# GGUF / IQ / Imatrix for [Silver-Sun-11B](https://huggingface.co/ABX-AI/Silver-Sun-11B)

**RE-UPLOAD: The configuration was wrong on the previous quantization. Fixed now! All quants are re-uploaded and Q8 is added**

**Why Importance Matrix?**

**Importance Matrix**, at least based on my testing, has shown to improve the output and performance of "IQ"-type quantizations, where the compression becomes quite heavy.
The **Imatrix** performs a calibration, using a provided dataset. Testing has shown that semi-randomized data can help perserve more important segments as the compression is applied.

The imatrix.txt file that I used contains general, semi-random data, with some custom kink.

# Silver-Sun-11B

> I'd like to experiment more with merging 11B, hopefully adding more options of this weight class.
> This model is good at writing and reasoning, with a preference for more profane NSFW language when the appropriate cards are used.
> I've been having fun with it so far, although at times it can be a bit blunt, although some may prefer that. It's also highly uncensored.

Works best with Alpaca instruction presets.

## Merge Details

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

### Merge Method

This model was merged using the SLERP merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* ABX-AI/Solstice-FKL-11B
>[!NOTE]
>A mixture of [Sao10K/Solstice-11B-v1](https://huggingface.co/Sao10K/Solstice-11B-v1) and [saishf/Fimbulvetr-Kuro-Lotus-10.7B](https://huggingface.co/saishf/Fimbulvetr-Kuro-Lotus-10.7B)
* [Himitsui/Kaiju-11B](https://huggingface.co/Himitsui/Kaiju-11B)

### OpenLLM Eval Results

[Detailed Results + Failed GSM8K](https://huggingface.co/datasets/open-llm-leaderboard/details_ABX-AI__Silver-Sun-11B)


>[!NOTE]
>I had to remove GSM8K from the results and manually re-average the rest. GSM8K failed due to some issue with formatting, which is not experienced during practical usage.
>By removing the GSM8K score, the average is VERY close to upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-v1.0 (74.20), which would make sense.
>Feel free to ignore the actual average and use the other scores individually for reference.
