Llama 3 8B Instruct

by Meta

Llama 3 8B Instruct is the lighter-weight model in Meta's Llama 3 family, offering instruction-tuned capabilities aimed at dialogue and assistant-style chat. Trained on over 15 trillion tokens from publicly available data with a December 2023 knowledge cutoff, it uses the same supervised fine-tuning and RLHF approach as its larger sibling. The 8B model supports an 8,192-token context window and uses Grouped-Query Attention for efficient inference, holding competitive quality despite its smaller size. It runs comfortably on commodity hardware, which makes it a good fit where compute is constrained but output quality still matters. Released in April 2024 as part of the open Llama 3 launch, the 8B variant has lower capability than the 70B model but trades that for efficiency and accessibility, making it a practical choice for edge, single-machine, and cost-sensitive deployments across reasoning, coding, and chat.
