+# Dicta-LM 3.0: Advancing The Frontier of Hebrew Sovereign LLMs 
+
+Dicta-LM 3.0 is a powerful open-weight collection of LLMs, trained on extensive corpora of Hebrew and English texts. The models are available for download and for unlimited use. The models set a new SOTA for their weight-class for Hebrew, both as base models and chat models.
+
+This is the 1.7-billion-parameter instruct model, originally initialized from [Qwen3-1.7B-Base](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base).
+
+This version of the model is dynamically quantized to FP8, utilizing the Hopper and Blackwell architectures for faster inference with a lower memory footprint. This model can run with <4GB of VRAM.
+
+For full details of this model please read our [release blog post](https://dicta.org.il/dicta-lm-3) or the [technical report](https://www.dicta.org.il/publications/DictaLM_3_0___Techincal_Report.pdf).
+
+You can view and access the full collection of base/instruct unquantized/quantized versions of `DictaLM 3.0` [here](https://huggingface.co/collections/dicta-il/dictalm-30-collection).
+
+## Instruction format
+
+In order to leverage instruction fine-tuning, your prompt should be rendered using the chat template specified for this model. Most libraries deal with this automatically, so you can just let them do it. 
+
+## Usage
+
+### vLLM
+
+```bash
+vllm serve dicta-il/DictaLM-3.0-1.7B-Instruct-FP8 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser hermes
+```
+
+And then you can access it via the openai library:
+
+```python
+from openai import OpenAI
+
+client = OpenAI(
+    base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1",
+    api_key="sk-no-key-required"
+)
+
+response = client.chat.completions.create(
+    model="dicta-il/DictaLM-3.0-1.7B-Instruct-FP8",
+    messages=[
+        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}
+    ],
+)
+
+print(response.choices[0].message.content)
+```
+
+The model supports tool-calling, enabling integration with external tools and APIs. For example how to use the tool calling, see the [vLLM documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/features/tool_calling/#tool-calling).
