# merge

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [SLERP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slerp) merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [sometimesanotion/Lamarck-14B-v0.7-rc4](https://huggingface.co/sometimesanotion/Lamarck-14B-v0.7-rc4)
* [sthenno/tempesthenno-ppo-ckpt40](https://huggingface.co/sthenno/tempesthenno-ppo-ckpt40)

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml
# =============================================================================
# SuperMerge-14B-Simple
#
# This configuration merges only two components:
#   - Base Model: Provides stable foundational features.
#       Model: sometimesanotion/Lamarck-14B-v0.7-rc4
#
#   - Reasoning Module: Drives enhanced mid-layer reasoning.
#       Model: sthenno/tempesthenno-ppo-ckpt40
#
# The merge is performed using slerp with a V-shaped interpolation curve.
# Weighting across each 8-layer slice is tuned to balance core feature
# preservation with advanced reasoning.
