## 💫 Community Model> Llama 3 ChatQA 1.5 8B by NVIDIA

**Model creator:** [nvidia](https://huggingface.co/nvidia)<br>
**Original model**: [Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-8B](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-8B)<br>
**GGUF quantization:** provided by [bartowski](https://huggingface.co/bartowski) based on `llama.cpp` release [b2777](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases/tag/b2777)<br>

## Model Summary:
ChatQA 1.5 is a series of models trained to excel at RAG (retrieval augmented generation) tasks.<br>
This model may work for general uses, but it primarily meant for use as a context sumarizer or context extraction.<br>
Using the context provided after the system message, the model is able to provide contextual and accurate answers to queries.<br>

## Prompt Template:

For now, you'll need to make your own template. Choose the `LM Studio Blank Preset` in your LM Studio.

Then, set the system prompt to whatever you'd like (check the recommended one below), and set the following values:<br>
`System Message Prefix`: 'System: '<br>
`User Message Prefix`: '\n\nUser: '<br>
`User Message Suffix`: '\n\nAssistant: <|begin_of_text|>'<br>

If you want to provide context, place that in the system message suffix like so:

`System Message Suffix`: '\n\n{context}'<br>

Under the hood, the model will see a prompt that's formatted like:

```
System: This is a chat between a user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions based on the context. The assistant should also indicate when the answer cannot be found in the context.

This is some context

User: {Question}

Assistant: 
```

nVidia also seems to recommend starting your query with "Please give a full and complete answer for the question."

## Technical Details

Llama3-ChatQA-1.5 excels at conversational question answering (QA) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Llama3-ChatQA-1.5 is developed using an improved training recipe from ChatQA (1.0), and it is built on top of Llama-3 base model.<br>
Specifically, more conversational QA data was used to enhance its tabular and arithmetic calculation capability.

## Special thanks

🙏 Special thanks to [Georgi Gerganov](https://github.com/ggerganov) and the whole team working on [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/) for making all of this possible.

🙏 Special thanks to [Kalomaze](https://github.com/kalomaze) for his dataset (linked [here](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/5263)) that was used for calculating the imatrix for the IQ1_M and IQ2_XS quants, which makes them usable even at their tiny size!
