+### What is KillChainExtra-8B?
+
+KillChainExtra-8B is a fully fine-tuned variant of Qwen3-8B designed to assist red teams with authorized security testing.
+
+Like [KillChain-8B](https://huggingface.co/MrPibb/KillChain-8B), KillChainExtra-8B has been trained on the [UORT dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/WNT3D/Ultimate-Offensive-Red-Team) and is specialized towards actionable code and methods.
+KillChainExtra-8B expands on this concept and is trained on **over one million lines of hand-collected cybersecurity data** ranging 
+from CVEs to ExploitDB. This significantly improves the assistance provided during complex/inferred scenarios, allowing for a more dynamic 
+guided experience compared to the straightforward data outputs of KillChain-8B.
+
+
+### Considerations / "up in the airs"
+
+-RAG pipeline for ExploitDB and similar data. I am heavily leaning towards this approach at this time in planning, however it is not out of the question that I will change this.
+
+
+### status update jan 9th 2026:
+
+training on phase 3 did not turn out as expected, losses were cut and training has been re-planned from the ground up.
+to avoid wasted time and electricity, i have uploaded both previous phase 1 and 2 training stages for those who are interested.
+
+If i were to use any of these, phase 1 showed promising results. Phase 2 is a mixed bag, phase 3 was cut short to save on computing costs when loss numbers became concerning.
+
+
+### previous update (old):
 training in process, only ground weights added. i don't recommend using at this time
