Meta-Llama-3-120B-Instruct

Meta-Llama-3-120B-Instruct is a self-merge with meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct.

It was inspired by large merges like:

• alpindale/goliath-120b
• nsfwthrowitaway69/Venus-120b-v1.0
• cognitivecomputations/MegaDolphin-120b
• wolfram/miquliz-120b-v2.0.

🔍 Applications

I recommend using this model for creative writing. It uses the Llama 3 chat template with a default context window of 8K (can be extended with rope theta).

Check the examples in the evaluation section to get an idea of its performance.

💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "mlabonne/Llama-3-120B"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])
