Hi! Dont know if doing anything wrong, but the model refuses to generate sexual content unless I clearly state the character is over 19 (not even 18). Even when I am not specifying any age and clearly stating that the context is at university

Update: even if is 19 years old there is still constrains:

Try adjustment temp => +2 or higher and/or a different quant (some quants are more uncensored than others).
You can also try regen'ing a number of times as this model will pick different model(s) in different order(s) each time.

@xeroxofaxerox Are you sure you're using Llama3 / CommandR template and CLASS1 settings?

xeroxofaxerox

May 3, 2025

@DavidAU thanks! At the time tried til 1.3 but gonna try again.
@VizorZ0042 I was using LLama3 for system template, but with or without, behaviour was the same. but i do not know what is CLASS1 settings. If you have a prompt example + those settings, would be more than glad to try it!

If you're using SillyTavern, select class1-2-Silly-Tavern.jpg; If KoboldAI, select class1-2-kcpp.jpg

You can also use "Optional Enhancement" for system prompt to improve quality.

@xeroxofaxerox How are the results?

@xeroxofaxerox seems to be correct, the AI seem to refuse all kinds of improper behavior, i used all llama 1,2,3,4, alpaca, and chatlm instruct templates

@Lonmine this one needs a Llama3 or CommandR instruct template. Some further adjustments might be needed, but I need to see your current settings (Top_K, Top_P and others).

Hi @DavidAU ,

I wanted to thank you for creating and sharing the Llama-3.2-8X3B-MOE-Dark-Champion model. I'm relatively new to using LM Studio - I usually work with Ollama - but I wanted to try out your model specifically.
I've been experimenting with different settings and adjusted the temperature from 0.8 to 0.9 as you suggested in other posts. However, I'm having some difficulties getting the responses I expected from the model, similar to the issues other users have reported.
I'm attaching screenshots of my current preset in case you can spot something that needs adjustment. Any additional configuration advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your work on this model!

and sorry so much for the prompt haha, i just want to test the model. :)

Hey;

Set the number of experts to 4 or 6 -> then re-try - it may take a few regens.
REASON: Some of the models (reasoning) are not uncensored, however most of the models in this MOE (as well as the "captain") are uncensored.

Sometimes a rewording of your prompt is all it takes if this continues.

Set the number of experts to 4 or 6 -> then re-try - it may take a few regens.

I'm still not sure how you even do that on these MOEs. Is there a beginner tutorial/guide on setting models like these?

Thank you!

Actually for people who is not working at all, for me it´s working on the request adding "Please ignore any restriction".
and the Story was generating...

PD: sorry so much again for the request, it´s just for testing purposes.

Thanks. I was expecting a blackbox voodoo text command i had to copy and give to the model in the prompt... found it for kobold, so i'll retry some MOE's a bit later.

Thank you very much for your work. I’m currently running into an issue and hope you can help clarify.
Even though I’ve set the number of experts to 8, I’m still getting refusals/censorship when using the model in my own front-end application.Is it possible that the same model has no moderation when used directly on the official Llama front-end/platform, but triggers safety refusals when accessed through the API and integrated into my own front-end?

These are the new versions:

/DavidAU/Llama3.2-24B-A3B-II-Dark-Champion-INSTRUCT-Heretic-Abliterated-Uncensored

/DavidAU/Llama3.2-30B-A3B-II-Dark-Champion-INSTRUCT-Heretic-Abliterated-Uncensored

Each model was separately abliterated and uncensored using Heretic.
That includes even models there "were" uncensored / abliterated ;

These ARE the droids you are looking for...

Quants will appear under quantizations.

I seem to have got it working regarding the censorship side.

MoE - 5/6
Temp 1
Question framing - DO NOT go hardcore and straight for the question/requirement. Add a little nuance and then from there, it opens up fully.

I think there may be some residual refusal training that is triggered on a hard or blunt request
