Hugging Face Overview
Model Overview
The mlx-community/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct is an instruction-tuned language model, featuring 3.2 billion parameters. It is a conversion of the meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct model into the MLX format, specifically optimized for Apple silicon using mlx-lm version 0.18.2.
Key Capabilities
- Instruction Following: Designed to respond to user instructions effectively.
- MLX Optimization: Leverages the MLX framework for efficient execution on Apple hardware.
- Causal Language Modeling: Generates text based on preceding tokens.
Usage
This model can be loaded and used with the mlx-lm library. Developers can utilize its generate function for text generation, with support for chat templates to format prompts for instruction-tuned interactions.
Good For
- Local Inference: Ideal for running language model tasks directly on Apple silicon devices.
- General-Purpose Applications: Suitable for a wide range of instruction-based text generation tasks where a compact yet capable model is required.
