# 🤖 UCortex Llama-3 8B Chatbot

Welcome to the official repository of **UCortex Llama-3 8B**. This model is a fine-tuned version of Meta's Llama-3-8B-Instruct, trained using **Unsloth** to achieve faster response speeds and optimized memory usage.

## 👤 Model Details
- **Developed by:** Saiyad Uzaib (@Uzaib52)
- **Model Type:** Causal Language Model (Fine-tuned via LoRA)
- **Base Model:** `unsloth/llama-3-8b-Instruct-bnb-4bit`
- **Language:** Hinglish / English / Hindi

##  How to Run UCortex Chatbot in Google Colab (Free T4 GPU)

If you want to chat with this model, open a new [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/) notebook, make sure to change the runtime to **T4 GPU** (*Runtime > Change runtime type > T4 GPU*), and run the following code:

```python
# 1. DEPENDENCY INSTALLATION
import sys
import subprocess

print("Installing Unsloth (Fast-Track Mode)... Please wait ~30-40 seconds.")

# install optimized wheels for Colab to prevent import 
subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", "--quiet", 
                "unsloth[colab-new] @ git+https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth.git",
                "xformers", "trl", "peft", "transformers", "accelerate", "bitsandbytes"])

import site
import importlib
importlib.invalidate_caches()
site.main()

print("Installation complete! Loading UCortex Model...")

# 2. QUICK LOAD THE MODEL
try:
    from unsloth import FastLanguageModel
except ModuleNotFoundError:
    import os
    sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages')
    from unsloth import FastLanguageModel

    device_map = "cuda"
)
FastLanguageModel.for_inference(model)
print("UCortex Chatbot is active! Type 'exit' to stop.\n" + "="*50)

# 3. DIRECT CONVERSATION LOOP

while True:

    if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit"]:
        print(" UCortex: Bye!")
        break
