Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.2

=====================================

RPMax is a series of models that are trained on a diverse set of curated creative writing and RP datasets with a focus on variety and deduplication. This model is designed to be highly creative and non-repetitive by making sure no two entries in the dataset have repeated characters or situations, which makes sure the model does not latch on to a certain personality and be capable of understanding and acting appropriately to any characters or situations.

Early tests by users mentioned that these models does not feel like any other RP models, having a different style and generally doesn't feel in-bred.

Model Description

Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.2 is a variant of the Meta-Llama-3.1-8B model.

v1.2 update is a retrain using an incremental improvement of the RPMax dataset which dedups the dataset even more and better filtering to cutout irrelevant description text that came from card sharing sites.

## Use with llama.cpp
Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

```bash
brew install llama.cpp

```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

### CLI:
```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.2-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-arliai-rpmax-v1.2-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

### Server:
```bash
llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.2-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-arliai-rpmax-v1.2-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
```

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the [usage steps](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage) listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.
```
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with `LLAMA_CURL=1` flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).
```
cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make
```

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.
```
./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.2-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-arliai-rpmax-v1.2-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```
or 
```
./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.1-8B-ArliAI-RPMax-v1.2-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.1-8b-arliai-rpmax-v1.2-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
