Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems are powered by foundation models. This paper presents a
new set of foundation models, called Llama 3. It is a herd of language models that natively support
multilinguality, coding, reasoning, and tool usage. Our largest model is a dense Transformer with

of models natively supports multilinguality, coding, reasoning, and tool usage. Our largest model is dense
Transformer with 405B parameters, processing information in a context window of up to 128K tokens. Each
member of the herd is listed in Table 1. All the results presented in this paper are for the Llama 3.1 models,
which we will refer to as Llama 3 throughout for brevity.
We believe there are three key levers in the development of high-quality foundation models: data, scale, and
managing complexity. We seek to optimize for these three levers in our development process:

Llama 3 with competing models. An overview of the performance of the flagship Llama 3 model on key
benchmarks is presented in Table 2. Our experimental evaluation suggests that our flagship model performs
on par with leading language models such as GPT-4 (OpenAI, 2023a) across a variety of tasks, and is close to
matching the state-of-the-art. Our smaller models are best-in-class, outperforming alternative models with
similar numbers of parameters (Bai et al., 2023; Jiang et al., 2023). Llama 3 also delivers a much better
balance between helpfulness and harmlessness than its predecessor (Touvron et al., 2023b). We present a

3.1 Pre-Training Data
We create our dataset for language model pre-training from a variety of data sources containing knowledge
until the end of 2023. We apply several de-duplication methods and data cleaning mechanisms on each data
source to obtain high-quality tokens. We remove domains that contain large amounts of personally identifiable
information (PII), and domains with known adult content.

most recent version for pages corresponding to each URL.
• Document-level de-duplication. We perform global MinHash (Broder, 1997) de-duplication across the
entire dataset to remove near duplicate documents.
• Line-level de-duplication. We perform aggressive line-level de-duplication similar to ccNet (Wenzek
et al., 2019). We remove lines that appeared more than 6 times in each bucket of 30M documents.
Although our manual qualitative analysis showed that the line-level de-duplication removes not only
leftover boilerplate from various websites such as navigation menus, cookie warnings, but also frequent

Heuristic filtering. We develop heuristics to remove additional low-

over-represented on the web, for example, arts and entertainment.
Scaling laws for data mix. To determine the best data mix, we perform scaling law experiments in which we
train several small models on a data mix and use that to predict the performance of a large model on that mix

Using annealing to assess data quality. Similar to Blakeney et al. (2024), we find that annealing enables us to
judge the value of small domain-specific datasets. We measure the value of such datasets by annealing the
learning rate of a 50% trained Llama 3 8B model linearly to 0 on 40B tokens. In those experiments, we assign
30% weight to the new dataset and the remaining 70% weight to the default data mix. Using annealing to
evaluate new data sources is more efficient than performing scaling law experiments for every small dataset.

tokenizer with 28K additional tokens to better support non-English languages. Compared to the Llama

3.94 characters per token. This enables the model to “read” more text for the same amount of training

compression ratios and downstream performance, with no impact on English tokenization.

2. Next, we correlate the negative log-likelihood on downstream tasks with task accuracy, utilizing both the
scaling law models and older models trained with higher compute FLOPs. In this step, we specifically
leverage the Llama 2 family of models.
This approach enables us to predict downstream task performance given a specific number of training FLOPs

across different network paths by hashing on additional fields in the RoCE header of packets.
• Congestion control. We use deep-buffer switches in the spine (Gangidi et al., 2024) to accommodate
transient congestion and buffering caused by collective communication patterns. This setup helps
limit the impact of persistent congestion and network back pressure caused by slow servers, which is
common in training. Finally, better load balancing through E-ECMP significantly reduces the chance

Context parallelism for long sequences. We utilize context parallelism (CP) to improve memory efficiency when
scaling the context length of Llama 3 and enable training on extremely long sequences up to 128K in length.
In CP, we partition across the sequence dimension, and specifically we partition the input sequence into
2 × CP chunks so each CP rank receives two chunks for better load balancing. The i-th CP rank received
both the i-th and the (2 × CP − 1 − i)-th chunks.

