WARNING: text-generation-webui
When using Llama 3 Instruct models (including Shining Valiant 2) with text-generation-webui note that a current bug in webui can result in incorrect reading of the model's ending tokens, causing unfinished outputs and incorrect structure.
For a temporary workaround if you encounter this issue, edit Shining Valiant 2's tokenizer_config file as indicated:
from "eos_token": "<|end_of_text|>",
to "eos_token": "<|eot_id|>",
