Llama-Spark is a powerful conversational AI model developed by Arcee.ai. It's built on the foundation of Llama-3.1-8B and merges the power of our Tome Dataset with Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, resulting in a remarkable conversationalist that punches well above its 8B parameter weight class.

Model Description

Llama-Spark is our commitment to consistently delivering the best-performing conversational AI in the 6-9B parameter range. As new base models become available, we'll continue to update and improve Spark to maintain its leadership position.

This model is a successor to our original Arcee-Spark, incorporating advancements and learnings from our ongoing research and development.

Intended Uses

Llama-Spark is intended for use in conversational AI applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and dialogue systems. It excels at engaging in natural and informative conversations.

Training Information

Llama-Spark is built upon the Llama-3.1-8B base model, fine-tuned using of the Tome Dataset and merged with Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct.
