Llama 3.1 models in prompting mode have a slightly different chat template than Llama 3.0. Specifically, they need to carry the Cutting Knowledge Date and the Today Date information in the system prompt. This PR accounts for that difference in the Llama prompting handler (llama.py).
Here is the difference in how we should format the system prompt:
formatted_prompt += "<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>\n\n"
formatted_prompt += "Cutting Knowledge Date: December 2023\n" # Llama 3.0 doesn't have this line
formatted_prompt += "Today Date: 26 Jul 2024\n\n" # Llama 3.0 doesn't have this line
formatted_prompt += system_message + "<|eot_id|>"
Note: Although Llama 3.2 has the same chat template as Llama 3.1, their model card doesn't contain such additional information, so we adhere to that, and thus Llama 3.2 still have the same processing logic with Llama 3.0.
For reference, below is the Llama 3.0 chat template.
"bos_token": "<|begin_of_text|>",
"chat_template": "{% set loop_messages = messages %}{% for message in loop_messages %}{% set content = '<|start_header_id|>' + message['role'] + '<|end_header_id|>\n\n'+ message['content'] | trim + '<|eot_id|>' %}{% if loop.index0 == 0 %}{% set content = bos_token + content %}{% endif %}{{ content }}{% endfor %}{% if add_generation_prompt %}{{ '<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n' }}{% endif %}"
And this is the Llama 3.1 chat template.
