Llama 3.2 3B Instruct

🚀 Meta Llama 3.2 Multilingual Large Language Models

Meta Llama 3.2 is a collection of multilingual large language models. These pretrained and instruction - tuned generative models offer excellent performance in multilingual dialogue, retrieval, and summarization tasks, outperforming many existing models on industry benchmarks.

🚀 Quick Start

Use with transformers

Starting with transformers >= 4.43.0, you can perform conversational inference using the pipeline abstraction or the generate() function with Auto classes.

First, update your transformers installation:

pip install --upgrade transformers

Here is a basic usage example:

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

model_id = "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
outputs = pipe(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=256,
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])

You can find more detailed usage recipes at huggingface-llama-recipes.

Use with llama

Follow the instructions in the repository.

To download the original checkpoints, use the following command with huggingface-cli:

huggingface-cli download meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct --include "original/*" --local-dir Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct

✨ Features

• Multilingual Support: Supports English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai, and can be fine - tuned for other languages.
• Optimized for Dialogue: Instruction - tuned text - only models are optimized for multilingual dialogue, retrieval, and summarization tasks.
• High Performance: Outperforms many open - source and closed - source chat models on common industry benchmarks.

📦 Installation

To use the model with transformers, ensure you have transformers >= 4.43.0 installed. You can update it via:

pip install --upgrade transformers

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},

    messages,
    max_new_tokens=256,
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])
