# merged_model

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

## Merge Details
### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [SLERP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slerp) merge method.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct)
