# merge

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

## Merge Details

The goal of this merge was to make an RP model better suited for role-plays with heavy themes such as but not limited to:
- Mental illness
- Self-harm
- Trauma
- Suicide

I hated how RP models tended to be overly positive and hopeful with role-plays involving such themes,
but thanks to [failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule](https://huggingface.co/failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule) this problem has been lessened considerably.

If you're an enjoyer of savior/reverse savior type role-plays like myself, then this bot is for you.

**Compared to v1, v3 has better intelligence, fewer GPTisms, and much more human-like responses compared to before. Having MopeyMule merge with RP LoRAs also seems to have increased its effectiveness in changing the tone of RP LLMs, so feel free to use the MopeyMule mergers I made for your own merges:**
