Merge Details

I Greatly expanded the amount of models used in this merge, experimented a lot with different idea's. This version feels a lot more convincing than V1.5 Hopefully the long context window will also remain strong after Quants. Because of the many merges switched back from BFloat to Float. Tried breadcrums without the Ties, that went very poorly.

Merge Method

This model was merged using the breadcrumbs_ties merge method using I:\Llama-3-70B-Instruct-Gradient-262k as a base.
