Aura-llama-3

Now that the cute anime girl has your attention.

UPDATE: Model has been fixed

Aura-llama is using the methodology presented by SOLAR for scaling LLMs called depth up-scaling (DUS), which encompasses architectural modifications with continued pretraining. Using the solar paper as a base, I integrated Llama-3 weights into the upscaled layers, and In the future plan to continue training the model.

Aura-llama is a merge of the following models to create a base model to work from:

• meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
• meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
