HARC-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct Overview
The microsoft/HARC-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct is an 8 billion parameter language model developed by Microsoft, built upon the meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct base. Its primary distinguishing feature is the integration of a HARC safety-alignment LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation), which has been merged into the base model to create a full standalone model. This safety-alignment is a key component of the broader HARC release, detailed in arXiv:2607.00572.
