Overview
ByteResearch/Llama-3-8B-Instruct is an 8 billion parameter instruction-tuned model from Meta's Llama 3 family. It is built on an optimized transformer architecture, incorporating Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for enhanced inference scalability. The model was pretrained on an extensive dataset of over 15 trillion tokens from publicly available sources, with instruction tuning further refined using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to align with human preferences for helpfulness and safety.
