# 🪽 Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-lorablated

This is an uncensored version of [NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B) using lorablation.
The recipe is simple:

1. **Extraction**: We extract a LoRA adapter by comparing two models: a censored Llama 3.1 ([meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct)) and an abliterated Llama 3.1 ([mlabonne/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-abliterated](https://huggingface.co/mlabonne/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-abliterated)).
2. **Merge**: We merge this new LoRA adapter using [task arithmetic](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04089) to the censored [NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B) to abliterate it.

See [this article](https://huggingface.co/blog/mlabonne/abliteration) to learn more about abliteration.

## 🧩 Configuration

This model was merged using the [task arithmetic](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04089) merge method using [NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B) + Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-abliterated-LORA as a base.

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:

```yaml