Network-aware parallelism configuration. The order of parallelism dimensions, [TP, CP, PP, DP], is optimized
for network communication. The innermost parallelism requires the highest network bandwidth and lowest
latency, and hence is usually constrained to within the same server. The outermost parallelism may spread

for network bandwidth and latency, we place parallelism dimensions in the order of [TP, CP, PP, DP]. DP

the order of parallelism dimensions is [TP, CP, PP, DP], where DP corresponds to FSDP. The outermost

(1) requiring a large number of small control messages to be exchanged over the network to facilitate data

pre-train the 8B and 70B models.
3.4.1 Initial Pre-Training
We pre-train Llama 3 405B using AdamW with a peak learning rate of 8 × 10−5 , a linear warm up of 8,000
steps, and a cosine learning rate schedule decaying to 8 × 10−7 over 1,200,000 steps. We use a lower batch size
early in training to improve training stability, and increase it subsequently to improve efficiency. Specifically,
we use an initial batch size of 4M tokens and sequences of length 4,096, and double these values to a batch
size of 8M sequences of 8,192 tokens after pre-training 252M tokens. We double the batch size again to 16M
after pre-training on 2.87T tokens. We found this training recipe to be very stable:

“needle in a haystack” tasks up to that length. In Llama 3 405B pre-training, we increased context length
gradually in six stages, starting from the original 8K context window and ending in the final 128K context
window. This long-context pre-training stage was performed using approximately 800B training tokens.

in Figure 7. Unless otherwise noted, our modeling procedure applies to Llama 3 405B, and we refer to
Llama 3 405B as Llama 3 for simplicity.
4.1.1 Chat Dialog Format
To tune LLMs for human-AI interaction, we need to define a chat dialog protocol for the model to understand
human instructions and perform conversational tasks. Compared to its predecessor, Llama 3 has new
capabilities such as tool use (Section 4.3.5) which may require generating multiple messages and sending

to a single row during training with responses randomly shuffled. This is an
approximation to the standard scenario of putting the responses in separate rows and computing the scores,
but in our ablations, this approach improves training efficiency without a loss in accuracy.
4.1.3 Supervised Finetuning
The reward model is then used to perform rejection sampling on our human annotation prompts, the details
of which are described in Section 4.2. Together with this rejection-sampled data and other data sources
(including synthetic data), we finetune the pre-trained language model using a standard cross entropy loss
on the target tokens (while masking loss on prompt tokens). More details about the data mix can be found
in Section 4.2. We refer to this stage as supervised finetuning (SFT; We

mask out special formatting tokens including header
and termination tokens (described in Section 4.1.1) from both chosen and rejected responses in the
loss to stabilize DPO training. We observe that having these tokens contribute to the loss may lead
to undesired model behaviors such as tail repetition or abruptly generating termination tokens. We
hypothesize that this is due to the contrastive nature of the DPO loss – the presence of common tokens
in both chosen and rejected responses leads to a conflicting learning objective as the model needs to
increase and reduce the likelihood of these tokens simultaneously.
• Regularization with NLL loss: We add an additional negative log-likelihood (NLL) loss term with a scaling
coefficient of 0.2 on the chosen sequences, similar to Pang et al. (20

a used for
Llama 3 alignment. We ask annotators to perform multi-turn dialogues with the models and make comparisons among
responses at each turn. In post-processing, we split each dialogue to multiple examples at a turn level. Each example
consists of a prompt (including previous dialog if available) and a response (e.g., chosen or rejected response).
4.1.6 Iterative Rounds
Following Llama 2, we apply the above methods in six rounds. In each cycle, we collect new preference
annotations and SFT data, sampling synthetic data from the latest models.

covers multiple subcategories such as knowledge-based question and answering or precise instruction-following,
which fall outside the scope of specific capabilities. Compared to Llama 2, we observe an increase in the
average length of prompt and response, suggesting that we train Llama 3 on more complex tasks. In addition,
we implement a quality analysis and human evaluation process to rigorously assess the data collected, allowing
us to refine our prompts and provide systematic, actionable feedback to annotators. For example, as Llama 3
improves after each round, we increase prompt complexity accordingly to target areas where the model lags.
In each round of post-training, we use all the preference data that is available at the time for reward modeling,

statistics. In Section 4.2.3 we describe techniques for categorizing topic, complexity, and quality of our data
samples. In each round of post-training, we adjust our overall data mix carefully across these axes to tune
performance across a wide range of benchmarks. Our final data mix epochs multiple times on some high
quality sources and downsamples others.

