🧠 ZeroXClem-Llama-3.1-8B-Athena-Apollo-exp

Overview

ZeroXClem-Llama-3.1-8B-Athena-Apollo-exp is a powerful AI model built through Model Stock merging using MergeKit. It merges several of the most capable and nuanced Llama-3.1-based models available on Hugging Face, optimized for performance across instruction-following, roleplay, logic, coding, and creative writing tasks.

By fusing diverse fine-tuned architectures into a cohesive blended model, this creation delivers excellent generalist abilities while retaining specialized strengths.

💡 Models Merged

The following models contribute to this powerful fusion:

rootxhacker/Apollo-exp-8B — A rich blend focused on alignment, DPO, and SFT instruction tuning across Llama-3.1 variants.
mergekit-community/L3.1-Athena-k-8B — Roleplay and safety-aligned merge based on Meta's Llama-3.1 foundation.
mergekit-community/L3.1-Athena-l2-8B — LoRA-enhanced with long-context and creative capability merges.
mergekit-community/L3.1-Athena-l-8B — Deeply infused with LoRA-based domain-specific models in logic, psychology, storytelling, and more.

✨ Features & Highlights

🔹 Instruction-Following Prowess — Merged from Tulu-aligned and instruct-tuned models like Apollo-exp and Athena-k for high-quality, context-aware responses.

🔹 Immersive Roleplay & Personality — Strong roleplay personas and emotional nuance thanks to Athena's diverse RP blends.

🔹 Creative & Structured Generation — Support for creative writing, long-context novelization, and formal logic modeling from l2/l3 integrations.

🔹 Depth in Dialogue — Enhanced ability to carry layered and philosophical conversation from Claude-style fine-tunes in Apollo-exp.

🎯 Use Cases

Conversational AI & Roleplay Bots
Formal Reasoning & Chain-of-Thought Tasks
Creative Writing & Storytelling Tools
Coding Assistants
Educational and Research Applications

🛠️ Usage Instructions

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "ZeroXClem/Llama-3.1-8B-Athena-Apollo-exp"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")

prompt = "Explain quantum entanglement like I'm 10 years old."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
