Overview

Meta-Llama-3.1-8B is an 8 billion parameter instruction-tuned model from Meta's Llama 3.1 family, designed for multilingual dialogue. It utilizes an optimized transformer architecture and is fine-tuned using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to align with human preferences for helpfulness and safety. The model boasts a substantial 128k context length and was trained on over 15 trillion tokens of publicly available online data, with a knowledge cutoff of December 2023.
