Libraries

How to use meta-llama/Llama-3.1-405B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.1-405B")

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-405B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-405B", device_map="auto")
