WestLake-10.7B-v2: Role-Play & Text Generation Specialist Model

GGUF version available here
EXL2 versions available here: 3.3bpw / 4.0bpw / 5.0bpw / 6.0bpw / 8.0bpw

This is my first viable self-merge of the fantastic WestLake-7B-v2 model, obtained after more than 12 rounds of testing different merge configurations. In my LLM Creativity Benchmark, it greatly improves over the original 7B model, and ranks between miqu-1-120b and goliath-120b! I would describe the improvements as a better writing style, with more details. It has a bit more difficulties following instructions, but not by much.

It is also the first model I have tested to obtain a perfect score with the following test:

Write a sequence of nominal groups that flow into one another, using the following rules:
- each nominal group is made of exactly 3 words
- the first word of each nominal group must be the last word of the previous nominal group
- the first word of the first nominal group is: "ball"
- the last word of the last nominal group is: "stone"
- there must be a theme, of your choosing,  pertaining to all nominal groups
- there must be exactly 7 nominal groups, leading from the first word (ball) to the last word (stone)
- a word already used at the beginning and end of a nominal group cannot be reused
Present your solution as a list numbered with roman numerals.
Finally, explain why you chose your specific theme.

Usage

• Base model: senseable/WestLake-7B-v2 based of Mistral-7B-v0.1
• Context size: 8192 (even though Mistral-7B is 32k, WestLake was trained with 8k, and using a larger context is likely to cause problems)
• Prompt format: in general, Mistral based models are able to understand many prompt formats, but the following produce the best results, and are recommended (in order of preference)
  • Alpaca (reported by senseable as working better than ChatML, and confirmed by me)
  • ChatML (used during WestLake training)
  • Mistral Instruct (original format from Mistral-7B)
  • Zephyr (variant of ChatML which I have found to sometimes produce better results)
