Stheno-v3.2-Zeta

I have done a test run with multiple variations of the models, merged back to its base at various weights, different training runs too, and this Sixth iteration is the one I like most.

Changes compared to v3.1 <br>- Included a mix of SFW and NSFW Storywriting Data, thanks to Gryphe <br>- Included More Instruct / Assistant-Style Data <br>- Further cleaned up Roleplaying Samples from c2 Logs -> A few terrible, really bad samples escaped heavy filtering. Manual pass fixed it. <br>- Hyperparameter tinkering for training, resulting in lower loss levels.

Testing Notes - Compared to v3.1 <br>- Handles SFW / NSFW seperately better. Not as overly excessive with NSFW now. Kinda balanced. <br>- Better at Storywriting / Narration. <br>- Better at Assistant-type Tasks. <br>- Better Multi-Turn Coherency -> Reduced Issues? <br>- Slightly less creative? A worthy tradeoff. Still creative. <br>- Better prompt / instruction adherence.
