# Model Card for LLaMA 3.1 8B Instruct - Cybersecurity Fine-tuned

This model is a fine-tuned version of the LLaMA 3.1 8B Instruct model, specifically adapted for cybersecurity-related tasks.

## Model Details

### Model Description

This model is based on the LLaMA 3.1 8B Instruct model and has been fine-tuned on a custom dataset of cybersecurity-related questions and answers. It is designed to provide more accurate and relevant responses to queries in the cybersecurity domain.

- **Developed by:** [Your Name/Organization]
- **Model type:** Instruct-tuned Large Language Model
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English (primary), with potential for limited multilingual capabilities
- **License:** [Specify the license, likely related to the original LLaMA 3.1 license]
- **Finetuned from model:** meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

### Model Sources [optional]

- **Repository:** [Link to your Hugging Face repository]
- **Paper [optional]:** [If you've written a paper about this fine-tuning, link it here]
- **Demo [optional]:** [If you have a demo of the model, link it here]

## Uses

### Direct Use

This model can be used for a variety of cybersecurity-related tasks, including:
- Answering questions about cybersecurity concepts and practices
- Providing explanations of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities
- Assisting in the interpretation of security logs and indicators of compromise
- Offering guidance on best practices for cyber defense

### Out-of-Scope Use

This model should not be used for:
- Generating or assisting in the creation of malicious code
- Providing legal or professional security advice without expert oversight
- Making critical security decisions without human verification

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

- The model may reflect biases present in its training data and the original LLaMA 3.1 model.
- It may occasionally generate incorrect or inconsistent information, especially for very specific or novel cybersecurity topics.
- The model's knowledge is limited to its training data cutoff and does not include real-time threat intelligence.

### Recommendations

Users should verify critical information and consult with cybersecurity professionals for important decisions. The model should be used as an assistant tool, not as a replacement for expert knowledge or up-to-date threat intelligence.

## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the following code to get started with the model:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from peft import PeftModel, PeftConfig

# Load the model
model_name = "your-username/llama3-cybersecurity"
config = PeftConfig.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(config.base_model_name_or_path)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, model_name)

# Load the tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(config.base_model_name_or_path)

# Example usage
prompt = "What are some common indicators of a ransomware attack?"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
