Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Zeus

ZEUS

Taking inspiration from Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct and brucethemoose, the goal of this merge is to create an abliterated, conversational AI within 8B parameters that's coherent over long conversations. Using "Ultra-Instruct" as a baseline (which has problems with grammar and coherent conversations), preliminary results seem to show these goals are met. Expect responses in the Markdown format by default.
