BioMed-Tuned-Llama-3-8b

BioMed LLaMa-3 8B

Meta AI released the Llama-3 family of LLMs, composed of two models of the next generation of Llama, Meta Llama 3, available for broad use. This release features pretrained and instruction-fine-tuned language models with 8B and 70B parameters that can support a broad range of use cases.

Llama-3 is a decoder-only transformer architecture with a 128K-token vocabulary and grouped query attention to improve inference efficiency. It has been trained on sequences of 8192 tokens.

Llama-3 achieved state-of-the-art performance, enhancing capabilities in reasoning, code generation, and instruction following. It is expected to outperform Claude Sonnet, Mistral Medium, and GPT-3.5 on a number of benchmarks.

Model Details

Powerful LLMs are trained on large amounts of unstructured data and are great at general text generation. BioMed-LLaMa-3-8B based on Llama-3-8b addresses some constraints related to using off-the-shelf pre-trained LLMs, especially in the biomedical domain:

• Efficiently fine-tuned LLaMa-3-8B on medical instruction Alpaca data, encompassing over 54K instruction-focused examples.
• Fine-tuned using QLoRa to further reduce memory usage while maintaining model performance and enhancing its capabilities in the biomedical domain.
