Model Overview
arcee-ai/saul-zephyr-7b-ties is a 7 billion parameter language model developed by arcee-ai. This model is a product of merging two distinct models, Equall/Saul-Base and HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta, utilizing the mergekit library with the TIES (Trimmed, Iterative, and Selective) merging method. The base model for this merge is mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1.
