🧪 FrankenDans-PersonalityPatchwork-VX-12b 🧠

🔬 About This Experiment

What's in the Box™?
We've frankenmerged Dan's PersonalityEngine v1.1.0 (instruction specialist) and v1.3.0 (short-context genius) using forbidden layer alchemy. The result? A questionable-quality hybrid that:

• 🧠 Short-Term Brilliance: Inherits v1.3.0's razor-sharp focus for one-shot tasks
• 🔋 Long-Context Stamina: Keeps v1.1.0's 24k+ token stability
• ⚠️ Reduced Safety Rails: 23% more unhinged than standard models*
• 🩹 Personality Patchwork: Stitched together with mergekit and hope

✍🏻 Inference Tips

1. Temperature: 1.0 for "Dan's Special" creativity
2. Repetition Penalty: 1.07-1.15 to contain enthusiasm
3. TOP_P: 0.95
4. TOP_K: 100
5. MIN_P: 0.05
6. Template Format: ChatML
7. Max Output: 256 (for oneshot up to 1024)
8. Context Management:
   • First 8k tokens: Brilliant ✨
   • Beyond 24k: Engage context stabilizers 🛡️

🧩 FrankenMerge Architecture

Component	Source Model	Contribution
Early Layers (0-12)	Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.3.0-12b	Short-context brilliance
Middle Layers (12-24)	Hybrid Model Stock Merge	Transitional stability
Late Layers (24-38)	Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.1.0-12b	Uncensored instruction following
Last Layers (38-40)	NewEden/MistralAI-Nemo-Instruct-ChatML	Long-context durability
Attention Mechanism	Franken-merger's wild guess	"Optimized randomness"

Merge Method: passthrough with 3-stage surgical implantation
Recommended Dosage: 8k-24k context window

💊 Reproduction steps

Spoiler warning

1. Retokenize 1.3.0 model to use tokens from 1.1.0

mergekit-tokensurgeon "PocketDoc/Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.3.0-12b" "PocketDoc/Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.1.0-12b" ./retokenized_1_3_0 --approximation-method omp --k 64 --magikarp

2. Stabilize retokenized model with base Instruct model using breadcrumbs_ties

merge_method: breadcrumbs_ties
base_model: NewEden/MistralAI-Nemo-Instruct-ChatML
models:
  - model: NewEden/MistralAI-Nemo-Instruct-ChatML
    parameters: 
      weight: 0.10
      density: 1.0
      gamma: 0.01
  - model: ./retokenized_1_3_0
    parameters:
      weight: 0.9
      density: 0.9
      gamma: 0.01
dtype: bfloat16
tokenizer_source: ./retokenized_1_3_0

mergekit-yaml stabilize_v1_3_0.yaml ./stage1_out --cuda

3. Merge of stabilized 1.3.0 with 1.1.0 using model_stock

merge_method: model_stock
base_model: NewEden/MistralAI-Nemo-Instruct-ChatML
models:
  - model: ./stage1_out  # Output from Stage 1
    parameters:
      weight: 0.65
  - model: PocketDoc/Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.1.0-12b
    parameters:
      weight: 0.35
parameters:
  temperature: 0.8
dtype: bfloat16
tokenizer_source: PocketDoc/Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.1.0-12b

mergekit-yaml model_stock_merge.yaml ./stage2_out --cuda

4. Perform frankenmerge using passthrough

merge_method: passthrough
slices:
  # Early layers - 1.3.0's intelligence
  - sources:
      - model: ./stage1_out
        layer_range: [0, 12]
  
  # Middle layers - Hybrid from Stage 2
  - sources:
      - model: ./stage2_out
        layer_range: [12, 24]
  
  # Late layers - 1.1.0's stability & uncensored qualities
  - sources:
      - model: PocketDoc/Dans-PersonalityEngine-V1.1.0-12b
        layer_range: [24, 38]

  # Last layers - ChatML Base long context
  - sources:
      - model: NewEden/MistralAI-Nemo-Instruct-ChatML
        layer_range: [38, 40]
dtype: bfloat16

mergekit-yaml frankenmerge.yaml ./FrankenDans-PersonalityPatchwork-VX-12b --cuda

5. Optional - create Q8_0 GGUF using llama.cpp

• use convert_hf_to_gguf.py script from llama.cpp (here's source)

python convert_hf_to_gguf.py ~/projects/FrankenDans-PersonalityPatchwork-VX-12b --outtype q8_0
