- Multilingual Support: Supports 8 languages, including English, German, and French.
- Extensive Training: Trained on over 1.5 trillion tokens, utilizing 250 million human and synthetic samples for fine-tuning.
- Flexible Licensing: Permissive model output usage allows for adaptation into other large language models (LLMs).
- Quantization Support: Available in FP8, AWQ, and GPTQ quantized versions for efficient inference.
- Performance: The Llama 3 405B version has outperformed GPT-4 in several benchmarks.
- Enhanced Efficiency: The 8B and 70B models have seen a 12% improvement in coding and instruction-following capabilities.
- Tool and Function Call Support: Supports tool usage and function calling.
How to Access Meta Llama 3.1
Your can access the Meta Llama 3.1 models according to Access to Hugging Face.
For comprehensive documentation and additional details, please refer to the model card.
Using Meta Llama 3.1 in DB-GPT
Please read the Source Code Deployment to learn how to install DB-GPT from source code.
Llama 3.1 needs upgrade your transformers >= 4.43.0, please upgrade your transformers:
pip install --upgrade "transformers>=4.43.0"
Please cd to the DB-GPT root directory:
cd DB-GPT
We assume that your models are stored in the models directory, e.g., models/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct.
Then modify your .env file:
LLM_MODEL=meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct
# LLM_MODEL=meta-llama-3.1-70b-instruct
# LLM_MODEL=meta-llama-3.1-405b-instruct
## you can also specify the model path
# LLM_MODEL_PATH=models/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
## Quantization settings
# QUANTIZE_8bit=False
# QUANTIZE_4bit=True
## You can configure the maximum memory used by each GPU.
# MAX_GPU_MEMORY=16Gib
Then you can run the following command to start the server:
dbgpt start webserver
Open your browser and visit http://localhost:5670 to use the Meta Llama 3.1 models in DB-GPT.
Enjoy the power of Meta Llama 3.1 in DB-GPT!
