Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-8B is an advanced conversational question answering and retrieval enhanced generation model developed by NVIDIA. The model is improved based on ChatQA (1.0), adding conversational question and answer data, and enhancing table and arithmetic calculation capabilities. It has two versions: Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-8B and Llama3-ChatQA-1.5-70B, both trained with Megatron-LM and converted to Hugging Face format. This model performs well in the ChatRAG Bench benchmark and is suitable for scenarios requiring complex dialogue understanding and generation.
