# Llama-3.2-Instruct-3B-TIES

## Overview
The Llama-3.2-Instruct-3B-TIES model is a result of merging three versions of Llama-3.2-3B models using the TIES merging method, facilitated by [mergekit](https://github.com/cg123/mergekit). This merge combines a base general-purpose language model with two instruction-tuned models to create a more powerful and versatile model capable of handling diverse tasks.
