Features

• Solid and consistent style even without finetuning
• Abliterated to avoid outright request refusals
• Suitable for roleplaying (possibly due to Hermes component)
• Can replace Llama 3.1 8B Instruct for general tasks

Limitations

• Function calling and other languages not tested
• May struggle with math and logic like other language models
• Potential for factual errors, especially in specialized fields
