# Original Model Card

Cobalt is a math-instruct model built on Llama 3.1 8b.
- High quality math instruct performance within the Llama 3 Instruct chat format
- Finetuned on synthetic math-instruct data generated with Llama 3.1 405b. [Find the current version of the dataset here!](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sequelbox/Polytope)


## Version

This is the **2024-08-16** release of Cobalt for Llama 3.1 8b.

Help us and recommend Cobalt to your friends! We're excited for more Cobalt releases in the future. 

Right now, we're working on more new Build Tools to come very soon, built on Llama 3.1 :)


## Prompting Guide
Cobalt uses the [Llama 3.1 Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-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-Cobalt"

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

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Cobalt, expert math AI."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm buying a $50 shirt and a $80 pair of pants, both currently at a 25% discount. How much will I pay?"}
]

outputs = pipeline(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
)

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


## The Model
Cobalt is built on top of Llama 3.1 8b Instruct, using math-instruct data to supplement math-instruct performance using Llama 3.1 Instruct prompt style.

Our current version of the Cobalt math-instruct dataset is [sequelbox/Polytope](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sequelbox/Polytope), supplemented with a small selection of data from [LDJnr/Pure-Dove](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LDJnr/Pure-Dove) for general chat consistency.
