Description

This repo contains bf16 files of Nyxene-v1-11B. Same as the previous version but I used newer models and tried to repeat what I experimented with when there were older models.

Model used

• berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha
• openaccess-ai-collective/DPOpenHermes-7B
• fblgit/juanako-7b-UNA
• chargoddard/loyal-piano-m7
• argilla/notus-7b-v1

I added a new model because after the same action but using zephyr and dolphin the model turned out to be more creative.

Prompt template

The best one after further testing is this one:

<|system|>
Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

I use mergekit for all the manipulation told here.
