Model merging

Combining the weights of multiple separately fine-tuned models (e.g. via linear interpolation, SLERP, or task arithmetic) into one model that inherits their capabilities without any further training.

grounded in: Trend theme 'Open-weights AI models' plus the open-weight ecosystem's established mergekit-style merging technology; deepens the open-weights cluster (open-weights, PEFT, model-hub).
