## 🧩 Configuration

```yaml

slices:
  - sources:
    - model: gradientai/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Gradient-1048k
      layer_range: [0, 16]
  - sources:
    - model: failspy/Llama-3-8B-Instruct-MopeyMule
      layer_range: [8, 32]
merge_method: passthrough
tokenizer_source: union
dtype: float16
```

## 💻 Usage

```python
!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "powermove72/Llama-NextGen-8b"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])
```
