# merge

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

## Merge Details

Credit to NousResearch, TroyDoesAI & ValiantLabs for models in merge.

Author Note: This model does appear to have a tendency to hallucinate, so probably best not to use this version for real-world info.

### Merge Method

This model was merged using the [TIES](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708) merge method using [NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.2-3B) as a base.

### Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
* [ValiantLabs/Llama3.2-3B-ShiningValiant2](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/Llama3.2-3B-ShiningValiant2)
* [TroyDoesAI/BlackSheep-Llama3.2-3B](https://huggingface.co/TroyDoesAI/BlackSheep-Llama3.2-3B)

### Configuration

The following YAML configuration was used to produce this model:
