Working with Llama 3

The field of large language models has exploded, and Llama is a standout. With Llama 3, possibilities have soared. Explore its capabilities, learn to use it with llama-cpp-python, and understand how to control the model's behavior by adjusting parameters and assigning specific roles to guide the conversation.

Language models can do more than just generate text - they can be guided to produce structured and context-aware responses. In this chapter, you'll explore how to leverage llama-cpp-python to generate outputs in specific formats, including JSON-compatible responses for data integration. You'll also refine Llama's output using prompting techniques to align responses with different tasks. Finally, you'll build conversations that maintain context across multiple exchanges, ensuring more natural interactions.
