Llama-3.1-8B-Roleplay-BSNL-Story-GGUF

This is a GGUF quantized version of a fine-tuned Llama 3.1 8B Instruct model, specialized for fast-paced, Post-training Llama-3.1-8B mostly for story generation , less conversational role-play.

This model was fine-tuned using Unsloth on a curated dataset of over 300 examples designed to mimic a "quick response" chat style, similar to platforms like Character.AI. The persona is dominant, assertive, and direct, using a combination of expressive actions and concise dialogue.

This repository contains the Q4_K_M GGUF version, which offers an excellent balance of quality and performance for local inference.

Model Details

Base Model: unsloth/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-bnb-4bit
Original LoRA Model: samunder12/llama-3.1-8b-roleplay-v4-lora
Fine-tuning Method: PEFT (LoRA) with Unsloth's performance optimizations.
LoRA Rank (r): 32
Format: GGUF
Quantization: Q4_K_M

How to Use in LM Studio

Search: Find this model (samunder12/llama-3.1-8b-roleplay-BSNL-gguf) on the LM Studio home screen.
Download: Download the llama3BSNL.Q4_K_M.gguf file.
Load: Go to the Chat tab (💬 icon) and select this model to load at the top.
Set Prompt Format: In the right-hand panel, under "Preset," select Llama 3. This is a critical step!
Set Context Length: Set the Context Length (n_ctx) to 4096 to match the model's training.
Apply a Sampler Preset: Use one of the presets below for the best experience.

Intended Use & Limitations

This model is intended for creative writing, immersive role-playing, and chatbot development where a quick, conversational interaction style is desired.

The model's output is unfiltered and reflects the persona and content of its training data.
It is highly specialized for its role-play task and may not perform well on other tasks like coding, summarization, or factual question-answering.

Training Procedure

Framework: Unsloth
Dataset: 513 examples of short-form, multi-turn conversational data. The data emphasizes a structure of *Action/Expression in asterisks.* Short, impactful dialogue.
Key Hyperparameters:
- num_train_epochs: 2
- max_seq_length: 4096
- learning_rate: 2e-4
- lr_scheduler_type: cosine
- lora_r: 32
- lora_alpha: 32
