Instructions to use meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct with Transformers:

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

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

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

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

Hello, my access request may have been rejected by mistake. I am an undergraduate student at Tongji University and I would like to use this model for academic research / course reproduction only. I will comply with the license terms and will not redistribute the weights. Could you please help review or reopen my request? Thank you.

你好，我的访问请求可能被误拒了。我是同济大学的一名本科生，我只想用这个模型进行学术研究/课程复制。我会遵守许可条款，不会重新分配权重。你能帮忙审核或重新开启我的请求吗？谢谢。
