Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-GGUF

GGUF models for llama3.java

Pure .gguf Q4_0 and Q8_0 quantizations of Llama 3.2 models, ready to consume by llama3.java.

In the wild, Q8_0 quantizations are fine, but Q4_0 quantizations are rarely pure e.g. the output.weights tensor is quantized with Q6_K, instead of Q4_0.
A pure Q4_0 quantization can be generated from a high precision (F32, F16, BFLOAT16) .gguf source with the llama-quantize utility from llama.cpp as follows:

./llama-quantize --pure ./Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-F32.gguf ./Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Q4_0.gguf Q4_0

Model Information

The Meta Llama 3.2 collection of multilingual large language models (LLMs) is a collection of pretrained and instruction-tuned generative models in 1B and 3B sizes (text in/text out). The Llama 3.2 instruction-tuned text only models are optimized for multilingual dialogue use cases, including agentic retrieval and summarization tasks. They outperform many of the available open source and closed chat models on common industry benchmarks.

Model Developer: Meta

Model Architecture: Llama 3.2 is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. The tuned versions use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to align with human preferences for helpfulness and safety.

Supported Languages: English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai are officially supported. Llama 3.2 has been trained on a broader collection of languages than these 8 supported languages. Developers may fine-tune Llama 3.2 models for languages beyond these supported languages, provided they comply with the Llama 3.2 Community License and the Acceptable Use Policy. Developers are always expected to ensure that their deployments, including those that involve additional languages, are completed safely and responsibly.

Llama 3.2 Model Family: Token counts refer to pretraining data only. All model versions use Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for improved inference scalability.

Model Release Date: Sept 25, 2024

Status: This is a static model trained on an offline dataset. Future versions may be released that improve model capabilities and safety.
