Morbid-Aether-X-12B: Experimental Merge Model

Morbid-Aether-X-12B is an experimental 12 billion parameter model developed by DarkArtsForge, built upon the MistralForCausalLM architecture. It employs a highly complex and compute-intensive aether_x merge method, involving 71 global YAML parameters and integrating six distinct 12B base models, each contributing a weight of 0.25.

Key Characteristics

• Experimental Merge Method: Utilizes the aether_x method (version 81/29), which is noted for its extreme computational demands and extensive parameter configuration.
• Multi-Model Integration: Merges several 12B models, including Moonlit-Mirage-12B-Heretic, Irix-12B-Model_Stock-absolute-heresy, KrakenSakura-Maelstrom-12B-v1, KansenSakura-Erosion-RP-12B-heretic, QuasiStarSynth-12B-absolute-heresy, and Ancient-Awakening-12B-MPOA, all based on Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407.
• Intensive Processing: The merging process for this model took 26 hours despite using a max_iter: 32 setting, indicating a significant computational footprint.
• Unique Output Focus: While its performance relative to less extreme merges like Morbid-Miasma-12B is noted as potentially different due to the extreme processing, the model is expected to yield "interesting results" from its complex integration.

Good For

• Exploratory Research: Ideal for researchers and developers interested in the effects of highly complex and experimental model merging techniques.
• Generating Unique Outputs: Suitable for use cases where novel or unconventional text generation is desired, stemming from its extreme processing and multi-model donor base.
• Understanding Merge Dynamics: Provides a case study for observing the outcomes of combining numerous models with significant computational effort.
