Bangla LLaMA-3 8B Base v0.1 [pre-trained]

Welcome to the inaugural release of the Bangla LLaMA-3 8B instruct model finetuned with BanglaLLM/bangla-alpaca-orca dataset on Bangla LLaMA-3 8B instruct model (see below in the list) – an important step in advancing LLMs for the Bangla language. This model is ready for immediate inference and is also primed for further fine-tuning to cater to your specific NLP tasks.

Please Note: This model, labeled as a foundational Bangla Language Model (LLM), is designed primarily for Causal Language Modeling (LM) purposes. In other words, if you are looking for an instruction following model in Bangla, you may find BanglaLLM/Bangla-llama-7b-instruct-v0.1 more suitable for your needs.

Model description

The Bangla LLaMA models have been enhanced and tailored specifically with an extensive Bangla vocabulary of 16,000 tokens, building upon the foundation set by the original LLaMA-2.

  • Model type: A 8B parameter model for Causal LM pre-trained on Wikimedia/Wikipedia dataset's Bangla subset.
  • Language(s): Bangla and English
  • License: GNU General Public License v3.0
  • Source Model: meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B
  • Training Precision: float16
  • Code: GitHub

Usage Note

It's important to note that the models have not undergone detoxification. Therefore, while they possess impressive linguistic capabilities, there is a possibility for them to generate content that could be deemed harmful or offensive. We urge users to exercise discretion and supervise the model's outputs closely, especially in public or sensitive applications.
