Llama 3.1 8B is a multilingual dense transformer large language model designed for scalable text generation, reasoning, and dialogue applications. The model features an 8B parameter architecture with 32 transformer layers, 32 attention heads, and a 4,096 hidden size, utilizing Grouped Query Attention (GQA) for efficient inference. It supports up to a 128K token context window with advanced RoPE scaling for long-context processing. Optimized for multilingual text and code generation, it is widely used for conversational AI, developer tools, and production-grade LLM deployments.
