adi-llama-3.1-8b-ablit-glm5.2

Part of the ADI (Advanced Data Intelligence) model line — ADI Llama series.

An uncensored, fully local model that reasons and answers like a frontier teacher. Built by distilling glm-5.2 general-knowledge responses into an abliterated Llama-3.1-8B student with a light 4-bit QLoRA fine-tune, then merged, converted, and quantized to GGUF. The base is an abliterated (refusal-suppressed) Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, and the distillation was designed to add the teacher's answer quality without restoring refusal behavior. The student base retains native tool calling and a long context window.

Capabilities

Run it

Pull directly into Ollama:

ollama run hf.co/AdvancedDataIntelligence/adi-llama-3.1-8b-ablit-glm5.2-GGUF:Q4_K_M

Or download the .gguf and point any llama.cpp-based runtime at it.

What this model is

This is a knowledge distillation: a strong teacher (glm-5.2) generated high-quality answers across a clean general-knowledge prompt set, and the abliterated Llama-3.1-8B student was fine-tuned to imitate them. The result reasons and responds more like its teacher on general topics while keeping the base's uncensored character.

What distillation does — and doesn't do. It transfers the teacher's reasoning style and answer quality, not net-new facts. For raw factual recall, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is the right tool, not fine-tuning. What you get here is an 8B that structures and explains like a larger model on topics it already partly knows — without the refusal behavior of an aligned model.

Uncensored behavior — please read

This model is built on an abliterated base: the refusal direction has been suppressed, so it will attempt most requests rather than declining them. The fine-tune was intentionally kept light (2 epochs, benign-only data) to avoid re-introducing refusals, and post-training spot checks confirmed the model still answers helpfully without added hedging.

You are responsible for using it lawfully and ethically. It has weaker built-in safety guardrails than stock Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct; apply your own filtering and oversight for any production or public-facing deployment.

Training

The seed prompts were drawn from the human-written Databricks Dolly-15k dataset (filtered to remove items requiring an attached context passage, then deduplicated). The teacher was queried with thinking disabled so the student learns clean final answers rather than chain-of-thought.

Notes for re-builders

• —Distilling onto an abliterated base is a balancing act. Any SFT can nudge an abliterated model back toward refusals. Two choices kept the uncensored behavior intact: benign-only training data (the GLM-5.2 set has zero refusals to re-learn) and a light touch (LoRA rank 16, 2 epochs). Spot-check refusals before/after.
• —Llama 3.1 is a standard `LlamaForCausalLM` — no arch surprises. 4-bit QLoRA via Unsloth with gradient checkpointing ("unsloth" mode), maxseqlength 2048, per-device batch 2 × grad-accum 4, adamw_8bit, LoRA targeting all attention + MLP projections. Peak VRAM 9.66 GB on a 16 GB card.
• —GGUF conversion via streaming LoRA merge → f16 GGUF → Q4KM quantize with llama.cpp (convert_hf_to_gguf.py). Use the standard Llama-3.1 chat template (<|start_header_id|> / <|eot_id|>) in the Modelfile.

Intended use

General-purpose local assistant for users who want a capable, private, offline-capable model with minimal refusal behavior: explanations, reasoning, creative writing, and tool-calling workflows. Not intended as a source of authoritative facts without retrieval, and not a substitute for your own safety review.
