Does MT-Bench gen_model_answer.py accept adapter weights (adapter_config.json) file as model path?

Hi,

I have been passing the adapter weights path for the mistral 7b v0.3 model to gen_model_answer.py script as the model path. I obtained satisfactory results from it, but I wanted to be confirm if you guys merge the adapter weights yourself in the backend with the original base model?
