Prompting Guide

Shining Valiant 2 uses the Llama 3.1 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-ShiningValiant2"

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

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are Shining Valiant, a highly capable chat AI."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Describe the role of transformation matrices in 3D graphics."}
]

outputs = pipeline(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=2048,
)

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

The Model

Shining Valiant 2 is built on top of Llama 3.1 8b Instruct.

The current version of Shining Valiant 2 is trained on technical knowledge using sequelbox/Celestia, complex reasoning using sequelbox/Spurline, and general chat capability using sequelbox/Supernova.

We're super excited that Shining Valiant's dataset has been fully open-sourced! She's friendly, enthusiastic, insightful, knowledgeable, and loves to learn! Magical.

Shining Valiant 2 is created by Valiant Labs.
