Model overview

anakin87 publishes yo-Llama-3-8B-Instruct as a text-generation model. Captured config identifies LlamaForCausalLM with a llama model type, and Safetensors metadata reports 8,030,261,248 parameters. Card data records a llama3 license. According to the model card, the model is based on Llama-3-8B-Instruct weights, inspired by Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule, and was produced by amplifying a rap direction in activation space.

Recorded capabilities

About 8.03B parameters

Safetensors metadata reports 8,030,261,248 parameters, or about 8.03B.

llama3 licensing

Captured metadata records a llama3 license.

Publisher rap-steering method

The model card says the model was not fine-tuned traditionally. Instead the publisher describes identifying and amplifying a rap direction in the activation space, using Alpaca examples and a rapper system prompt.

Serious-use disclaimer

The publisher states they do not recommend using this model for any serious task.

Use cases in the source record

  • Transformers text-generation experiments following the card's pipeline example.
  • Rap-style conversational generation as described by the publisher, noting the card's warning against serious-task use.

Limitations and unknowns

  • No evaluation scores were extracted from this record.
  • Provider state is historical snapshot data, not independently refreshed current availability.
  • Rap steering, Alpaca example counts, activation-space method, and the serious-use warning come from the publisher model card and have not been independently verified by Ethen.

yo-Llama-3-8B-Instruct This model is based on Llama-3-8B-Instruct weights, but steered to respond with a rap style . Heavily inspired by Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule , this model has not been fine-tuned traditionally. Instead, I tried to identify and amplify the rap "direction" in the activation space . Let's allow the model to introduce itself: 🎤 Who are you? I'm just a small part of the game/ a language model with a lot of fame I'm trained on data, day and night/ to spit out rhymes and make it right I'm a bot, a robot, a machine so fine/ I'm here to serve, but don't you get too divine I'll answer questions, and spit out some flo…