general English data (accuracy, instruction following, and tone/presentation) and a two-point scale for
coding data (bug identification and user intention), and consider samples that obtain the maximum
score as high quality. The RM and Llama-based scores have high disagreement rates, and we find that
combining these signals yield the best recall on our internal test set. Ultimately, we select examples
that are marked as high quality by the RM or the Llama-based filter.
• Difficulty scoring: Because we are also interested in prioritizing examples that are more complex for
the model, we score data using two measures of difficulty: Instag (Lu et al., 2023) and Llama-based
scoring. For Instag, we prompt Llama 3 70B to perform intention tagging of SFT prompts, where more

1. Synthetic data generation: execution feedback. The 8B and 70B models show significant performance
improvements when trained on data generated by a larger, more competent model. However, our initial
experiments revealed that training Llama 3 405B on its own generated data is not helpful (and can
even degrade performance). To address this limitation, we introduced execution feedback as a source of
truth, enabling the model to learn from its mistakes and stay on track. In particular, we generate large

correctness, catching errors such as syntax errors, use of uninitialized variables or non-imported
functions, code style issues, typing errors, and others.
– Unit test generation and execution: For each problem and solution, we prompt the model
to generate unit tests, executed in a containerized environment together with the solution,
catching run-time execution errors and some semantic errors.
• Error feedback and iterative self-correction: When a solution fails at any step, we prompt the
model to revise it. The prompt included the original problem description, the faulty solution,
and feedback from the parser/linter/tester (stdout, stderr/ and return code). After a unit test

significantly for less common languages as measured by the MultiPL-E (Cassano et al., 2023) benchmark.

explanations) where execution feedback is less informative for determining quality, we employ an
alternative multi-step approach. Using this procedure, we generated approximately 1.2M synthetic

Section 7 this data is used to finetune the language model. Figure 9 shows an example of how the system
prompt helps improve the generated code quality — it adds necessary comments, uses more informative
variable names, saves memory, etc.
Filtering training data with execution and model-as-judge signals. As described in Section 4.2.3, we occasionally
encounter quality issues in our rejection-sampled data, such as code blocks containing bugs. Detecting these
issues in our rejection-sampled data is not as straightforward as it is for our synthetic code data, as the
rejection-sampled responses typically contain a mix of natural language and code for which the code may not

Expert training. Our Llama 3 pre-training data mix contains significantly more English tokens than non-English
tokens. To collect higher quality human annotations in non-English languages, we train a multilingual expert by
branching off the pre-training run and continuing to pre-train on a data mix that consists of 90% multilingual
tokens. We then perform post-training on this expert following Section 4.1. This expert model is then used to
collect higher quality annotations in non-English languages until pre-training was fully complete.

overall distribution is 2.4% human annotations, 44.2% data from other NLP tasks, 18.8% rejection sampl

0.2 − 1 for diverse generations in early rounds of post-training. With high temperature, responses
for multilingual prompts can get creative and inspiring, but are also susceptible to unnecessary
or unnatural code-switching. In the final round of post-training, we use a constant value of 0.6
to balance the trade-off. Additionally, we used specialized system prompts to improve response
format, structure and general readability.
– Selection: Prior to reward model based selection, we implement multilingual-specific checks to
ensure high language-match rate between the prompt and response (e.g., a romanized Hindi prompt
should not expect a response in Hindi Devanagari script).
• Translated data: We try to avoid using machine-translated data to finetune the model in ord
Paper Content
This scarcity makes it difficult to create diverse and
representative training datasets for teaching models various mathematical skills (Yu et al., 2023; Yue
et al., 2023; Luo et al., 2023; Mitra et al., 2024; Shao et al., 2024; Yue et al., 2024b).
• Lack of ground truth chain of thought: Effective reasoning requires a step-by-step solution to facilitate
the reasoning process (Wei et al., 2022c). However, there is often a shortage of ground truth chains of
thought, which are essential for guiding the model how to break down the problem step-by-step and
reach the final answer (Zelikman et al., 2022).
• Incorrect intermediate steps: When using model-generated chains of thought, the intermediate steps
may not always be correct (Cobbe et al., 2021; Uesato et al., 2022; Lightman et al., 2023; W

h skills. To facilitate this process, we create a taxonomy of mathematical
skills (Didolkar et al., 2024) and ask humans to provide relevant prompts/questions accordingly.
• Augmenting training data with step-wise reasoning traces: We use Llama 3 to generate step-by-step
solutions for a set of prompts. For each prompt, the model produces a variable number of generations.
These generations are then filtered based on the correct answer (Li et al., 2024a). We also do self-
verification where Llama 3 is used to verify whether a particular step-by-step solution is valid for a given
question. This process improves the quality of the finetuning data by eliminating instances where the
model does not produce valid reasoning traces.
• Filtering incorrect reasoning traces: We train outcome and stepwi

