💻 Usage
!pip install -qU transformers accelerate
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch
model = "cstr/llama3-discolm-orpo-t2"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",

EU AI Act Art. 53 — provider obligations
Added 2026-08-02 during an account-wide provenance review.
This is a model merge, not a format conversion. Most cstr/* repositories
are GGUF conversions, where the upstream research team remains the provider of
the model and the conversion changes only the numeric representation of the
weights. A merge produces a model that did not previously exist, so under
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 the maintainer of this repository is plausibly the
provider of it, and the duties that survive the Art. 53(2)
free-and-open-source exemption — Art. 53(1)(c) and 53(1)(d) — attach here rather
than upstream.
Art. 53(1)(c) — copyright policy. No training corpus was assembled by this repository. Merging combines weights that other providers already published; it performs no text or data mining, so no rights reservation under Art. 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 was engaged by this step. Copyright questions arising from how the constituent models were themselves trained attach to their respective providers. Any credible claim that this repository redistributes material it has no right to redistribute will be acted on — contact via the Community tab.
Art. 53(1)(d) — training content. No data was used to train this model: it is a weight-space combination of models trained by others, and its training content is theirs. All 2 constituent models this card names are still published, so the chain can be followed from here.
Licence — resolved 2026-08-02. llama3. All three constituents (Locutusque/Llama-3-Orca-1.0-8B, Locutusque/llama-3-neural-chat-v1-8b, DiscoResearch/Llama3_DiscoLM_German_8b_v0.1_experimental) are Llama-3 derivatives, and the Llama 3 Community Licence propagates.
This was derived from the mergekit configuration reproduced in this card by resolving each named constituent's licence on the Hub and taking the most restrictive, rather than assumed from the model family. An earlier revision of this section said the terms were unresolved; they are resolved now, and the method is recorded so the conclusion can be checked rather than trusted.
