Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems are powered by foundation models.
This paper presents a new set of foundation models, called Llama 3. It is a
herd of language models that natively support multilinguality, coding,
reasoning, and tool usage. Our largest model is a dense Transformer with 405B
parameters and a context window of up to 128K tokens. This paper presents an
extensive empirical evaluation of Llama 3. We find that Llama 3 delivers
comparable quality to leading language models such as GPT-4 on a plethora of
tasks. We publicly release Llama 3, including pre-trained and post-trained
versions of the 405B parameter language model and our Llama Guard 3 model for
input and output safety. The paper also presents the results of experiments in
which we integrate image, video, and speech capabilities into Llama 3 via a
compositional approach. We observe this approach performs competitively with
the state-of-the-art on image, video, and speech recognition tasks. The
resulting models are not yet being broadly released as they are still under
development.
