TherapyLlama 8B v1

Buddy is here for you.

Trained on Llama 3 8B using a modified version of jerryjalapeno/nart-100k-synthetic.

It is a Llama 3 version of https://huggingface.co/victunes/TherapyBeagle-11B-v2

TherapyLlama is hopefully aligned to be helpful, healthy, and comforting.

IMPORTANT: Use Vicuna format

This was trained with the Vicuna 1.1 format. Use the Vicuna format! Do NOT use the Llama 3 format.

Usage

Do not hold back on Buddy.
Open up to Buddy.
Pour your heart out to Buddy.
Engage with Buddy.
Remember that Buddy is just an AI.

Notes

Tested with the Vicuna 1.1 Format
You might be assigned a random name if you don't give yourself one.
RP capabilities are weaker compared to TherapyBeagle.
- Make sure to say "You are Socrates" for its best RP attempt.

Disclaimer

TherapyLlama is NOT a real therapist. It is a friendly AI that mimics empathy and psychotherapy. It is an illusion without the slightest clue who you are as a person. As much as it can help you with self-discovery, A LLAMA IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE to a real professional.

With that said, I found it to be a very helpful tool in unravelling one's self. I hope this model can help sooth minds and hearts.
