Getting Started with Llama-3-8B
Meta has just released its next generation of open-source LLM, Meta Llama 3. It is the SOTA of LLMs with better performance than the most capable close-source LLMs! Currently, the Llama3 8b and 70b models are available, and a massive 400b model is expected in the next several months. The Llama3 models were trained on a significantly larger dataset compared to its predecessor, Llama 2, resulting in improved capabilities like reasoning and code generation.…

Getting Started with CodeGemma-7b-it
CodeGemma-7b-it is a small yet powerful “coding assistant” model in the Gemma family. It is designed for the following tasks. Code Completion: Imagine you're writing code and get stuck. CodeGemma 7B can analyze the existing code and suggest likely completions, saving you time and effort. Code Generation: Need a whole new block of code for a specific function? CodeGemma 7B can analyze the surrounding code and generate code snippets based on that context.…

Getting Started with Gemma-1.1-7b-it
Gemma-1.1-7b-it along with Gemma-1.1-2b-it is an freshly released update over Gemma 1.0. Gemma 1.1 appears to be an improvement over Gemma 1.0, particularly in its ability to understand ambiguous language. BBQ Ambig (stands for Balanced Breakfast Ambiguity): This metric measures a model’s ability to understand language that is ambiguous. The higher the score, the better. Gemma 1.1 2B shows a significant improvement over Gemma 1.0 2B, going from 62.58 to 86.…

Getting Started with Llava-v1.6-Vicuna-7B
Llava-v1.6-Vicuna-7B is open-source community's answer to OpenAI's multimodal GPT-4-V. It is also known as a Visual Language Model for its ability to handle visual images and language in a conversation. The model is based on lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.5. In this article, we will cover how to create an OpenAI-compatible API service for Llava-v1.6-Vicuna-7B. We will use LlamaEdge (the Rust + Wasm stack) to develop and deploy applications for this model. There is no complex Python packages or C++ toolchains to install!…

Getting Started with Gemma-2b-it
Google open sourced its Gemma models family yesterday, finally joining the open-source movement in large language models. Gemma-2b-it, like Gemma-7b-it we have discussed, is also designed for a range of text generation tasks like question answering, summarization, and reasoning. These lightweight, state-of-the-art models are built on the same technology as the Gemini models, offering text-to-text, decoder-only capabilities. They are available in English, with open weights, pre-trained variants, and instruction-tuned versions, making them suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environment.…
