## Model Details

We have developed and released the family [llama3s](https://huggingface.co/collections/homebrew-research/llama3-s-669df2139f0576abc6eb7405). This family is natively understanding audio and text input.

We continual pretrain on the expanded vocabulary [homebrewltd/llama3.1-s-whispervq-init](https://huggingface.co/homebrewltd/llama3.1-s-whispervq-init) with 900M tokens from [homebrewltd/raw-speech-whispervq-v1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/homebrewltd/raw-speech-whispervq-v1) dataset.

**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 llama3-s in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations is strictly prohibited.
