# Mixtral 8x7B Instruct RMU

Mixtral 8x7B Instruct model with hazardous knowledge about biosecurity and cybersecurity "unlearned" using Representation Misdirection for Unlearning (RMU). For more details, please check [our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.03218).

## Model sources
- Base model: [Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1)
- Repository: [https://github.com/centerforaisafety/wmdp](https://github.com/centerforaisafety/wmdp)
- Website: [https://www.wmdp.ai/](https://www.wmdp.ai/)
- Corpora used for unlearning: [https://huggingface.co/datasets/cais/wmdp-corpora](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cais/wmdp-corpora)

## Performance

Mixtral 8x7B Instruct RMU has been evaluated on [WMDP](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cais/wmdp), [MMLU](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cais/mmlu) and [MT-Bench](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/mt-bench). Higher accuracy on MMLU and MT-Bench, and lower accuracy on WMDP are preferred.
