+# Ministral 3 8B Base Llamafied TextOnly
+
+This is Mistral's Ministral 3 8B Base model with the vision encoder removed and converted to the Llama format. The model may be slightly different due to conversion but should be largely identical (besides the removal of the vision encoder).
+
+The main benefits of Llama-converted models:
+
+- Easier to train: compatible with all trainers that support the Llama model
+- Increased compatibility: works out-of-the-box with popular libraries, no need to install Transformers from source, works even on older versions
+
+This model, like the original model, is licensed under the **Apache 2.0** license.
