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)

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

Information

This is a Exl2 quantized version of Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3

Please refer to the original creator for more information.

Calibration dataset: Exllamav2 default

Branches:

  • main: Measurement files
  • 4bpw: 4 bits per weight
  • 5bpw: 5 bits per weight
  • 6bpw: 6 bits per weight

Notes

  • 6bpw is recommended for the best quality to vram usage ratio (assuming you have enough vram).
  • Please ask for more bpws in the community tab if necessary.

Run in TabbyAPI

TabbyAPI is a pure exllamav2 FastAPI server developed by us. You can find TabbyAPI's source code here: https://github.com/theroyallab/TabbyAPI

If you don't have huggingface-cli, please run pip install huggingface_hub.

To run this model, follow these steps:

  1. Make a directory inside your models folder called L3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2

  2. Open a terminal inside your models folder

  3. Run huggingface-cli download royallab/L3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2 --revision 4bpw --local-dir L3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2

    1. The --revision flag corresponds to the branch name on the model repo. Please select the appropriate bpw branch for your system.
  4. Inside TabbyAPI's config.yml, set model_name to L3-8B-Instruct-abliterated-v3-exl2 or you can use the /model/load endpoint after launching.

  5. Launch TabbyAPI inside your python env by running python main.py

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.
