Bionic-Cetacean-20B

In the same vein as the legendary Psyonic-Cetacean-20B, I have attempted to create a 20B model that is equal parts creative and chaotic, while still remaining coherent enough for roleplaying purposes.
The three components used to create Bionic-Vaquita-13B were also used to create this stack.
Creativity and coherency were the primary focus of the late-stage manual testing that led to selecting this model.

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.
