## 💫 Community Model> Llama 3 8B Instruct by Meta

*👾 [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai) Community models highlights program. Highlighting new & noteworthy models by the community. Join the conversation on [Discord](https://discord.gg/aPQfnNkxGC)*.

**Model creator:** [meta-llama](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama)<br>
**Original model**: [Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct)<br>
**GGUF quantization:** provided by [bartowski](https://huggingface.co/bartowski) based on `llama.cpp` PR [6745](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/6745)<br>

## Model Summary:
Llama 3 represents a huge update to the Llama family of models. This model is the 8B parameter instruction tuned model, meaning it's small, fast, and tuned for following instructions.<br>
This model is very happy to follow the given system prompt, so use this to your advantage to get the behavior you desire.<br>
Llama 3 excels at all the general usage situations, including multi turn conversations, general world knowledge, and coding.<br>
This 8B model exceeds the performance of Llama 2's 70B model, showing that the performance is far greater than the previous iteration.

## Prompt Template:

Choose the 'Llama 3' preset in your LM Studio. 

Under the hood, the model will see a prompt that's formatted like so:

```
<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

{system_prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

```

## Use case and examples

Llama 3 should be great for anything you throw at it. Try it with conversations, coding, and just all around general inquiries.

## Creative conversations

Using a system prompt of `You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!`

## Technical Details

Llama 3 was trained on over 15T tokens from a massively diverse range of subjects and languages, and includes 4 times more code than Llama 2.

This model also features Grouped Attention Query (GQA) so that memory usage scales nicely over large contexts.

Instruction fine tuning was performed with a combination of supervised fine-tuning (SFT), rejection sampling, proximal policy optimization (PPO), and direct policy optimization (DPO).

## Special thanks

🙏 Special thanks to [Georgi Gerganov](https://github.com/ggerganov) and the whole team working on [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/) for making all of this possible.

🙏 Special thanks to [Kalomaze](https://github.com/kalomaze) for his dataset (linked [here](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/5263)) that was used for calculating the imatrix for these quants, which improves the overall quality!
