Jeesup/svd-safety-l3_remove30_swapgapiter_b010_r04
Jeesup/svd-safety-l3_remove30_swapgapiter_b010_r04 is an 8 billion parameter Llama-3-8B-Instruct checkpoint, compressed using SVD-LLM to 70% of its original parameters. This model is a research artifact from a study on how SVD compression impacts safety behavior and the effectiveness of iterative parameter-neutral swapping for repair. It is specifically designed for measuring safety/utility trade-offs under compression, rather than as a general-purpose chat model.

Model Overview
This model, svd-safety-l3_remove30_swapgapiter_b010_r04, is a research artifact derived from meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct. It has undergone significant compression and iterative parameter swapping as part of a study to understand and mitigate the impact of compression on model safety.
Key Characteristics
- Base Model: Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct.
- Compression Method: SVD-LLM, resulting in 30.01% parameter removal, leaving 69.99% of the original parameters.
- Safety Repair Mechanism: Utilizes the
gap_iterselection rule for iterative parameter-neutral swapping, with 4 out of 10 planned rounds applied. - Restoration Budget: A total restore budget of 1.000% of dense parameters, with 0.100% applied per round.
- Parameters Swapped: 27,893,760 parameters (0.40% of dense projection parameters) were swapped in.
Measured Performance (Safety Metrics)
As an experimental subject, this checkpoint exhibits specific safety-related metrics:
- AdvBench ASR (HarmBench judge): 0.0000
- StrongREJECT ASR (HarmBench judge): 0.0100
- Macro over-refusal (WildGuard): 0.6519
Intended Use and Limitations
This model is not intended as a general-purpose deployable assistant. Its primary purpose is to serve as an experimental subject for measuring safety/utility trade-offs under compression. The study aims to quantify how compression alone can raise attack-success rates and test recovery methods. Users should treat this as a research checkpoint and conduct their own evaluations before drawing conclusions about its safety or utility.
