Epiculous/NovaSpark

Switching things up a bit since the last slew of models were all 12B, we now have NovaSpark! NovaSpark is an 8B model trained on GrimJim's abliterated version of arcee's SuperNova-lite. The hope is abliteration will remove some of the inherant refusals and censorship of the original model, however I noticed that finetuning on GrimJim's model undid some of the abliteration, therefore more than likely abiliteration will have to be reapplied to the resulting model to reinforce it.

Quants!

Prompting

This model is trained on llama instruct template, the prompting structure goes a little something like this:

<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

{system_prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

Context and Instruct

This model is trained on llama-instruct, please use that Context and Instruct template.
