Using PruneMe to find minimal average distance. Thank you for awesome toolkit @arcee-ai !
It shows pruning the 22-30 layer is the best option, but I'm worried about drasitical change between 22 to 23.
I haven't done any post-training (called 'healing' process as the paper suggests), will do it later but no guarantee at all.
This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.
This model was merged using the passthrough merge method.
The following models were included in the merge:
The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:
