Instructions to use arcee-ai/Llama-Spark with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use arcee-ai/Llama-Spark with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="arcee-ai/Llama-Spark")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("arcee-ai/Llama-Spark")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("arcee-ai/Llama-Spark")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Model Description

Llama-Spark is our commitment to consistently delivering the best-performing conversational AI in the 6-9B parameter range. As new base models become available, we'll continue to update and improve Spark to maintain its leadership position.

This model is a successor to our original Arcee-Spark, incorporating advancements and learnings from our ongoing research and development.

Intended Uses

Llama-Spark is intended for use in conversational AI applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and dialogue systems. It excels at engaging in natural and informative conversations.
