meta-llama/llama-cookbook

Llama Cookbook is a collection of Jupyter notebooks and guides for building applications with Llama language models.

The project addresses the challenge of getting started with Llama models by providing practical recipes and examples for inference, fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation. It covers both the open-source Llama model family and the managed Llama API, showing developers how to integrate these models into real-world applications across different domains and provider services.

Developers should choose this resource if they are building with Llama models and want reference implementations for common tasks. The cookbook suits projects ranging from simple inference use cases to complex end-to-end applications like research paper analysis, chatbot integrations, and long-context processing. It includes recipes for working with both text and vision models, as well as integration examples with third-party platforms and services.

The project maintains a substantial base of external users who report issues and request features, indicating real-world adoption. Responses to issues and pull requests typically arrive within one to two weeks. The issue tracker is primarily organized around triage, user questions, and enhancement requests rather than internal development priorities.
