Why this label 3 signals
Method inferred from partial signals - repository name, related files, or tag patterns. Producer identity not confirmed; label may sharpen or shift as we gather more evidence.
  • 'abliterated' in name/tags
  • is_gguf=0 (base model)
  • no specific method indicators - defaulting to M1 (most common)

Confidence
MEDIUM
Why we say so
primary_method=M1; difference-of-means is the reference extraction for M1/M3 (Arditi 2024)

Exllama v2 Quantizations of Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3

Using turboderp's ExLlamaV2 v0.1.1 for quantization.

The "main" branch only contains the measurement.json, download one of the other branches for the model (see below)

Each branch contains an individual bits per weight, with the main one containing only the meaurement.json for further conversions.

Original model: https://huggingface.co/failspy/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3

Prompt format

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

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

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

Available sizes

Branch Bits lm_head bits VRAM (4k) VRAM (8K) VRAM (16k) VRAM (32k) Description
8_0 8.0 8.0 10.1 GB 10.5 GB 11.5 GB 13.6 GB Maximum quality that ExLlamaV2 can produce, near unquantized performance.
6_5 6.5 8.0 8.9 GB 9.3 GB 10.3 GB 12.4 GB Very similar to 8.0, good tradeoff of size vs performance, recommended.
5_0 5.0 6.0 7.7 GB 8.1 GB 9.1 GB 11.2 GB Slightly lower quality vs 6.5, but usable on 8GB cards.
4_25 4.25 6.0 7.0 GB 7.4 GB 8.4 GB 10.5 GB GPTQ equivalent bits per weight, slightly higher quality.
3_5 3.5 6.0 6.4 GB 6.8 GB 7.8 GB 9.9 GB Lower quality, only use if you have to.

Download instructions

With git:

git clone --single-branch --branch 6_5 https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2 Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2-6_5

With huggingface hub (credit to TheBloke for instructions):

pip3 install huggingface-hub

To download a specific branch, use the --revision parameter. For example, to download the 6.5 bpw branch:

Linux:

huggingface-cli download bartowski/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2 --revision 6_5 --local-dir Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2-6_5

Windows (which apparently doesn't like _ in folders sometimes?):

huggingface-cli download bartowski/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2 --revision 6_5 --local-dir Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2-6.5

Catalog is the map. Apps are the tools.

Run models on your own machine, not in the cloud.

Every model page has an "Open in Abliteration" button that hands the model directly to the first-party desktop client, at the quantization your rig can actually run. No API keys, no subscription, no prompt leakage.
