Boreas-24B-v1.2 Overview

Naphula/Boreas-24B-v1.2 is a 24 billion parameter model that incorporates the FLUX_v5 method, a technique previously used in v1.0. This version is the result of an intensive 20-hour FLUX merge process involving 1000 iterations, aimed at achieving an optimal model configuration.

Key Characteristics

• FLUX_v5 Method: Leverages a specific merging technique for model construction.
• Extensive Merging Process: Underwent a 20-hour, 1000-iteration FLUX merge to refine its parameters.
• Standalone Stability: Although a sub-component of the upcoming v1.3, v1.2 is released as a stable, functional model on its own.
• Bug-Free: Notably, this version is free from the bugs associated with v1.

Performance Insights

Comparative analysis against the RSCE method indicates that Boreas-24B-v1.2 models perform within 1% of each other. Specific components, such as 'Mullein', exhibited a magnitude of 8%, with others closer to 7%.
