## Prompt Template:

Choose the 'Llama 3' preset in your LM Studio. 

Under the hood, the model will see a prompt that's formatted like so:

```
<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>

{system_prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

{prompt}<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

```
