💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "cstr/llama3-8b-spaetzle-v33"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)

Provenance and EU AI Act Art. 53 note

• Base model: cstr/llama3-8b-spaetzle-v33 — a mergekit merge published by the same maintainer as this repository. It is not a third-party upstream: the maintainer authored that model.
• What was done here: format conversion and/or quantisation of that base model only (GGUF). No further training, fine-tuning or merging was applied at this step.
• Licence: llama3, inherited through the base model from the models it was built from.
• Training data: none was used, added or selected at this conversion step. The base model's card lists the models it was built from; their training content is documented — where it is documented at all — by their respective providers.
• Provider status: under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 this repository makes no provider claim for the conversion step. Any provider obligations attaching to the model itself — including Art. 53(1)(c) copyright policy and Art. 53(1)(d) training-content summary — attach at cstr/llama3-8b-spaetzle-v33, not here.
