Now, let me explain how it works in more detail using an example: say you have a text document that contains some information about cats. You want to use Llama 3 to analyze this text and extract certain pieces of data (like the number of cats mentioned or their breeds). To do this, we’re going to feed the input text into our inference process, which will then pass it through a series of steps:

1. Preprocessing: This involves cleaning up the text by removing any unnecessary punctuation or formatting. For example, if your input text looks like “Cats are awesome! “, we’ll convert this to “cats are awesome”.

2. Tokenization: We break down each sentence into individual words (or tokens) so that Llama 3 can better understand the context and meaning of the text. For example, if our input text is “I have two cats named Fluffy and Whiskers”, we’ll convert this to [“i”, “have”, “two”, “cats”, “named”, “fluffy”, “and”, “whiskers”].

3. Encoding: We encode each token using a numerical representation (called an embedding) so that Llama 3 can process it more efficiently. For example, the word “cat” might be represented as [0.25, -0.1, 0.4].

4. Feeding into Llama 3: We pass our encoded input text through Llama 3’s neural network architecture to generate a response based on what it has learned from its training data (which includes lots of cat-related information). For example, if we ask “How many cats are mentioned in this text? “, Llama 3 might respond with “2”.

5. Postprocessing: We clean up the output by removing any unnecessary punctuation or formatting and converting it back into a human-readable format (like “The number of cats mentioned is 2”).

And that’s basically how our Llama 3 Inference Integrations work! It might sound complicated, but trust us it’s pretty cool.
