Meta Llama 3 8B Instruct is an 8 billion parameter instruction-tuned language model published on Hugging Face. It is designed for conversational applications and text generation, providing a defined chat template that structures messages with special tokens such as start and end headers along with end-of-turn markers.
The model includes an explicit chat template in its configuration that processes conversation turns by prefixing each with role identifiers, applies trimming, prepends a beginning-of-sequence token to the first message, and appends an assistant prompt when generation is required. It defines an end-of-sequence token as the end-of-turn identifier. These elements support consistent formatting for dialogue-based inference.
The model is hosted as a public repository on the Hugging Face platform under the meta-llama organization. It records over 44 million all-time downloads and nearly 1.5 million recent downloads. Inference providers are listed for conversational tasks, though one shows an error status. The page was created on April 17, 2024.
Hugging Face itself operates with the stated goal of advancing and democratizing artificial intelligence through open source and open science. No pricing, licensing terms, or additional capabilities are detailed in the repository metadata.
