Second (third) time's the charm. After fighting with Formax trying to increase it's max context to something that isn't 4k, spat out this merge as a result. Still maintains a lot of v0.1's properties; creativity, literacy, and chattiness. Knowing everything I've learned making this, time to dive headfirst into making an L3.1 space whale.
I stg LLMs are testing me.

Details & Recommended Settings
Outputs a lot, pretty fucking chatty like Stheno. Pulls some chaotic creativity from Niitama but its mellowed out with Tamamo. Flowery dramatic writing at times. Starts repeating at basic settings around 8k but DRY eliminates it and can handle 32k context. Very good instructions following.

Models Merged & Merge Theory
The following models were included in the merge:
- Edgerunners/Lyraea-large-llama-3.1
- Sao10K/L3-8B-Stheno-v3.3-32K
- Sao10K/L3.1-8B-Niitama-v1.1
- Sao10K/L3-8B-Tamamo-v1
- ArliAI/ArliAI-Llama-3-8B-Formax-v1.0
- gradientai/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Gradient-1048k
Compared to v0.1, the siithamol3.1 part stayed the same. To 'increase' the context of Formax, just chopped of the ladder half and replaced it with a ~1M context model and that seemed to do the trick (after doing a bunch of other shit, this was the simplest and easiest route). Then, changed from dare_linear to breadcrumbs for the final merge, gave a better output without the hassle. Again, TIES anything didn't work nearly as well.
