✅ Recruiter Emails (120-180 words, warm and detailed)
✅ Referral Requests (respectful, appreciative tone)
✅ Personalized Content (connects resume highlights to job requirements)

📊 Model Details

Base Model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
Fine-tuning Method: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
Training Data: 4,091 synthetic examples (resume-job-message triplets)
Training Framework: Hugging Face Transformers + PEFT
Compute: Modal A10G GPU

Performance Improvements (vs Base Model)

📈 40% improvement in message relevance and job-resume alignment
📉 60% reduction in generic phrasing and template-like responses
✨ Consistent professional tone across all message types

🚀 Usage

Quick Start (Inference)

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "GChilukala/llama-3.1-8b-resume-outreach-v1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)

# Prepare prompt
prompt = """

You are an expert at writing personalized, professional outreach messages for job applications. Always return only the final message text, with no explanations.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>

Candidate resume:
[Your resume text here - include name, experience, skills, achievements]

Job posting description:
[Full job posting text here]

Write a concise LinkedIn message to a recruiter about this role.

- Clearly state why the candidate is a strong fit using 1–2 points from the resume.
- Refer to the role and company from the job description.
- End with a polite question about next steps or a short call.<|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>

"""

# Generate
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=200,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.9,
    do_sample=True,
    repetition_penalty=1.15,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)

# Decode
message = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
# Extract only the assistant's response
message = message.split("<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>")[-1].strip()
print(message)

Using the Production API

python

import requests

API_URL = "https://chilukalagayathri--llama-resume-outreach-llamaresume-api.modal.run"

🎨 Example Outputs

Input

Resume: Software Engineer with 2 years at GEICO building LLM pipelines...
Job: Senior ML Engineer at Google Cloud, requires Python, Kubernetes...

Output (LinkedIn DM)

Hi,

I'm excited about the Senior ML Engineer role at Google Cloud. 
With 2 years building production LLM pipelines at GEICO—including 
a 50% latency reduction and 2.5% accuracy improvement on claims 
processing—I have hands-on experience with the exact ML infrastructure 
challenges your team tackles. My Kubernetes deployments and Python 
expertise align directly with your requirements. Would you have 
15 minutes to discuss how my background could support Google Cloud's 
AI initiatives?

Best regards

⚠️ Limitations

Hallucination Risk: May occasionally generate plausible but incorrect details
Resume Quality Dependent: Output quality relies on clear, detailed resume input
Generic for Incomplete Inputs: Vague job descriptions produce less personalized messages
Length Adherence: May occasionally exceed/fall short of word count targets
Context Window: Limited to ~2048 tokens (resume + job posting + instructions)

Recommendations

✅ Always review and personalize generated messages before sending
✅ Provide detailed resumes with specific metrics and achievements
✅ Include complete job postings for best results
✅ Test different temperature values (0.5-0.9) for style preferences
