### Model Summary:

Llama-3.1-Centaur-70B is a foundation model of cognition model that can predict and simulate human behavior in any behavioral experiment expressed in natural language.

### Usage:

Note that Centaur is trained on a data set in which human choices are encapsulated by "<<" and ">>" tokens. For optimal performance, it is recommended to adjust prompts accordingly.

You can use the model using HuggingFace Transformers library with 2 or more 80GB GPUs (NVIDIA Ampere or newer) with at least 150GB of free disk space to accommodate the download.

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "marcelbinz/Llama-3.1-Centaur-70B"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
```

You can alternatively run the model with unsloth on a single 80GB GPU using the [low-rank adapter](https://huggingface.co/marcelbinz/Llama-3.1-Centaur-70B-adapter).
