What is Llama 3.1?



Llama 3.1 is a new state-of-the-art model from Meta available in 8B, 70B and 405B parameter sizes. Specifically, the "8B" denotes that this model has 8 billion parameters, which are the variables the model uses to make predictions.

Is Llama 3.1 free for commercial use?



LLaMA 3.1, like its predecessors, is not entirely free for commercial use. While Meta has made the LLaMA models available for research and academic purposes, they have specific licensing restrictions regarding commercial use.

To use LLaMA 3.1 for commercial purposes, organizations typically need to obtain a special license from Meta. The commercial license is not freely available, and interested parties usually need to negotiate terms directly with Meta.

How good is Llama 3.1 8B?



Llama3.1 8B balances performance and computational efficiency, making it suitable for a range of applications such as text generation, question answering, language translation, and code generation. Despite having fewer parameters compared to larger models like Llama 3.1 70B, it delivers impressive results in various natural language processing tasks. Additionally, Meta’s smaller models are competitive with closed and open models that have a similar number of parameters.

Is Llama 3.1 better than ChatGPT?



LLaMA 3.1 might be better suited for research, technical tasks, and applications requiring a highly customizable and powerful open-source model. ChatGPT (GPT-4) is likely better for general-purpose use, especially in conversational contexts, and is more accessible for commercial deployment with less need for extensive customization.

What is Ollama?



Ollama is an open source large language modeling service tool that helps users quickly run large models locally. With a simple install command, users can run open source large language models such as qwen locally with a single command. Ollama greatly simplifies the process of deploying and managing LLMs in Docker containers, enabling users to quickly run large language models locally!

What size Llamma 3.1 model should you choose?



Llamma 3.1 8B is best for prototyping, lightweight applications, or use cases where computational resources are limited. Suitable for systems with lower VRAM (e.g., 16-24 GB).

70B is best for more complex applications requiring better language understanding, reasoning, and accuracy. Requires significant VRAM, ideally 48 GB or more.

405B for advanced AI research, specialized tasks, or scenarios where the highest accuracy and detail are crucial (e.g., medical diagnostics, scientific research). Requires advanced hardware such as NVIDIA A100 with large VRAM capacities (160 GB or more).

How much graphics memory should be used for inference scenarios?



There is a simple conversion method: different dtypes, each 1 billion parameters require memory as follows:
- float32 4G
- fp16/bf16 2G
- int8 1G
- int4 0.5G
Then, if the 8B model uses int8 precision, it will require 1G*8 = 8G of video memory. An RTX 4000 VPS can do it. For LLaMA 3.1 70B, it is best to use a GPU with at least 48 GB of VRAM, such as the RTX A6000 Server.
