Prompting Guide

Esper 2 uses the Llama 3.1 Instruct prompt format. The example script below can be used as a starting point for general chat:

import transformers
import torch

model_id = "ValiantLabs/Llama3.1-8B-Esper2"

pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are an AI assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hi, how do I optimize the size of a Docker image?"}
]

outputs = pipeline(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=2048,
)

print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])

The Model

Esper 2 is built on top of Llama 3.1 8b Instruct, improving performance through high quality DevOps, code, and chat data in Llama 3.1 Instruct prompt style.

Our current version of Esper 2 is trained on DevOps data from sequelbox/Titanium, supplemented by code-instruct data from sequelbox/Tachibana and general chat data from sequelbox/Supernova.

Esper 2 is created by Valiant Labs.
