NeuralDaredevil-8B-abliterated

image/jpeg

This is a DPO fine-tune of mlabonne/Daredevil-8-abliterated, trained on one epoch of mlabonne/orpo-dpo-mix-40k.
The DPO fine-tuning successfully recovers the performance loss due to the abliteration process, making it an excellent uncensored model.

🔎 Applications

NeuralDaredevil-8B-abliterated performs better than the Instruct model on my tests.

You can use it for any application that doesn't require alignment, like role-playing. Tested on LM Studio using the "Llama 3" and "Llama 3 v2" presets.

⚡ Quantization

Thanks to QuantFactory, ZeroWw, Zoyd, solidrust, and tarruda for providing these quants.

💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "mlabonne/Daredevil-8B"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])

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.
