# Skyrim Fine-Tune for Meta Llama 3 8B Instruct
[<img src="https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1704/images/headers/98631_1692410778.jpg" width="1000"/>](https://art-from-the-machine.github.io/Mantella/)

GGUF models: [https://huggingface.co/art-from-the-machine/Mantella-Skyrim-Llama-3-8B-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/art-from-the-machine/Mantella-Skyrim-Llama-3-8B-GGUF)

## Introduction
This fine-tune of Meta's Llama 3 8B Instruct model is intended to be used as a custom-tailored model for the [Mantella Skyrim mod](https://art-from-the-machine.github.io/Mantella/).

## Dataset
An Alpaca-style dataset of 8,800+ player <-> NPC interactions has been used in this fine-tune. Details on this dataset can be found in the [Mantella LLM Fine-Tuning](https://github.com/art-from-the-machine/Mantella-LLM-Fine-Tuning) repo.

Example:

```json
{
    "instruction": "Generate dialogue in the style of Skyrim.",
    "input": "Where can I find fire salts?",
    "output": "A flame atronach's body might provide fire salt. They're dangerous creatures that can be summoned by wizards. Of course, it would be much easier to check with an alchemist. They occasionally have them for sale."
}
```

## Specifications
- **Developed by:** art-from-the-machine
- **License:** apache-2.0
- **Fine-tuned from model:** unsloth/llama-3-8b-Instruct-bnb-4bit
- **Context length:** 8,192

## Example Output
The fine-tuned [Mantella-Skyrim-Llama-3-8B-Q4_K_M.gguf](https://huggingface.co/art-from-the-machine/Mantella-Skyrim-Llama-3-8B-GGUF/blob/main/Mantella-Skyrim-Llama-3-8B-Q4_K_M.gguf) model has been tested in Mantella v0.11.2's debug mode, with the model running locally in koboldcpp. The character tested is Hulda. A list of questions are tested against both the fine-tuned model as well as an equivalent [Q4_K_M Llama 3 Instruct](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-GGUF/blob/main/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf) base model for comparison. For both models, Mantella's `max_response_sentences` setting has been set to 4.

If you're looking for something like that, you should try talking to the Greybeards. They're the ones who live in the mountains and meditate all day."

They're a reclusive bunch, but if you're willing to brave the wilderness, you might be able to learn something from them."
