Llama3.1-8B-drill

• This is a merge of some highest scoring Llama 3.1 8B models on the IFEval task on the Open LLM Leaderboard.
• The purpose is to create a model that can follow instructions well.
• It's not meant to be a particularly smart, stylish, or uncensored model.

Update: This turned out to be a mediocre model compared to its parents at even the IFEval task. Consider those models instead. 😕
