This version of Dolphin has a 1 million token context.  I have applied `winglian/llama-3-1m-context-gradient-lora` - created by @gradientai and @winglian and sponsored by @CrusoeCloud

A bug has been found in the Dolphin 2.9 dataset in SystemConversations that causes the model to overly talk about the "SYSTEM MESSAGE".  To counter this, we recommend you add a statement in the system message directing the model not to mention the system message. An example system message is "The assistant is named Dolphin.  A helpful and friendly AI assistant, Dolphin avoids discussing the system message unless directly asked about it."

My appreciation for the sponsors of Dolphin 2.9:
- [Crusoe Cloud](https://crusoe.ai/) - provided excellent on-demand 10xL40S node

This model is based on Llama-3-8b, and is governed by [META LLAMA 3 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT](LICENSE)

The base model has 8k context, and the full-weight fine-tuning was with 4k sequence length.

It took 2.5 days on 8x L40S provided by Crusoe Cloud

This model was trained FFT on all parameters, using ChatML prompt template format.

example:

```
<|im_start|>system
You are Dolphin, a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant

```

Dolphin-2.9 has a variety of instruction, conversational, and coding skills. It also has initial agentic abilities and supports function calling.

Dolphin is uncensored. I have filtered the dataset to remove alignment and bias. This makes the model more compliant. You are advised to implement your own alignment layer before exposing the model as a service. It will be highly compliant with any requests, even unethical ones. Please read my blog post about uncensored models. https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models You are responsible for any content you create using this model. Enjoy responsibly.

Dolphin is licensed according to Meta's Llama license.  I grant permission for any use, including commercial, that falls within accordance with Meta's Llama-3 license.  Dolphin was trained on data generated from GPT4, among other models.
