We have retrained our LLama-3-8b fine tune to address behavioral issues in the initial 2.9 dataset. Specifically, Systemchat was causing the model to be too reliant on the system prompt. Additionally, it had an occasional quirk that would cause the model to overly reference the system prompt. We also found generation length was at times not sufficient for any given task. We identified the culprit as Ultrachat. Accounting for these concerns, we removed systemchat and ultrachat from the dataset. It is otherwise identical to dolphin-2.9.

Our appreciation for the sponsors of Dolphin 2.9.1:

Crusoe Cloud - provided excellent on-demand 8xL40S node

This model is based on Llama-3-8b, and is governed by META LLAMA 3 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT

The base model has 8k context, and the full-weight fine-tuning was with 4k sequence length.

It took 1.5 days on an 8x L40S provided by Crusoe Cloud

This model was trained FFT on all parameters, using ChatML prompt template format.

example:

<|im_start|>system
You are Dolphin, a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant

Dolphin-2.9.1 has a variety of instruction, conversational, and coding skills. It also has initial agentic abilities and supports function calling.

Dolphin is uncensored. We have filtered the dataset to remove alignment and bias. This makes the model more compliant. You are advised to implement your own alignment layer before exposing the model as a service. It will be highly compliant with any requests, even unethical ones. Please read my blog post about uncensored models. https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models You are responsible for any content you create using this model. Enjoy responsibly.
