About the project
This is a chat-only model with 8B parameters released by Meta. With over 180 million cumulative downloads, it is one of the most widely used baselines in the open-source ecosystem. Weights can be downloaded directly from Hugging Face Hub or accessed via API through various inference providers.
It achieves a score of 84.5 on GSM8K math problem solving, demonstrating strength in complex logical reasoning and calculation tasks. Support for structured output and tool calling makes it suitable as the brain for agent development or automation pipelines. It provides templates optimized for single tool calls, ensuring consistent responses even during complex function integrations.
Various cloud providers such as Nscale, Novita, and DeepInfra host the model, allowing immediate testing without securing GPU resources. Some environments offer inference speeds exceeding 150 tokens per second, which is advantageous for building real-time conversational applications. Its lightweight nature reduces execution overhead on local environments or limited hardware.
