Llama 3 8B Local AI Agents

In this tutorial, the YouTube channel ‘All About AI’ introduces Llama 3 8B, a local AI agent capable of controlling tools using APIs and internal functions. The video demonstrates how to create and utilize local LLM tool calling with Llama 3. The tutorial begins with an overview of the Llama 3 agent, showcasing its ability to search Google, scrape URLs, and store content in a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. The agent can also send emails with the gathered information. The video explains the function call process, detailing how the AI system parses user inputs, generates function calls, and executes them. The tutorial includes a step-by-step guide on setting up function calls, creating new tools, and integrating them into the system. The presenter emphasizes the importance of clear instructions and intelligent parsing by the AI model. The video provides practical examples, such as searching for information, checking context within the RAG system, and sending emails. Additionally, it covers adding new functions, like writing notes to a text file, and updating system messages and function lists. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of the agent’s capabilities and an invitation to access the full code by joining the channel’s membership.
