+# Llama-3.1-Storm-8B-FP8-Dynamic
+## Model Optimizations
+This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of [Llama-3.1-Storm-8B](https://huggingface.co/akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B) to FP8 data type using [this script](https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor/tree/main/examples/quantization_w8a8_fp8), ready for inference with vLLM. This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 16 to 8, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 50%.
+
+Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformers blocks are quantized. Symmetric per-tensor quantization is applied, in which a single linear scaling maps the FP8 representations of the quantized weights and activations. LLM Compressor is used for quantization with 512 sequences of UltraChat.

+
+We present the [**Llama-3.1-Storm-8B**](https://huggingface.co/akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B) model that outperforms Meta AI's [Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) and [Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B) models significantly across diverse benchmarks as shown in the performance comparison plot in the next section. Our approach consists of three key steps:
+1. **Self-Curation**: We applied two self-curation methods to select approximately 1 million high-quality examples from a pool of ~2.8 million open-source examples. **Our curation criteria focused on educational value and difficulty level, using the same SLM for annotation instead of larger models (e.g. 70B, 405B).**
+2. **Targeted fine-tuning**: We performed [Spectrum](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.06623)-based targeted fine-tuning over the Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model. The Spectrum method accelerates training by selectively targeting layer modules based on their signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and freezing the remaining modules. In our work, 50% of layers are frozen.
+3. **Model Merging**: We merged our fine-tuned model with the [Llama-Spark](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Llama-Spark) model using [SLERP](https://huggingface.co/blog/mlabonne/merge-models#1-slerp) method. The merging method produces a blended model with characteristics smoothly interpolated from both parent models, ensuring the resultant model captures the essence of both its parents. [Llama-3.1-Storm-8B](https://huggingface.co/akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B) improves Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct across 10 diverse benchmarks. These benchmarks cover areas such as instruction-following, knowledge-driven QA, reasoning, truthful answer generation, and function calling.
+
+## 🏆 Introducing Llama-3.1-Storm-8B
+[**Llama-3.1-Storm-8B**](https://huggingface.co/akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B) builds upon the foundation of Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct, aiming to enhance both conversational and function calling capabilities within the 8B parameter model class.
+
+As shown in the left subplot of the above figure, [**Llama-3.1-Storm-8B**](https://huggingface.co/akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B) model improves Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct across various benchmarks - Instruction-following ([IFEval](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.07911)), Knowledge-driven QA benchmarks ([GPQA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.12022), [MMLU-Pro](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.01574)), Reasoning ([ARC-C](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.05457), [MuSR](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.16049), [BBH](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.09261)), Reduced Hallucinations ([TruthfulQA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.07958)), and Function-Calling ([BFCL](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gorilla-llm/Berkeley-Function-Calling-Leaderboard)). This improvement is particularly significant for AI developers and enthusiasts who work with limited computational resources.
+
+We also benchmarked our model with the recently published model [Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B) built on top of the Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model. As shown in the right subplot of the above figure, **Llama-3.1-Storm-8B outperforms Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B on 7 out of 9 benchmarks**, with Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B surpassing Llama-3.1-Storm-8B on the MuSR benchmark and both models showing comparable performance on the BBH benchmark.
+
+
+## Llama-3.1-Storm-8B Model Strengths
+Llama-3.1-Storm-8B is a powerful generalist model useful for diverse applications.

+
+
+## 💻 How to Use the FP8 Model
+### Installation
+```bash
+pip install --upgrade "transformers>=4.43.2" torch==2.3.1 accelerate vllm==0.5.3.post1
+```
+
+Developers can easily integrate Llama-3.1-Storm-8B into their projects using popular libraries like Transformers and vLLM. The following sections illustrate the usage with simple hands-on examples:
+
+### Conversational Use-case
+#### Use with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm)
+```python
+from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+
+model_id = "akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B"  # FP8 model: "akjindal53244/Llama-3.1-Storm-8B-FP8-Dynamic"
+num_gpus = 1
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
+llm = LLM(model=model_id, tensor_parallel_size=num_gpus)
+sampling_params = SamplingParams(max_tokens=128, temperature=0.01, top_k=100, top_p=0.95)
+
+messages = [
+    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
+    {"role": "user", "content": "What is 2+2?"}
+]
+prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize = False)
+print(llm.generate([prompt], sampling_params)[0].outputs[0].text.strip())  # Expected Output: 2 + 2 = 4
+```
+
+### Function Calling Use-case
+
+[**Llama-3.1-Storm-8B**](https://huggingface.co/collections/akjindal53244/storm-66ba6c96b7e24ecb592787a9) has impressive function calling capabilities compared to Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct as demonstrated by the BFCL benchmark.
+
+#### Prompt Format for Function Calling
+Llama-3.1-Storm-8B is trained with specific system prompt for Function Calling:
+```
+You are a function calling AI model. You may call one or more functions to assist with the user query. Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into function. The user may use the terms function calling or tool use interchangeably.
+
+Here are the available functions:
+<tools>LIST_OF_TOOLS</tools>
+
+For each function call return a json object with function name and arguments within <tool_call></tool_call> XML tags in the format:
+<tool_call>{"tool_name": <function-name>, "tool_arguments": <args-dict>}</tool_call>
+```
+Above system prompt should be used with passing `LIST_OF_TOOLS` as input.
+
+
+#### Use with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm)
+```python
+import json
+from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

+    
+    # Convert the tools list to a string representation
+    tools_str = json.dumps(tools_list, ensure_ascii=False)
