Meta-Llama-3-120B-Instruct

Meta-Llama-3-120B-Instruct is a meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct self-merge made with MergeKit.

It was inspired by large merges like:

Special thanks to Eric Hartford for both inspiring and evaluating this model and to Charles Goddard for creating MergeKit.

🔍 Applications

I recommend using this model for creative writing. It uses the Llama 3 chat template with a default context window of 8K (can be extended with rope theta).

Check the examples in the evaluation section to get an idea of its performance. The model is generally quite unhinged but has a good writing style. It sometimes outputs typos and is a big fan of uppercase.

⚡ Quantized models

Thanks to Bartowski, elinas, the mlx-community and others for providing these models.

🏆 Evaluation

This model is great for creative writing but struggles in other tasks. I'd say use it with caution and don't expect it to outperform GPT-4 outside of some very specific use cases.

💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "mlabonne/Meta-Llama-3-120B-Instruct"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])
