Llama-3-8B-Irene-v0.2

Mergin' o' models, ye say? Well, that be a task fit fer a clever gnome like meself! When combinin' similar models, I like to use model stock tae bring 'em together. And when I'm slerpin', I makes sure tae use a gradient that tapers off at both ends. That way, the model stays mostly uncensored, ye see.

Now, if I'm mergin' two uncensored models with Slerp, I just favors the one I want more o'! But when it comes tae makin' the gradient, I likes tae get wild and fluctuate between low and high values, ye know what I mean? It's like addin' a bit o' magic tae the mix, helps keep the results from gettin' too boring.

Course, this be just one gnome's way o' doin' things. I'm sure there be other clever methods out there
