# llama-3-Nephilim-v1-8B-GGUF

This repo contains select GGUF quants of [grimjim/llama-3-Nephilim-v1-8B](https://huggingface.co/grimjim/llama-3-Nephilim-v1-8B).

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

Here we experiment with SLERP merger with the second model at very low weight (0.001) to modulate the output of the base model.

The base model was assembled to achieve high MMLU while avoiding refusals, while the additional model was trained specifically (apparently as a copilot) for offensive and defensive cybersecurity. Though neither model targeted roleplay as a use case, the resulting intelligence, acuity, and text generation of the merge is of interest. The merge is aggressively creative, within bounds.

Tested with temperature=1.0-1.2 and minP=0.01 along with a custom Instruct prompt geared toward reducing refusals during roleplay text generation without compromising overall model safety: [Llama 3 Instruct Direct](https://huggingface.co/debased-ai/SillyTavern-settings/tree/main/advanced_formatting/instruct_mode).

Care should be taken when using this model, as it is possible that harmful outputs could be generated. Given that this model is derivative, responsible use is further mandated by the WhiteRabbitNeo Usage Restrictions Extension to the Llama-3 License. This model is further subject to CC-BY-NC-4.0 by default, meaning that commercial use is restricted, barring an alternative licensing agreement.

Built with Meta Llama 3.
