zephyr-wizard-kuno-royale-BF16-merge-7B-GGUF

This is an experimental merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit. All source model weights are BF16, avoiding issues arising from mixed-precision merges.

Although the zephyr beta and WizardLM 2 7B models are touted as SOTA and can generate varied prose compared to base Mistral v0.1, their relatively mediocre benchmarks under GSM-8K suggests only average reasoning capability in one-shot narrative text completion. The kuno-royale-v2 model was selected for merger because of its higher GSM-8K rating.

Native prompt format is Alpaca, although at least one of the prior models was fine-tuned to Vicuna.

Tested lightly with ChatML instruct prompts, temperature 1, and minP 0.02.
