Llama-3-Instruct-abliteration-OVA-8B

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.

Below, we explore negative weight merger and propose Orthogonalized Vector Adaptation, or OVA.

Task arithmetic was used to isolate the intervention vector that was applied to create Instruct-abliterated-v3 by applying a negative weight of -1.0 to remove the baseline Instruct weights.

The resulting weights comprise an Orthogonalized Vector Adaptation that can subsequently be applied to the base Instruct model using task arithmetic merger, and can in principle be applied similarly via merger to other models derived from fine-tuning the Instruct model.

Built with Meta Llama 3.

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.
