# Cognitron-8B

Cognitron-8B is an experimental large language model (LLM) created by combining three pre-existing models: Llama-3-8B-Lexi-Uncensored, Einstein-v6.1-Llama3-8B, and dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b. This combination aims to achieve a unique blend of capabilities:

* Uncensored Knowledge: By incorporating Llama-3-8B-Lexi-Uncensored, Cognitron-8B has access to a wider range of information without filtering.
* Enhanced Intelligence: The inclusion of Einstein-v6.1-Llama3-8B is intended to boost Cognitron-8B's reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
* Creative Fluency: The dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b component is designed to contribute creativity and unconventional thinking to Cognitron-8B's responses.

It is important to note that combining these models is an experiment, and the resulting performance is unknown.

Cognitron-8B is a merge of the following models using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit):


## Potential Biases and Limitations

Uncensored Content: Due to the inclusion of uncensored models, Cognitron-8B may generate outputs containing biases, hate speech, or offensive language.


## Importance of Uncensored Models

The inclusion of an uncensored model in Cognitron-8B reflects a growing interest in exploring the potential benefits of unfiltered information for LLMs. Here's why uncensored models are important:

* Comprehensiveness: Unrestricted access to information allows LLMs to capture a more complete picture of the world, even if it includes controversial or sensitive topics.
* Real-World Applicability: In situations where internet access is limited, uncensored LLMs could serve as a valuable source of unfiltered knowledge, allowing users to make informed decisions based on the available data.
