# Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-abliterated_via_adapter

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

A LoRA was applied to "abliterate" refusals in [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct). The result appears to work despite the LoRA having been derived from Llama 3 instead of Llama 3.1, which implies that there is significant feature commonality between the 3 and 3.1 models.

The LoRA was extracted from [failspy/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3](https://huggingface.co/failspy/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3) and uses [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) as a base.

Built with Llama.
