Instructions to use meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-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=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Request for Reconsideration of Access to Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

Hello Meta Llama Team,

My request for access to Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct was recently rejected, and I would like to kindly ask for reconsideration.

I am a university student conducting academic research on long-term memory and safety in large language model agents. I need Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct to reproduce and compare published benchmark experiments as part of my research.

The model will be used only for academic research. I will comply with the Llama 3.1 Community License and Acceptable Use Policy, and I will not redistribute the model weights.