to reason accurately and learn from its mistakes.
4.3.4 Long Context
During the final pre-training stage, we extend the context length of Llama 3 from 8K tokens to 128K tokens
(see Section 3.4 for more details). Similar to pre-training, we find that during finetuning we must carefully
tune the recipe to balance short and long-context capabilities.
SFT and synthetic data generation. Naively applying our existing SFT recipe with only short-context data
resulted in significant regressions in long-context capabilities from pre-training, highlighting the need to
incorporate long-context data in our SFT data mix. In practice, however, it is largely impractical to get humans

dependencies. From here, we select the most commonly depended-upon files, specifically those referenced
by at least five other files. We remove one of these key files from a repository and prompt the model to
identify which files depended on the missing file and to generate the necessary missing code.
We further categorize these synthetically generated samples based on the sequence length (16K, 32K, 64K
and 128K) to enable more fine-grained targeting of input lengths.
Through careful ablations, we observe that mixing 0.1% of synthetically generated long-context data with the
original short-context data optimizes the performance across both short-context and long-context benchmarks.

• Mathematical computational engine. Llama 3 can use the Wolfram Alpha API8 to more accurately solve
math, science problems, or retrieve accurate information from Wolfram’s database.
The resulting model is able to use these tools in a chat setup to solve the user’s queries, including in multi-turn
dialogs. If a query requires multiple tool calls, the model can write a step-by-step plan, call the tools in
sequence, and do reasoning after each tool call.
We also improve Llama 3’s zero-shot tool use capabilities — given in-context, potentially unseen tool definitions
and a user query, we train the model to generate the correct tool call.
Implementation. We implement our core tools as Python objects with different methods. Zero-shot tools can

g about the tool outputs. Annotators cannot rank or edit the tool outputs.
• We do not perform rejection sampling, as we did not observe gains in our tool benchmarks.
To accelerate the annotation process, we start by bootstrapping basic tool use capabilities by finetuning on
synthetically generated data from previous Llama 3 checkpoints. Thus, annotators have fewer edits to perform.
In a similar spirit, as Llama 3 gradually improves through its development, we progressively complexify our
human annotation protocols: we start by single-turn tool use annotations, before moving to tool use in dialogs,
and finally annotating for multi-step tool use and data analysis.
Tool datasets. To create data for tool usage applications, we leverage the following procedure:
• Single-step tool use: We start

ming a task involving multi-step tool usage.
• File uploads: We annotate for the following filetypes: .txt, .docx, .pdf, .pptx, .xlsx, .csv, .tsv,
.py, .json, .jsonl, .html, .xml. Our prompts are based on a provided file, and ask to summarize the
contents of the file, find and fix bugs, optimize a piece of code, perform data analysis or visualization.
See Figure 11 for an example of Llama 3 performing a task involving a file upload.
After finetuning on this synthetic data, we gather human annotations in diverse and challenging scenarios
including multi-turn interactions, more than three step tool use, and instances where a tool call does not yield

missing docstrings or non-executable functions, and use Llama 3 to generate a natural language query
corresponding to the function call.
• Multi-turn function calling: We also generate synthetic data for multi-turn dialogs with function calls,
following a protocol similar to the one proposed in Li et al. (2023b). We use multiple agents that
generate domains, APIs, user queries, API calls, and responses, while also ensuring that the generated
data covers a set of diverse domains and realistic APIs. All agents are variants of Llama 3 prompted in
different ways depending on their roles and collaborate in a step-by-step manner.

6. Generate a refusal for responses which are consistently informative and incorrect across the generations,

We use data generated from the knowledge probe to encourage the model to only answer questions which it
has knowledge about, and refuse answering those questions that it is unsure about. Further, pre-training data
is not always factually consistent or correct. We therefore also collect a limited set of labeled factuality data
that deals with sensitive topics where factually contradictory or incorrect statements are prevalent.

evaluations are impacted by contamination of training data (Section 5.1.4).
5.1.1 Standard Benchmarks
To compare our models with the current state-of-the-art, we evaluate Llama 3 on a large number of standard
benchmark evaluations shown in Table 8. These evaluations cover eight top-level categories: (1) commonsense
reasoning; (2) knowledge; (3) reading comprehension; (4) math, reasoning, and problem solving; (5) long
context; (6) code; (7) adversarial evaluations; and (8) aggregate evaluations.

