Llama 3.1 8B Instruct

NVIDIA
Llama 3.1 8B Instruct is an instruction-tuned dense transformer large language model optimized for multilingual conversational AI and assistant-style applications. Built on an 8B parameter architecture, it features 32 transformer layers, 32 attention heads, and a 4,096 hidden size, leveraging Grouped Query Attention (GQA) for efficient inference. The model supports up to a 128K token context window with advanced RoPE scaling for long-context processing. Fine-tuned using supervised learning and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to align with human preferences for helpfulness and safety.
