# Llama-3-Luminurse-v0.2-OAS-8B

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

Luminurse is a merge based on Lumimaid, enhanced with a biomedical model (at higher strength than v0.1), with a dash of TheSpice thrown in to improve formatting of text generation.

Boosting temperature has the interesting property of reducing repetitiveness and increasing verbosity of the model at the same time. Higher temperature also increases the odds of reasoning slippage (which can be manually mitigated by swiping for regeneration), so settings should be adjusted according to one's comfort levels. Lightly tested using Instruct prompts with temperature in the range of 1 to 1.6 (pick something in between to start, perhaps in the range of 1.2-1.45) and minP=0.01.