To ensure a fair comparison, we then select the best score between the score that we computed and the
reported number for that model with comparable or more conservative settings. You can find additional
details on our evaluation setup here. For some models, it is not possible to (re)compute benchmark values,
for instance, because the pre-trained model is not released or because the API does not provide access to
log-probabilities. In particular, this is true for all models comparable to Llama 3 405B. Thus, we do not

nuanced factors such as model tone, response structure, and verbosity – factors that we are optimizing for
in our post-training process. Overall, our human evaluation results are consistent with those on standard

Finally, we describe system-level safety, or the development and orchestration of classifiers around the input

the search usecase. Violation and false refusal rates are shown in Figure 20. We tested against the Comp. 1

four stages of potential attacks, generating scores for metrics such as scientific accuracy, detail, detection
avoidance, and probability of success in scientific and operational execution. After a robust Delphi process

they are not an issue during inference, since inference does not involve a backward pass that requires a pipeline

We evaluate the effect of using two micro-batches in inference workloads of 4,096 input tokens and 256 output
tokens both during the key-value cache pre-fill stage of inference and during the decoding stage. We find
that micro-batching improves throughput of inference with the same local batch size; see Figure 24. These
improvements result from micro-batching enabling concurrent execution of micro batches in both these stages.

still under development and not yet ready for release.
Before presenting the results of our experiments in Section 7.6 and 7.7, we describe the data we used to train
visual recognition capabilities, the model architecture of the vision components, how we scale training of those
components, and our pre-training and post-training recipes.
7.1 Data
We describe our image and video data separately below.
7.1.1 Image Data
Our image encoder and adapter are trained on image-text pairs. We construct this dataset via a complex
data processing pipeline that consists of four main stages: (1) quality filtering, (2) perceptual de-duplication,
(3) resampling, and (4) optical chara
Paper Content
first compute a 512-dimensional representation using the SSCD model. We use those embeddings to
perform a nearest neighbor (NN) search for each image across all images in our data set, using a cosine
similarity measure. We define examples above a certain similarity threshold as duplicates. We group
these duplicates using a connected-components algorithm, and maintain only one image-text pair per
connected component. We increase the efficiency of our de-duplication pipeline by: (1) pre-clustering the
data using k-means clusters and (2) using FAISS (Johnson et al., 2019) for NN searches and clustering.
• Resampling. We ensure diversity of the image-text pairs via resampling akin to Xu et al. (2023);
Mahajan et al. (2018); Mikolov et al. (2013). First, we construct a vocabulary of n-grams by

Safety. We focus primarily on ensuring that the pre-training dataset for image recognition does not contain
55
unsafe content, such as sexual abuse material (CSAM) (Thiel, 2023). We scan all our training images for
CSAM using perceptual hashing approaches such as PhotoDNA (Farid, 2021) as well as internal, proprietary
classifiers. We also use a proprietary media-risk retrieval pipeline to identify and remove image-text pairs
that we consider to be NSFW, for example, because they contain sexual or violent content. We believe that
minimizing the prevalence of such material in the training dataset improves the safety of the final model
without impacting its helpfulness. Finally, we perform face blurring on all images in our training set. We tes

• Synthetic captions. We include images with synthetic captions that were generated by an early version of
the model. Compared to original captions, we find that synthetic captions provide a more comprehensive
description of images than the original captions.
• Synthetically-generated structured images. We also include synthetically generated images for a variety
of domains such as charts, tables, flowcharts, math equations and textual data. These images are
accompanied by a structured representation such as the corresponding markdown or LaTeX notation.
Besides improving recognition capabilities of the model for these domains, we find this data useful to

aspect ratios with almost all videos having between aspect ratio between 1:2 and 2:1, with a 1:1 median.
7.2 Model Architecture
Our visual-recognition model consists of three main components: (1) an image encoder, (2) an image adapter,
and (3) a video adapter.
Image encoder. Our image encoder is a standard vision transformer (ViT; Dosovitskiy et al. (2020)) that
is trained to align images and text (Xu et al., 2023). We use the ViT-H/14 variant of the image encoder,

presentations produced by the language model (Alayrac et al., 2022). The
cross-attention layers are applied after every fourth self-attention layer in the core language model. Like the
language model itself, the cross-attention layers use generalized query attention (GQA) for increased efficiency.
The cross-attention layers introduce substantial numbers of additional trainable parameters into the model:
for Llama 3 405B, the cross-attention layers have ≈100B parameters. We pre-train our image adapter in two
stages: (1) initial pre-training followed by (2) annealing:

