# Llama-3.1-SuperNova-Lite by Arcee.ai
## Overview
Llama-3.1-SuperNova-Lite is an 8B parameter model developed by Arcee.ai, derived from the high-performance Arcee-SuperNova model. Built to offer exceptional instruction-following capabilities and domain-specific adaptability, this model was distilled from a 405B parameter architecture using a cutting-edge distillation pipeline. The model leverages offline logits and an instruction dataset generated with EvolKit (https://github.com/arcee-ai/EvolKit), ensuring high accuracy and usability across a range of tasks.
Llama-3.1-SuperNova-Lite excels in both benchmark performance and real-world application scenarios, offering a smaller footprint without sacrificing the power needed for demanding generative AI tasks. It’s ideal for organizations looking to harness large-scale model capabilities in a more compact, efficient format.
