# Topical Storm (8B) Uncensored
Topical issues in a sometimes stormy chat.
Topical Storm is a lightweight model focused on producing a natural chat session like those you might have with a friend via instant messenger or SMS.
It is argumentative and uncensored rather than behaving like a traditional "helpful AI assistant".
It will bring up topics for discussion and ask you follow-up questions.
## Key Features
- **Natural Conversation**: No flowery or overly formal "assistant-like" responses
- **Uncensored**: Based on an abliterated version of Llama-3.1, allowing for more open discussion
- **Topical**: Engages naturally with current events and controversial subjects
- **Authentic Expression**: Capable of casual language including profanity when appropriate
Topical storm has the following prestigious yet non-serious accreditations:
## Use Cases
- Casual conversation and companionship
- Debate and discussion of current events
- Role-playing scenarios requiring natural dialogue
- Testing content moderation systems
## Usage Notes
- This is an uncensored model that may generate strong language or discuss controversial topics
- Outputs should be treated as conversational and fictional expressions for entertainment rather than authoritative statements or facts
- Model responses are designed to feel natural and personal rather than formal or "safe"
## Limitations
- Designed to produce single line output like you'd see in a normal IM conversation
- Not intended for production deployment requiring content safeguards
- May express strong opinions on current events
- No guaranteed factual accuracy or consistency
- Should not be used where formal or professional tone is required
- Not suitable for romantic conversations
## Training
Based on huihui-ai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-abliterated and fine-tuned with custom datasets focused on:
- Natural conversational patterns
- Current events and social topics
- Authentic writing style including casual and coarse language
