# 🚀 RunAsh-Chat: A LibreChat-Inspired Open-Source Conversational AI

![RunAsh-Chat Logo](https://huggingface.co/datasets/runash-ai/logo/resolve/main/runash-chat-logo.png)  
*Built for freedom, powered by openness.*

> *“LibreChat, but better — faster, smarter, and fully yours.”*

---

## Model Description

**RunAsh-Chat** is an open-source, instruction-tuned large language model designed to replicate and enhance the conversational capabilities of the popular [LibreChat](https://github.com/LibreChat/LibreChat) ecosystem — while introducing improved reasoning, safety, and multi-turn dialogue handling.

Built upon the **Mistral-7B** or **Llama-3-8B** base architecture (depending on variant), RunAsh-Chat is fine-tuned on a curated dataset of high-quality, human-aligned conversations, code assistance prompts, and ethical safety filters. It is optimized for use in self-hosted AI chat interfaces like LibreChat, Ollama, Text Generation WebUI, and local LLM APIs.

Unlike many closed or commercial alternatives, **RunAsh-Chat is 100% free to use, modify, and deploy** — even commercially — under the Apache 2.0 license.

### Key Features

✅ **LibreChat-Ready**: Seamless drop-in replacement for models used in LibreChat deployments  
✅ **Multi-Turn Context**: Excellent memory of conversation history (up to 8K tokens)  
✅ **Code & Math Ready**: Strong performance on programming, logic, and quantitative reasoning  
✅ **Safety-Enhanced**: Built-in moderation to avoid harmful, biased, or toxic outputs  
✅ **Lightweight & Fast**: Optimized for CPU/GPU inference with GGUF, AWQ, and GPTQ support  
✅ **Multilingual**: Supports English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and more

## Usage Examples

### Using with Hugging Face `transformers`

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_name = "runash-ai/RunAsh-Chat-v1.0-Mistral-7B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are RunAsh-Chat, a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms."}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=512, temperature=0.7, do_sample=True)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

print(response)
```

### Using with Ollama

```bash
ollama pull runash-chat:7b
ollama run runash-chat "What's the capital of Canada?"
```

### Using with LibreChat

1. Download the GGUF model file (e.g., `RunAsh-Chat-v1.0-Mistral-7B.Q4_K_M.gguf`)
2. Place it in your `models/` folder
3. In `config.yml`:
   ```yaml
   model: "RunAsh-Chat-v1.0-Mistral-7B"
   provider: "ollama"  # or "local"
   ```

## Training Data & Fine-Tuning

RunAsh-Chat was fine-tuned using a hybrid dataset including:

- **Alpaca** and **Alpaca-CoT** datasets
- **OpenAssistant** conversations
- **Self-instruct** and **Dolly** data
- **Human-curated chat logs** from open-source AI communities
- **Ethical filtering**: Removed toxic, biased, or harmful examples using rule-based and model-based moderation

Fine-tuning was performed using **LoRA** with **QLoRA** for memory efficiency, on 4× A100 40GB GPUs over 3 epochs.

## Limitations & Ethical Considerations

⚠️ **Not a replacement for human judgment** — always validate outputs for critical applications.  
⚠️ **May hallucinate** facts, especially in niche domains — verify with trusted sources.  
⚠️ **Bias mitigation is ongoing** — while trained for fairness, residual biases may persist.  
⚠️ **Not designed for medical/legal advice** — consult professionals.  

RunAsh-Chat is **not** a general-purpose AI agent. It is intended for **educational, personal, and non-commercial research use** — though commercial use is permitted under Apache 2.0.

## License

This model is released under the **Apache License 2.0** — the same as Mistral and Llama 3. You are free to:

- Use it commercially
