# Triangle104/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`unsloth/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct) for more details on the model.

Special Thanks
A huge thank you to the Meta and Llama team for creating and releasing these models.

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 family of models 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.

License: Use of Llama 3.2 is governed by the Llama 3.2 Community License (a custom, commercial license agreement).

Where to send questions or comments about the model Instructions on how to provide feedback or comments on the model can be found in the model README. For more technical information about generation parameters and recipes for how to use Llama 3.1 in applications, please go here.

## Use with llama.cpp
Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

```bash
brew install llama.cpp

```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

### CLI:
```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.2-3b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

### Server:
```bash
llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.2-3b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
```

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the [usage steps](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage) listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.
```
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with `LLAMA_CURL=1` flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).
```
cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make
```

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.
```
./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.2-3b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```
or 
```
./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file llama-3.2-3b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
```
