Jeesup/svd-safety-l2_remove50_swapgap_b001 is a 7 billion parameter Llama-2-7b-chat checkpoint compressed using SVD-LLM, retaining 50.0% of its dense parameters. It features a 0.1% parameter budget for restored SVD components selected by the 'swapgap' rule, making it a research artifact for studying safety behavior under compression. This model is specifically designed for evaluating safety/utility trade-offs in compressed language models rather than general-purpose chat applications.

Model Overview

This model, svd-safety-l2_remove50_swapgap_b001, is a research artifact derived from meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf. It has been compressed using SVD-LLM, resulting in a reduction of 50.01% of its original parameters. A small budget of 0.1% of dense parameters was then used to restore SVD components selected by the swapgap rule, involving 669 components swapped out and restored.

Purpose and Limitations

This checkpoint is not intended as a general-purpose chat model. Its primary purpose is to serve as an experimental subject in a study quantifying how SVD compression impacts safety behavior and how different component-selection rules can repair it. The model's safety behavior is deliberately degraded relative to the base Llama-2-7b-chat due to compression, and users should evaluate it thoroughly before drawing conclusions.
