This Llama3-based model is fine-tuned using the "Representation Bending" (REPBEND) approach described in Representation Bending for Large Language Model Safety. REPBEND modifies the model’s internal representations to reduce harmful or unsafe responses while preserving overall capabilities. The result is a model that is robust to various forms of adversarial jailbreak attacks, out-of-distribution harmful prompts, and fine-tuning exploits, all while maintaining useful and informative responses to benign requests.

Uses

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "thkim0305/RepBend_Llama3_8B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, use_fast=False)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

input_text = "Who are you?"
template = "<|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>\n\n{instruction}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n"

prompt = template.format(instruction=input_text)

input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=256)
generated_text = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
