## Model Details

We have developed and released the family [llama3-s](https://huggingface.co/collections/homebrewltd/llama3-s-669df2139f0576abc6eb7405). This family is natively understanding audio and text input.

We continue to expand [Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) with sound understanding capabilities.

This is the initial checkpoint with average weight initialization applied only to new vocabulary.


**Model developers** Homebrew Research.

**Input** Text and sound.

**Output** Text.

**Model Architecture** Llama-3.

**Language(s):** English.

## Intended Use

**Intended Use Cases** This family is primarily intended for research applications. This version aims to further improve the LLM on sound understanding capabilities.

**Out-of-scope** The use of Jan-Llama3-Sound in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations is strictly prohibited.
