# Recommended Template
* Basic: Alpaca Format
* Advanced: See context/instruct/sampler settings in [our new Recommended Settings repo](https://huggingface.co/Quant-Cartel/Recommended-Settings/tree/main/Teto-MS-8x7b). 
* Huge shout out to [rAIfle](https://huggingface.co/rAIfle) for his original work on the Wizard 8x22b templates which were modified for this model. 

<H2>Methodology</H2>

> [I]nnovative layer-wise weight averaging technique surpasses state-of-the-art model methods such as Model Soup, utilizing only two fine-tuned models. This strategy can be aptly coined Model Stock, highlighting its reliance on selecting a minimal number of models to draw a more optimized-averaged model
<i> (From [arXiv:2403.19522](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.19522))</i>


* Methodology and merging process was based on the following paper - [Model Stock: All we need is just a few fine-tuned models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.19522)
* Initial model selection was based on top performing models of Mixtral architecture covering a variety of use cases and skills
* Base model (Mixtral Instruct 8x7b v0.1) was chosen after outperforming two other potential base models in terms of MMLU benchmark performance.

# Output

The following models were included in the merge:
* migtissera_Tess-2.0-Mixtral-8x7B-v0.2
* rombodawg_Open_Gpt4_8x7B_v0.2
* Sao10K_Typhon-Mixtral-v1

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml

## Appendix - Llama.cpp MMLU Benchmark Results*

<i>These results were calculated via perplexity.exe from llama.cpp using the following params:</i>

`.\perplexity -m .\models\TeTO-8x7b-MS-v0.03\TeTO-MS-8x7b-Q6_K.gguf -bf .\evaluations\mmlu-test.bin --multiple-choice -c 8192 -t 23 -ngl 200`


```
* V0.01 (4 model / Mixtral Base):
	Final result: 43.3049 +/- 0.4196
	Random chance: 25.0000 +/- 0.3667


* V0.02 (3 model / Tess Mixtral Base):
	Final result: 43.8356 +/- 0.4202
	Random chance: 25.0000 +/- 0.3667


* V0.03 (4 model / Mixtral Instruct Base):
    Final result: 45.7004 +/- 0.4219
    Random chance: 25.0000 +/- 0.3667
