Instructions to use Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Dampfinchen/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Use Llama 3 Instruct prompt template. Use with caution, I'm not responsible for what you do with it. All credits and thanks go to the creators of the fine tunes I've merged. In my own tests and on HF Eval it performs very well for a 8B model and I can recommend it. High quality quants by Bartowski: https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Llama-3.1-8B-Ultra-Instruct-GGUF
