Code Examples
pip install replicateREPLICATE_API_TOKENmicrosoft/phi-3-mini-128k-instructReplicate 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.
import replicate
# reads REPLICATE_API_TOKEN from env
# microsoft/phi-3-mini-128k-instruct format: "owner/model-name" (latest version) or "owner/model-name:version-hash"
output = replicate.run(
"microsoft/phi-3-mini-128k-instruct",
input={"prompt": "Hello"}
)
# Output is a list or generator depending on the model
print("".join(output))Pricing on Replicate API

About Phi-3 Mini 128K
Phi-3 Mini-128K-Instruct, developed by Microsoft, is a 3.8 billion-parameter large language model renowned for its lightweight, open-source architecture. Despite its modest size, it excels in reasoning tasks, particularly in math and logic, and showcases strong code generation capabilities. A standout feature is its remarkable ability to handle up to 128,000 tokens, allowing it to process extensive text documents and codebases efficiently. While it has limitations in factual knowledge and focuses primarily on English, it strikes a balance between performance and efficiency, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments.
