ArliAI-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Dolfin-v0.1

Based on Meta-Llama-3-8b-Instruct, and is governed by Meta Llama 3 License agreement: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct

We don't know how good this model is exactly in benchmarks since we have not benched this yet, but we think real prompts and usage is more telling anyways.

From our testing this model is:

• Less Refusals
• More Uncensored
• Follows requests better
• Can reply in requested formats better without adding unnecesary information

We are happy for anyone to try it out and give some feedback.

Training:

• 2048 sequence length, while the base model is 8192 sequence length. From testing it still performs the same 8192 context just fine.
• Trained on a modified and improved version of Cognitive Computations Eric Hartford's Dolphin dataset. https://huggingface.co/datasets/cognitivecomputations/dolphin
• Training duration is around 2 days on 2x RTX3090 on our own machine, using 4-bit loading and Qlora 64-rank 128-alpha resulting in ~2% trainable weights.

The goal for this model is to have the model less-censored and great at general tasks like the previous dolphin based models by Eric Hartford. We started training this BEFORE they launched their own full weight trained Llama-3-8B-Dolphin-2.9 with their own curated datasets and the newer "Dolphin 2.9" dataset, but we think this model is still a unique take on Llama 3 8B Instruct and the dolphin dataset. https://huggingface.co/cognitivecomputations/dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b

The difference with their dolphin 2.9 model is that we train this using Meta's new Llama 3 instruct format and not the regular ChatML format that Dolphin models are usually trained on. This is because we think that it performed better using the format it was originally trained on.

Instruct format:

<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

{{ system_prompt }}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{{ user_message_1 }}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

{{ model_answer_1 }}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{{ user_message_2 }}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
