Weight merging and layers splicing

#2
by Luke2642 - opened

A fun research project!

Have you or do you plan to try layer splicing or weight blending of the cat model on the original model and see anything interesting?

Thank you! There are many interesting paths we could try at this moment to continue the project; currently on the list:

  • SFT on different domains (at present we only did math)
  • RL for natural emerging of reasoning in the stories
  • a new SFT run with stories that actually talk about the query
  • prompt gating to allow for inference-time customization
  • some kind of layer merging/weight blending as you suggested (thank you!)

I'll need to decide on what to try first as my free time is currently limited and my 3090 is already being hammered 24/7 with new research experiments, but I'll take note of any suggestion I get!
