Model Card for Na0s/Llama-3.1-8B-Pruned-4-Layers_LoRA-PEFT-3.0:

Model Details:

Model Description:

• Finetuned from model: Na0s/Llama-3.1-8B-Pruned-4-Layers_LoRA-PEFT-2.0 on teknium/openhermes.
• We pruned the 4 layers of meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B that had the less impact on the performance of the model according to the paper The Unreasonable Ineffectiveness of the Deeper Layers.
• We have therefore 1.09B parameters less than the foundation model, which means less memory needed, faster training and less latency during inference mode.
• We then recovered the performance loss induced by the pruning process by fine-tuning (from 0.2642 MMLU-Pro 0-shot to 0.3120), this step is called healing the pruned model.

Upcoming Work:

• More healing through SFT/DPO/TPO to see if we can get closer to the meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B performance (which has an MMLU-Pro 0-shot of 0.3659 vs 0.3120 for our model). (In Progress)
• Compare the same exact process when applied to meta-llama/LLama-3.1-70B.
