Request example

import replicate

# reads REPLICATE_API_TOKEN from env
# dolly-2.0-12b format: "owner/model-name" (latest version) or "owner/model-name:version-hash"
output = replicate.run(
    "dolly-2.0-12b",
    input={"prompt": "Hello"}
)
# Output is a list or generator depending on the model
print("".join(output))

Gotchas

Replicate uses "owner/model-name" format (e.g. "meta/meta-llama-3-8b-instruct") for the latest version, or "owner/model-name:version-sha" to pin to a specific version. The REST endpoint splits owner and model-name into the path: /v1/models/{owner}/{model-name}/predictions.
The examples expect REPLICATE_API_TOKEN; rename it only if your application config maps the new variable.

About Dolly 2.0 12B

Dolly 2.0 12B is an instruction-following large language model developed by Databricks. It is built on the Pythia-12b architecture with 12 billion parameters and trained on around 15,000 instruction-response pairs crafted by Databricks employees. This model is adept at handling tasks such as brainstorming, classification, open and closed question answering, text generation, information extraction, and summarization. Despite its versatility, Dolly 2.0 12B is not considered state-of-the-art and struggles with more complex prompts, programming, mathematical tasks, factual accuracy, and nuanced tasks like humor. It is notable for its open-source license, permitting commercial use, though it may carry biases from its training data.
