The Model [mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-8bit](https://huggingface.co/mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-8bit) was converted to MLX format from [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct) using mlx-lm version **0.16.0**.

## Use with mlx

```bash
pip install mlx-lm
```

```python
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-8bit")
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt="hello", verbose=True)
```
