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
(Still testing; details subject to change)
Outputs a lot, pretty chatty like Stheno. Pulls some chaotic creativity from Niitama but its mellowed out with Tamamo. A little cliche writing, but it's almost endearing in a way. Sticks to instructs fairly well and changes to match {user}'s input in length and verbosity at times. Well balanced in all RP uses.
I've tested this model to get up to 8-9k without any repitition, but idk what the true context limit of this model is yet.

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.
