Llama-v3-8B-Instruct: State-of-the-art large language model useful on a variety of language understanding and generation tasks
Llama 3 is a family of LLMs. The model is quantized to w4a16 (4-bit weights and 16-bit activations) and part of the model is quantized to w8a16 (8-bit weights and 16-bit activations) making it suitable for on-device deployment. For Prompt and output length specified below, the time to first token is Llama-PromptProcessor-Quantized's latency and average time per addition token is Llama-TokenGenerator-Quantized's latency.
This is based on the implementation of Llama-v3-8B-Instruct found here. This repository contains scripts for optimized on-device export suitable to run on Qualcomm® devices. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.
Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.
Please follow the LLM on-device deployment tutorial.
Install the package via pip:
# NOTE: 3.10 <= PYTHON_VERSION < 3.14 is supported.
pip install "qai-hub-models[llama-v3-8b-instruct]"For llama_v3_8b_instruct, some additional functionality can be faster or is available only with a GPU on the host machine.
- 🟢 Exporting the model for on-device deployment (GPU not required)
- 🟡 Running the demo (GPU recommended for speed, but not required)
- 🟡 Running evaluation (GPU recommended for speed, but not required)
- 🔴 Quantizing the model (GPU required)
If you are quantizing your own variant of llama_v3_8b_instruct, a dedicated CUDA enabled GPU (40 GB VRAM for 3B models to 80 GB VRAM for 8B models) is recommended. A GPU can also increase the speed of evaluation and demo of your quantized model significantly but it not strictly required.
Install the GPU package via pip:
# NOTE: 3.10 <= PYTHON_VERSION < 3.14 is supported.

Run the following simple CLI demo to verify the model is working end to end:
python -m qai_hub_models.models.llama_v3_8b_instruct.demoMore details on the CLI tool can be found with the --help option. See
demo.py for sample usage of the model including pre/post processing
scripts. Please refer to our general instructions on using
models for more usage instructions.
To run the model on Qualcomm® devices, you must export the model for use with an edge runtime such as TensorFlow Lite, ONNX Runtime, or Qualcomm AI Engine Direct. Use the following command to export the model:
python -m qai_hub_models.models.llama_v3_8b_instruct.exportAdditional options are documented with the --help option.
