# Yi 34B 200K DARE Merge v8

A merge of many Yi 34B 200K models using the new DARE Ties method via mergekit. The goal is to create a merge model that excels at 32K+ context performance, without any additional finetuning.

## Prompt template: Orca-Vicuna
```
SYSTEM: {system_message}
USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:
```
It might recognize ChatML, and possibly Alpaca-like formats. Raw prompting as described here is also effective: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/18zqy4s/the_secret_to_writing_quality_stories_with_llms/



## Running
Being a Yi model, run a lower temperature with 0.1 or higher MinP, a little repetition penalty, maybe mirostat with a low tau, and no other samplers. Yi tends to run "hot" by default, and it really needs a low temperature + MinP to cull Yi's huge vocabulary. See the explanation here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/3841

24GB GPUs can efficiently run Yi-34B-200K models at **40K-90K context** with exllamav2, and performant UIs like [exui](https://github.com/turboderp/exui). I go into more detail in this [post](https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1896igc/how_i_run_34b_models_at_75k_context_on_24gb_fast/). 16GB GPUs can still run the high context with aggressive quantization.

Lonestriker has also uploaded general purpose quantizations here: https://huggingface.co/models?sort=trending&search=LoneStriker+Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8

Additionally, TheBloke has uploaded experimental GGUFs using llama.cpp's new imatrix quantization feature, profiled on VMware open-instruct: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8-GGUF

To load/train this in full-context backends like transformers, you *must* change `max_position_embeddings` in config.json to a lower value than 200,000, otherwise you will OOM! I do not recommend running high context without context-efficient backends like exllamav2, litellm or unsloth.


## Testing Notes

See: https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-merge-v5#testing-notes

An intermediate merge model was created to try and extend the context of several 4k models before adding them to the main merge, as seen in the "megamerge" recipe below. I can upload this upon request

In addition, the weight gradients are biased towards Vicuna-format models in the first few layers to try and "emphasize" the Orca-Vicuna prompt template. How sucessful this is remains to be seen. 



## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [DARE](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.03099) [TIES](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708) merge method using /home/alpha/Storage/Models/Raw/chargoddard_Yi-34B-200K-Llama as a base.

## Self Promotion

I'm part of a AI startup called Holocene AI!

We're new, busy, and still setting things up. But if you have any business inquiries, want a job, or just want some consultation, feel free to shoot me an email. We have expertise in RAG applications and llama/embeddings model finetuning, and absolutely *none* of the nonsense of scammy AI startups.

Contact me at: [email protected]

I also set up a Ko-Fi! I want to run some (personal) training/LASERing as well, at 100K context or so. If you'd like to buy me 10 minutes on an A100 (or 5 seconds on an MI300X), I'd appreciate it: https://ko-fi.com/alphaatlas
