# llama-3-merge-virt-req-8B

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit).

In light testing (temperature=1.0, minP=0.02, provisional Llama 3 Instruct prompts), there appear to be occasional lapses in reasoning, but the model appears to follow formatting well overall.

Built with Meta Llama 3.
