# Llama-v3.2-3B-Chat: Optimized for Mobile Deployment
## State-of-the-art large language model useful on a variety of language understanding and generation tasks

Llama 3 is a family of LLMs. The "Chat" at the end indicates that the model is optimized for chatbot-like dialogue. The model is quantized to w4a16 (4-bit weights and 16-bit activations) and part of the model is quantized to w8a16 (8-bit weights and 16-bit activations) making it suitable for on-device deployment. For Prompt and output length specified below, the time to first token is Llama-PromptProcessor-Quantized's latency and average time per addition token is Llama-TokenGenerator-Quantized's latency.

This is based on the implementation of Llama-v3.2-3B-Chat found
[here]({source_repo}). More details on model performance
accross various devices, can be found [here](https://aihub.qualcomm.com/models/llama_v3_2_3b_chat_quantized).

### Model Details

- **Model Type:** Text generation
- **Model Stats:**
  - Input sequence length for Prompt Processor: 128
  - Context length: 4096
  - Number of parameters: 3B
  - Model size: 2.4G
  - Precision: w4a16 + w8a16 (few layers)
  - Num of key-value heads: 8
  - Model-1 (Prompt Processor): Llama-PromptProcessor-Quantized
  - Prompt processor input: 128 tokens + position embeddings + attention mask + KV cache inputs
  - Prompt processor output: 128 output tokens + KV cache outputs
  - Model-2 (Token Generator): Llama-TokenGenerator-Quantized
  - Token generator input: 1 input token + position embeddings + attention mask + KV cache inputs
  - Token generator output: 1 output token + KV cache outputs
  - Use: Initiate conversation with prompt-processor and then token generator for subsequent iterations.
  - Minimum QNN SDK version required: 2.27.7
  - Supported languages: English.
  - TTFT: Time To First Token is the time it takes to generate the first response token. This is expressed as a range because it varies based on the length of the prompt. The lower bound is for a short prompt (up to 128 tokens, i.e., one iteration of the prompt processor) and the upper bound is for a prompt using the full context length (4096 tokens).
  - Response Rate: Rate of response generation after the first response token.

| Model | Device | Chipset | Target Runtime | Response Rate (tokens per second) | Time To First Token (range, seconds)
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Llama-v3.2-3B-Chat | Snapdragon 8 Elite QRD | Snapdragon® 8 Elite | QNN | 23.4718 | 0.088195 - 2.82225 | -- | -- |
