DarkAtom-12B-v3 Overview

DarkAtom-12B-v3 is a 12 billion parameter language model developed by Khetterman, distinguished by its unique construction as a merge of 18 different base models. This intricate merging process, orchestrated using mergekit, involved a multi-step approach combining Slerp, ModelStock, and Ties methods, along with re-merging variations to achieve its final form. The model integrates diverse characteristics from its numerous components, aiming to leverage their collective strengths.
