Esper 2 is a DevOps and cloud architecture code specialist built on Llama 3.1 8b.
- Expertise-driven, an AI assistant focused on AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform, Dockerfiles, pipelines, shell scripts and more!
- Real world problem solving and high quality code instruct performance within the Llama 3.1 Instruct chat format
- Finetuned on synthetic [DevOps-instruct](https://huggingface.co./datasets/sequelbox/Titanium) and [code-instruct](https://huggingface.co./datasets/sequelbox/Tachibana) data generated with Llama 3.1 405b.
- Overall chat performance supplemented with [generalist chat data.](https://huggingface.co./datasets/sequelbox/Supernova)

## Version

This is the **2024-10-02** release of Esper 2 for Llama 3.1 8b.

Esper 2 will be coming to more model sizes soon :)


## Prompting Guide
Esper 2 uses the [Llama 3.1 Instruct](https://huggingface.co./meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) prompt format. The example script below can be used as a starting point for general chat:

```python
import transformers
import torch

model_id = "ValiantLabs/Llama3.1-8B-Esper2"

pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are an AI assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hi, how do I optimize the size of a Docker image?"}
]

outputs = pipeline(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=2048,
)

print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])
```

## The Model
Esper 2 is built on top of Llama 3.1 8b Instruct, improving performance through high quality DevOps, code, and chat data in Llama 3.1 Instruct prompt style.

Our current version of Esper 2 is trained on DevOps data from [sequelbox/Titanium](https://huggingface.co./datasets/sequelbox/Titanium), supplemented by code-instruct data from [sequelbox/Tachibana](https://huggingface.co./datasets/sequelbox/Tachibana) and general chat data from [sequelbox/Supernova.](https://huggingface.co./datasets/sequelbox/Supernova)
