Shining Valiant 2 is a chat model built on Llama 3.1 8b, finetuned on our data for friendship, insight, knowledge and enthusiasm.
  - Finetuned on [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) for best available general performance
  - Trained on a variety of our high quality open source data; focused on science, engineering, technical knowledge, and structured reasoning
  - Also available for [Llama 3.1 70b](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/Llama3.1-70B-ShiningValiant2) and [Llama 3.2 3b!](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/Llama3.2-3B-ShiningValiant2)


## Version

This is the **2024-11-04** release of Shining Valiant 2 for Llama 3.1 8b.

This release uses our newest datasets, open-sourced for everyone's use, including our expanded [science-instruct dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sequelbox/Celestia). This release features improvements in logical thinking and structured reasoning as well as physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, Earth science, computer science, and information theory.

Future upgrades will continue to expand Shining Valiant's technical knowledge base.

Help us and recommend Shining Valiant 2 to your friends!


## Prompting Guide
Shining Valiant 2 uses the [Llama 3.1 Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) prompt format. The example script below can be used as a starting point for general chat:

```python
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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sequelbox/Celestia), complex reasoning using [sequelbox/Spurline](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sequelbox/Spurline), and general chat capability using [sequelbox/Supernova.](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sequelbox/Supernova)

We're super excited that Shining Valiant's dataset has been fully open-sourced! She's friendly, enthusiastic, insightful, knowledgeable, and loves to learn! Magical.
