Libraries

How to use pearl-ai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-pearl with Transformers:

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

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

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pearl-ai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-pearl")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("pearl-ai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-pearl", 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]:]))

pearl-ai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-pearl

Pearl-certified variant of Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, intended to run with the Pearl vLLM mining plugin.

Project website: https://pearlresearch.ai
Pearl repository: https://github.com/pearl-research-labs/pearl
Miner docs: https://github.com/pearl-research-labs/pearl/tree/master/miner

Model Details

Base model: meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
Model type: Causal LLM (instruction-tuned)
Primary runtime target: Pearl vLLM plugin (miner/vllm-miner)
Intended use: Text generation with Pearl mining integration

Intended Use

This model is intended to be served through the Pearl miner stack, where vLLM inference is integrated with Pearl mining workflows.

Typical flow:

Run pearld with RPC enabled.
Start the Pearl miner/vLLM stack.
Serve this model through vLLM while Pearl gateway/miner components handle mining-side integration.

How To Use (Pearl vLLM Plugin)

Follow the miner setup from the Pearl repo:

pearl/miner README

High-level prerequisites:

Python 3.12
uv
CUDA + NVIDIA GPU (sm90 class, e.g. H100/H200, per project docs)
Rust toolchain
Running pearld node with RPC credentials

Docker Example

From the Pearl repository root:

docker buildx build -t vllm_miner . -f miner/vllm-miner/Dockerfile

docker run --rm -it --gpus all \
  -p 8000:8000 -p 8337:8337 -p 8339:8339 \
  -e PEARLD_RPC_URL=<PEARLD_URL> \
  -e PEARLD_RPC_USER=<RPC_USER> \
  -e PEARLD_RPC_PASSWORD=<RPC_PASSWORD> \
  -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
  --shm-size 8g \
  vllm_miner:latest \
  pearl-ai/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-pearl \
  --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
  --max-model-len 8192 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
  --enforce-eager

License

This model is a derivative of Llama 3.1 and is distributed under the Llama 3.1 license terms.

Limitations

Can generate incorrect, unsafe, or biased outputs.
Requires careful deployment controls and output validation.
Hardware/software compatibility depends on the Pearl miner stack and supported GPU architectures.
