In this video, you will learn about Arcee-Spark, a new state-of-the-art 8-billion parameter model created by Arcee.ai from Llama-3.1 8B.

At the time of recording, Spark outperforms its base model on most language and math benchmarks.
The model is a merge of Llama-3.1 8B with additional training. It was built on Arcee Cloud and you can learn more at https://hubs.li/Q02KhKzK0
Here, I first run a 5-bit quantized version on my M3 MacBook and ollama. Then, I deploy the model on AWS with Amazon SageMaker. I run both synchronous and streaming inference. I also show you how to use the OpenAI Messages API, allowing you to invoke the model with the OpenAI prompting format. Finally, I compare ChatGPT and Arcee-Spark, and explain the benefits of high-quality small language models like Arcee-Spark compared to closed models.