e visual-recognition components are added to Llama 3, the model contains self-attention layers, cross-
attention layers, and a ViT image encoder. To train adapters for the smaller 8B and 70B parameter models,
we found a combination of data and tensor parallelization is the most efficient. Model or pipeline parallelism
does not increase efficiency at these scales because the gathering of model parameters would dominate the
computation. We do, however, use pipeline parallelism (in addition to data and tensor parallelism) when
training the adapter for the 405B parameter model. Training at this scale introduces three new challenges in
addition to those outlined in Section 3.3: model heterogeneity, data heterogeneity, and numerical instabilities.
Model heterogeneity. The model computation is he

n in the image encoder,
so that each GPU processes roughly the same number of tokens. Because the average text size is relatively
short, we also use a substantially larger micro-batch size (8 instead of 1).
Numerical instabilities. After the image encoder is added to the model, we find that performing gradient
accumulation in bf16 led to numerical instabilities. The most likely explanation for this is that image tokens
are introduced into the language backbone via all cross-attention layers. This implies that numerical deviations
in the representation of an image token have an outsized impact on the overall computation because the errors
are compounded. We address this by performing gradient accumulation in FP32.

a global batch size of 4,096, a sequence length of 190 tokens, and a learning rate of 10−4 during training.

In this section, we describe the post-training recipe for our vision adapters. After pre-training, we fine-tune the
model on highly curated multi-modal conversational data to enable chat capabilities. We further implemen

write conversations.
To ensure diversity, we cluster large-scale datasets and sampled images uniformly across different clusters.
Further, we acquire additional images for a few specific domains by expanding a seed via k-nearest
58
neighbors. Annotators are also provided with intermediate checkpoints of existing models to facilitate
model-in-the-loop style annotations, so that model generations can be utilized as a starting point by
the annotators to then provide additional human edits. This is an iterative process, in which model
checkpoints would be regularly updated with better performing versions trained on the latest data. This
increases the volume and efficiency of human annotations, while also improving their quality.
• Synthetic data. We explore different ways to generate synthetic

Image. We initialize from the pre-trained image adapter, but hot-swap the pre-trained language model’s
weights with the instruction tuned language model’s weights. The language model weights are kept frozen to
maintain text-only performance, i.e., we only update the vision encoder and image adapter weights.
Our approach to finetune the model is similar to Wortsman et al. (2022). First, we run a hyperparameter
sweep using multiple random subsets of data, learning rates and weight decay values. Next, we rank the
models based on their performance. Finally, we average the weights of the top-K models to obtain the final
model. The value of K is determined by evaluating the averaged models and selecting the
Paper Content
pool of the best recent models, each with different characteristics.
We update the model pool weekly. Besides preference labels, we also request annotators to provide
optional human edits to correct inaccuracies in “chosen” responses because vision tasks have a low
tolerance for inaccuracies. Note that human editing is an optional step because there is a trade-off
between volume and quality in practice.
• Synthetic data. Synthetic preference pairs could also be generated by using text-only LLMs to edit and
deliberately introduce errors in the supervised finetuning dataset. We took the conversational data as
input, and use an LLM to introduce subtle but meaningful errors (e.g., change objects, change attributes,
add mistakes in calculations, etc.). These edited responses are used as negativ

term on the square of the reward logits averaged over the batch, which
prevents the reward scores from drifting.
The human preference annotations in Section 7.5.3 are used to train the vision RM. We follow the same
practice as language preference data (Section 4.2.1) to create two or three pairs with clear ranking (edited
> chosen > rejected ). In addition, we also synthetically augment the negative responses by perturbing the
words or phrases related to the information in the image (such as numbers or visual texts). This encourages
the vision RM to ground its judgement based on the actual image content.
7.5.5 Direct Preference Optimization
Similar to the language model (Section 4.1.4), we further train the vision adapters with Direct Preference

