Prompting Guide
Shining Valiant 2 uses the Llama 3.1 Instruct prompt format. The example script below can be used as a starting point for general chat:
import transformers
import torch
model_id = "ValiantLabs/Llama3.1-8B-ShiningValiant2"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
device_map="auto",
)
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are Shining Valiant, a highly capable chat AI."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Describe the role of transformation matrices in 3D graphics."}
]
outputs = pipeline(
messages,
max_new_tokens=2048,
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])
The Model
Shining Valiant 2 is built on top of Llama 3.1 8b Instruct.
The current version of Shining Valiant 2 is trained on technical knowledge using sequelbox/Celestia and general chat capability using sequelbox/Supernova.
Our private data adds specialist knowledge and Shining Valiant's personality: she's friendly, enthusiastic, insightful, knowledgeable, and loves to learn! Magical. (As a general note: we're hoping to replace and open-source this part of Shining Valiant's dataset with synthetic data soon!)
Shining Valiant 2 is created by Valiant Labs.
