Identity statement

Meta: Llama 3.1 8B Instruct is Meta's model. Its measured tokenizer sits with the Llama3 group, which is evidence that it builds on the Llama3 tokenizer. Tokenizer reuse is normal engineering, open vocabularies travel between labs, and this says nothing against Meta's authorship of the model itself.
