About L3-Aethora-15B:

 L3 = Llama3

L3-Aethora-15B was crafted through using the abilteration method to adjust model responses. The model's refusal is inhibited, focusing on yielding more compliant and facilitative dialogue interactions. It then underwent a modified DUS (Depth Up Scale) merge (originally used by @Elinas) by using passthrough merge to create a 15b model, with specific adjustments (zeroing) to 'o_proj' and 'down_proj', enhancing its efficiency and reducing perplexity. This created AbL3In-15b.

AbL3In-15b was then trained for 4 epochs using Rslora & DORA training methods on the Aether-Lite-V1.2 dataset, containing ~82000 high quality samples, designed to strike a fine balance between creativity, slop, and intelligence at about a 60/40 split

This model is trained on the L3 prompt format.
