# SUONG-2

This is a merge of two leading Hermes models created using [LazyMergekit](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1obulZ1ROXHjYLn6PPZJwRR6GzgQogxxb?usp=sharing), combining OpenHermes's robust capabilities with Nous-Hermes-DPO's refined instruction following.

## About Me
I'm David Soeiro-Vuong, a third-year Computer Science student working as an apprentice at TW3 Partners, a company specialized in Generative AI. Passionate about artificial intelligence and language models optimization, I focus on creating efficient model merges that balance performance and capabilities.

## Merge Details
### Merge Method
This model uses SLERP (Spherical Linear Interpolation) with carefully tuned parameters:
- Progressive attention layer fusion patterns
- Balanced MLP layer transitions
- bfloat16 format for efficient memory usage
- Full layer utilization for maximum capability retention
