Iambe-RP-20b: An uncensored L2 Frankenstein model directly trained with RP-oriented cDPO
I actually asked the creator of mergekit a question here. In his response, I learned how to use task_arithmetic to isolate the deltas. One could, in theory, use WANDA on that model from the second example, then merge it back into another model. However, that's firmly past the frontier of what has been tried, so experimentation might be messy.

LLMs cannot find reasoning errors, but can correct them
Ah, actually reviewing that more closely I found a link to it in the acknowledgements.
