# Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-abliterated_via_adapter-GGUF

This repo contains select GGUF quants of a model that 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.

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [task arithmetic](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04089) merge method using [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) + [grimjim/Llama-3-Instruct-abliteration-LoRA-8B](https://huggingface.co/grimjim/Llama-3-Instruct-abliteration-LoRA-8B) as a base.
