**Model creator:** [meta-llama](https://huggingface.co./meta-llama)
**Original model**: [Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co./meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct)
**GGUF quantization:** provided by [professorf](https://huggingface.co./professorf) based on `llama.cpp` release [b3472](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases/tag/b3441).
**ProfessorF (Nick V. Flor, PhD)**: Quantizes models for research reproducibility. If referenced in a paper, this is the exact quantized model used in that research.The quantization was done for research reproducibility purposes. Important: Requires LM Studio version 0.2.29, available now [here](https://lmstudio.ai/)!
## Model Summary:
Llama 3.1 is an update to the previously released family of Llama 3 models. It has improved performance across the board, especially in multilingual tasks.
It is the current state of the art for open source and can be used for basically any task you throw at it.
## Prompt Template:
Choose the 'Llama 3' preset in your LM Studio.
Under the hood, the model will see a prompt that's formatted like so:
```
<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>
{system_prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>
{prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
```
## Technical Details
Llama 3.1 features an improved 128k context window.
It has been trained on 15T tokens, including 25 million synthetically generated samples.

## Special thanks
🙏 Special thanks to [Georgi Gerganov](https://github.com/ggerganov) and the whole team working on [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/) for making all of this possible.
🙏 Special thanks to [Kalomaze](https://github.com/kalomaze) for his dataset (linked [here](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/5263)) that was used for calculating the imatrix for these quants, which improves the overall quality!
