Mostly a proof of concept, but outputs are better than expected. It'd likely be quite good with some instruction tuning.
Why do this? I have a niche use case where I cannot increase compute over 8b, and L3/3.1 are the only models in this size category that meet my needs for logic. However, both versions of L3/3.1 have the damn repetition/token overconfidence problem, and this is meant to disrupt that certainty without disrupting the model's ability to function.
By the way, I think it's the lm_head that is causing the looping, but it might be the embeddings being too separated. I'm not going to pay two more times to test them separately, however :p
