homologous model merging techniques such as DARE and TIES. Across three expert models (LM, Math, Code) and their corresponding benchmark datasets (AlpacaEval, GSM8K, MBPP), Della achieves an improvement of 3.6 points over TIES and 1.2 points over DARE.
