The paper delves into the world of model merging, exploring a novel method called 'Evolutionary Model Merge' that uses evolutionary algorithms to automatically discover and combine pre-trained large language models (LLMs). The approach optimizes both the parameter space and data flow space to create more powerful and versatile AI models. Engineers and specialists can leverage the Evolutionary Model Merge method to automate the process of combining pre-trained models, eliminating the need for human intuition and expanding the search space for potential model combinations. This approach opens up possibilities for developing more efficient, cost-effective, and powerful AI systems with emergent capabilities.