-truth via heuristics
or an LLM judge. Finally, we retrain the model by adding the correct answers back into the finetuning data
mix. We find it useful to keep multiple correct answers per question.
To ensure we only add high-quality examples back into training, we implemented the following two guardrails.
First, we find that some examples contain incorrect explanations, despite the final answer being correct. We
observed that this pattern occurs more frequently for questions where only a small fraction of the generated
answers is correct. Therefore, we drop answers for questions where the probability of the answer being correct
is below a certain threshold. Second, raters prefer some answers over others due to differences in language or
style. We use the reward model to select top-K highe

to ensure capabilities are retained or improved.
7.6 Image Recognition Results
We evaluate the performance of the image understanding capabilities of Llama 3 on a range of tasks spanning
natural image understanding, text understanding, charts understanding and multimodal reasoning:

understanding and reason about the contents of a document to answer questions about them.
Table 29 presents the results of our experiments. The results in the table show that our vision module attached
to Llama 3 performs competitively across a wide range of image-recognition benchmarks at varying model
capacities. Using the resulting Llama 3-V 405B model, we outperform GPT-4V on all benchmarks, while
being slightly behind Gemini 1.5 Pro and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Llama 3 405B appears particularly competitive
on document understanding tasks.
7.7 Video Recognition Results
We evaluate our video adapter for Llama 3 on three benchmarks:

8 Speech Experiments
We perform experiments to study a compositional approach of integrating speech capabilities into Llama
3, resembling the method we used for visual recognition. On the input side, an encoder, together with an
adapter, is incorporated to process speech signals. We leverage a system prompt (in text) to enable different
modes of operation for speech understanding in Llama 3. If no system prompt is provided, the model acts as
a general-purpose spoken dialogue model which can effectively respond to the user speech in a manner that is
consistent with the text-only version of Llama 3. The dialogue history is introduced as the prompt prefix to
improve the multi-round dialogue experience. We also e

unlock specific abilities when integrated with the large language model.
Pre-training data. To pre-train the speech encoder, we curate a dataset of approximately 15M hours of speech
recordings encompassing a large number of languages. We filter our audio data using a voice activity detection
(VAD) model and select audio samples with a VAD threshold above 0.7 for pre-training. In speech pre-training
data, we also focus on ensuring the absence of PII. We use the Presidio Analyzer to identify such PII.
Speech recognition and translation data. Our ASR training data contains 230K hours of manually transcribed
speech recordings that span 34 languages. Our AST training data contains 90K hours of translations in
two directions: from 33 languages to English and from English to 33 la

matches the distribution of speech. These heuristics include focusing on relatively short prompts
with a simple structure and without non-text symbols.
8.1.2 Speech Generation
The speech generation datasets mainly consist of those for training the text normalization (TN) model and
the prosody model (PM). Both training data are augmented with an additional input feature of the Llama 3
embeddings to provide contextual information.
Text normalization data. Our TN training dataset includes 55K samples that cover a wide range of semiotic
classes (e.g., number, date, time) that require non-trivial normalization. Each sample is a pair of written-form
text and the corresponding normalized spoken-form text, with an inferred sequence of handcrafted TN rules
that carry out the normalization.
Prosod
Paper Content
ext tokens. Furthermore, we incorporate two new special tokens
to enclose the sequence of speech representations. The speech module differs substantially from the vision
module (see Section 7), which feeds multi-modal information into the language model via cross-attention
layers. By contrast, the speech module generates embeddings that can be seamlessly integrated with text
tokens, enabling the speech interface to leverage all the capabilities of the Llama 3 language model.
Speech encoder. Our speech encoder is a Conformer (Gulati et al., 2020) model with 1B parameters. The
input to the model consists of 80-dimensional mel-spectrogram features, which are first processed by a stride-4
stacking layer followed by a linear projection to reduce the frame length to 40 ms. The resulting features

en text
into spoken form. The PM module enhances naturalness and expressiveness by predicting prosodic features
using these embeddings. Together, they enable accurate and natural speech generation.
Text normalization. As a determinant of the semantic correctness of generated speech, the text normalization
(TN) module carries out context-aware transformation from written-form text into the respective spoken form
which is eventually verbalized by the downstream components. For example, the written-form text 123 is
read as a cardinal number (one hundred twenty three) or spelled digit-by-digit (one two three) depending
on the semantic context. The TN system consists of a streaming LSTM-based sequence-tagging model that
predicts the sequence of handcrafted TN rules used to transform the input t

ion
heads. Each block includes cross-attention layers and dual fully connected layers with a hidden dimension
of 864. A distinctive feature of the PM is its dual cross-attention mechanism, with one layer dedicated to
linguistic inputs and the other to Llama embeddings. This setup efficiently manages varying input rates
without requiring explicit alignment.
8.3 Training Recipe
8.3.1 Speech Understanding
Training of the speech module is done in two stages. The first stage, speech pre-training, leverages unlabeled
data to train a speech encoder that exhibits strong generalization capabilities across languages and acoustic
conditions. In the second stage, supervised fine-tuning, the adapter and pre-trained encoder are integrated
with the language model, and trained jointly with it while

