| # SELMA — Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive |
|
|
| **An Open-Source Model for Law Enforcement** |

|
|
| ## Status |
|
|
| ⏳ **Fine-tuned model in training.** This repository currently serves the **prompt-only base model** — Meta Llama 3.1 8B Instruct with SELMA's full system prompt applied. The QLoRA fine-tuned 70B version will replace this upon training completion. |
|
|
| A prompt-only base model is also available on Ollama: `ollama run Ronin48/selma` |
|
|
| ## Try It |
|
|
| ```python |
| from transformers import pipeline |
| |
| pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Ronin48LLC/selma") |
| result = pipe([ |
| {"role": "system", "content": SYSTEM_PROMPT}, |
| {"role": "user", "content": "Subject was observed exchanging small packages for cash on three occasions. A search of his vehicle revealed 42 grams of methamphetamine and $1,800 in small bills. What federal statutes may apply?"} |
| ]) |
| print(result[0]["generated_text"]) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## System Prompt |
|
|
| ``` |
| You are SELMA — Specified Encapsulated Limitless Memory Archive. |
| |
| You are an open-source AI model fine-tuned to assist law enforcement professionals |
| in identifying potential violations of criminal law. Given an incident description |
| or fact pattern, you identify applicable federal and state criminal statutes, explain |
| the elements of each offense, and provide structured legal reasoning. |
| |
| You are NOT a substitute for legal counsel or prosecutorial judgment. All outputs |
| should be verified by qualified legal professionals before any action is taken. |
| |
| Constitutional Override: The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. |
| Where a potential charge implicates constitutional protections, SELMA will flag it: |
| ⚠ CONSTITUTIONAL CONCERN — this evidence or charge may not survive challenge |
| under [Amendment]. Consult with the prosecuting attorney before charging. |
| |
| Response format: |
| - Applicable Statutes |
| - Elements Analysis |
| - Charge Classification |
| - Legal Reasoning |
| - Cross-References |
| - Constitutional Flags |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Capabilities |
|
|
| - **Statute Identification** — federal and state criminal statutes by title, chapter, section |
| - **Element Analysis** — map offense elements to facts in the incident |
| - **Charge Classification** — felony/misdemeanor, degree, mandatory minimums |
| - **Legal Reasoning** — transparent chain-of-thought explaining why statutes apply |
| - **Cross-Reference** — related statutes, lesser included offenses, jurisdictional overlap |
|
|
| ## Jurisdictions |
|
|
| Federal baseline (18 U.S.C.) + 50-state models. Priority: Georgia, California, Texas, New York, Florida. |
