Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4

This model has went through a multi-stage finetuning process.
```
- 1st, over a multi-turn Conversational-Instruct
- 2nd, over a Creative Writing / Roleplay along with some Creative-based Instruct Datasets.
- - Dataset consists of a mixture of Human and Claude Data.
```

Prompting Format:
```
- Use the L3 Instruct Formatting - Euryale 2.1 Preset Works Well
- Temperature + min_p as per usual, I recommend 1.4 Temp + 0.2 min_p.
- Has a different vibe to previous versions. Tinker around.
```

Changes since previous Stheno Datasets:
```
- Included Multi-turn Conversation-based Instruct Datasets to boost multi-turn coherency. # This is a seperate set, not the ones made by Kalomaze and Nopm, that are used in Magnum. They're completely different data.
- Replaced Single-Turn Instruct with Better Prompts and Answers by Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3 Opus.
- Removed c2 Samples -> Underway of re-filtering and masking to use with custom prefills. TBD
- Included 55% more Roleplaying Examples based of [Gryphe's](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Gryphe/Sonnet3.5-Charcard-Roleplay) Charcard RP Sets. Further filtered and cleaned on.
- Included 40% More Creative Writing Examples.
- Included Datasets Targeting System Prompt Adherence.
- Included Datasets targeting Reasoning / Spatial Awareness.
- Filtered for the usual errors, slop and stuff at the end. Some may have slipped through, but I removed nearly all of it.
```

Personal Opinions:
```
- Llama3.1 was more disappointing, in the Instruct Tune? It felt overbaked, atleast. Likely due to the DPO being done after their SFT Stage.
- Tuning on L3.1 base did not give good results, unlike when I tested with Nemo base. unfortunate.
- Still though, I think I did an okay job. It does feel a bit more distinctive.
- It took a lot of tinkering, like a LOT to wrangle this.
```

Below are some graphs and all for you to observe.

`Turn Distribution # 1 Turn is considered as 1 combined Human/GPT pair in a ShareGPT format. 4 Turns means 1 System Row + 8 Human/GPT rows in total.`

# DarqueDante/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4-Q6_K-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`Sao10K/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4`](https://huggingface.co/Sao10K/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/Sao10K/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4) for more details on the model.

## Use with llama.cpp
Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

```bash
brew install llama.cpp

```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

### CLI:
```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo DarqueDante/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-stheno-v3.4-q6_k.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

### Server:
```bash
llama-server --hf-repo DarqueDante/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-stheno-v3.4-q6_k.gguf -c 2048
```

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the [usage steps](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage) listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.
```
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with `LLAMA_CURL=1` flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).
```
cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make
```

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.
```
./llama-cli --hf-repo DarqueDante/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-stheno-v3.4-q6_k.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```
or 
```
./llama-server --hf-repo DarqueDante/Llama-3.1-8B-Stheno-v3.4-Q6_K-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-stheno-v3.4-q6_k.gguf -c 2048
```
