Instructions to use meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct", device_map="auto")
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=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Request to reconsider rejected Meta Llama 3 access for NVIDIA Kimodo

Hugging Face CLI

Hello Meta Llama team,

My Hugging Face account amuguaa requested access to meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct, but the request was rejected. The model download response provides no specific reason. I need this model as the base for the LLM2Vec text encoder used by NVIDIA Kimodo to generate character animation prototypes for an Unreal Engine project.

Could you reconsider the request, reset it so I can correct any incomplete application details, or tell me the appropriate appeal process? I intend to use the model under the applicable Meta Llama 3 license and will not redistribute its weights.

Thank you.
