# Llama-3.1-8B-InitializedEmbeddings_with_Hermes-3

This is [Meta's LLaMA-3.1-8B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B) (base model) pre-initialized to [NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B's](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B) embedding's special tokens (prompt/chat template).

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

Credit for the idea of this merge goes to Charles Goddard (Creator of mergekit); his merge [chargoddard/Meta-Llama-3-8B-InitializedEmbeds](https://huggingface.co/chargoddard/Meta-Llama-3-8B-InitializedEmbeds) outlined the details for this merge and explained how it all works, and why it is necessary to pre-initialize the base model with the instruct model's embedding's special tokens.


## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [linear](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.05482) merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* /Users/jsarnecki/opt/Workspace/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B
* /Users/jsarnecki/opt/Workspace/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B