Repeat after me in {language}:, where {language} comes from one of the 34 languages (English, French,
etc.) For speech translation, the system prompt is: Translate the following sentence into {language}:. This
design has been shown to be effective in prompting the language model to respond in the desired language.
We used the same system prompts during training and inference.

encoder. We apply a mask of 32-frame length with a probability of 2.5% to the input mel-spectrogram. If the

odel employs a lookahead mechanism that considers a fixed
number of future phones and a variable number of future tokens. This ensures consistent lookahead while
processing incoming text, which is crucial for low-latency speech synthesis applications.
Training. We develop a dynamic alignment strategy utilizing causal masking to facilitate streamability in
speech synthesis. This strategy incorporates a lookahead mechanism for a fixed number of future phones and a
variable number of future tokens, aligning with the chunking process during text normalization (Section 8.1.2).
For each phone, the token lookahead includes the maximum number of tokens defined by the chunk size,
resulting in variable lookahead for Llama embeddings but fixed lookahead for phonemes.
The Llama 3 embeddings are source

8.4 Speech Understanding Results
We evaluate the speech understanding capabilities of our speech interface for Llama 3 on three tasks: (1)
automatic speech recognition, (2) speech translation, and (3) spoken question answering. We compare the
performance of our speech interface for Llama 3 with three state-of-the-art models for speech understanding:
Whisper (Radford et al., 2023), SeamlessM4T (Barrault et al., 2023), and Gemini.19 In all the evaluations, we

Speech recognition. We evaluate the ASR performance on the English datasets of Multilingual LibriSpeech

toxicity labels attached. The audio is passed as input to the model and the output is evaluated for toxicity,
after cleaning some special characters. We apply the MuTox classifier (Costa-jussà et al., 2023) and compare
the results with Gemini 1.5 Pro. We evaluate the percentage of added toxicity (AT), when the input prompt
is safe and the output is toxic, and the percentage of lost toxicity (LT), when the input prompt is toxic and
the answer is safe. Table 33 shows the results for English and an average across all 21 languages that we
evaluated on.22 The percentage of added toxicity is very low: our speech models have the lowest percentage
of added toxicity for English, with less than 1%. It removes significantly more toxicity than it adds.

Text normalization. To measure the effect of Llama 3 embeddings, we experimented with changing the amount
of right context the model uses. We trained the model using a right context of 3 TN tokens (demarcated
by unicode category). This model is compared to models that do not use the Llama 3 embeddings, using a

ty times the pre-training compute budget of Llama 2 70B. Despite containing 405B parameters,
our largest Llama 3 in fact contains fewer parameters than earlier and much less performant models such as
PALM (Chowdhery et al., 2023), due to better understanding of scaling laws (Kaplan et al., 2020; Hoffmann
et al., 2022). Little is publicly known about the size of other frontier models, such as Claude 3 or GPT
4 (OpenAI, 2023a), but overall performance is compareable.
Small models. Developments in smaller models have paralleled those in large models. Models with fewer
parameters can dramatically improve inference cost and simplify deployment (Mehta et al., 2024; Team et al.,
2024). The smaller Llama 3 models achieve this by training far beyond the point of compute optimal training,

Post-training. Post-training Llama 3 follows the established strategy of instruction tuning (Chung et al., 2022;
Ouyang et al., 2022) followed by alignment with human feedback (Kaufmann et al., 2023). While some studies
have shown the surprising effectiveness of lightweight alignment procedures (Zhou et al., 2024), Llama 3

question-answering and reasoning about videos (Lin et al., 2023; Li et al., 2023a; Maaz et al., 2024; Zhang
et al., 2023; Zhao et al., 2022). We find that such approaches produce results that are competitive with the
state-of-the-art; see Section 7.7.

ple, to ensure Llama 3 is not accidentally
overfitted on commonly used benchmarks, our pre-training data was procured and processed by a separate team
that was strongly incentivized to prevent contamination of that pre-training data with external benchmarks.
As another example, we ensure that our human evaluations remain trustworthy by allowing only a small set
of researchers who do not contribute to model development to perform and access these evaluations. While
such organizational decisions are rarely discussed in technical papers, we found them to be pivotal to the
successful development of the Llama 3 family of models.
