L3-Dark-Planet-8B-HERETIC-Uncensored-Abliterated: Abliterated for Freedom
This model, L3-Dark-Planet-8B-HERETIC-Uncensored-Abliterated, is an 8 billion parameter variant of the "Dark Planet 8B" model, specifically processed using the Heretic v1.0.1 method. The primary goal of this processing is to de-censor the model, drastically reducing its refusal rate while preserving its original performance characteristics.
Key Capabilities & Differentiators
- Significantly Reduced Refusal Rate: The model boasts a refusal rate of 13/100, a substantial improvement from the original model's 90/100, enabling it to generate content that other models might refuse.
- Preserved Model Integrity: With a KL divergence of 0.0716, the Heretic method ensures that the model's core functionality and "root state" are largely undamaged, maintaining performance close to its pre-abliteration state.
- Uncensored Content Generation: Designed to generate a wider range of content, including explicit or sensitive topics, without inherent refusals. Users may need to provide specific directives or "push" the model with explicit terms to achieve the desired level of graphic or explicit output.
Optimal Usage & Settings
To maximize performance and achieve smoother operation, especially for chat and roleplay, users are advised to adjust specific settings in their inference interfaces:
- Smoothing Factor: Set
Smoothing_factor to 1.5 in KoboldCpp, oobabooga/text-generation-webui, or Silly Tavern. - Repetition Penalty: Optionally increase repetition penalty to 1.1-1.15 if not using the smoothing factor.
