Llama3-merge-biomed-8b
This is a DARE-TIES Merge of Llama3-8b-Instruct + NousResearch/Hermes-2-Pro-Llama-3-8B + aaditya/Llama3-OpenBioLLM-8B. It is a simple experiment to assess whether combining models with strengths in general language understanding and biomedical knowledge can enhance performance on specialized tasks without compromising general applicability. The results indicate promising outcomes in areas like HendrycksTest tasks related to Biology and Medicine, as well as improvements in complex reasoning as seen in the ARC Challenge and Winogrande benchmarks.
Usage
