Developed by merging Teknium's OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B and Open-Orca's Mistral-7B-OpenOrca, this model isn't just any ordinary merged language model. It's been uniquely fine-tuned using the Sauerkraut dataset, a rich and varied source of German language data.

What makes SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO stand out? Here's the scoop:

• Optimal Balance: By integrating extensive German data with essential international sources, we've created a model that excels in understanding the nuances of the German language without compromising its global capabilities.
• Innovative Technology: Utilizing the gradient SLERP method from MergeKit, we've seamlessly fused two of the most advanced 7B models based on the Mistral framework. This blend brings together the best features of both models, creating an unmatched synergy.
• Cultural and Linguistic Mastery: The incorporation of the German Sauerkraut dataset, a unique mix of augmented and translated data, empowers the model to master the intricacies of the German language. This was achieved without the usual loss of core competencies that often comes with fine-tuning non-German models in German.
• Bilingual Proficiency: Our approach ensures that SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO not only retains its original strengths but also gains a profound understanding of German. This sets a new benchmark in bilingual language model proficiency.

This isn't just a step forward in language modeling; it's a leap into a future where AI understands and communicates in German as naturally as it does in English without the need of resource extensive German Foundation Models.
