+# Bangla LLaMA 8B Bangla2B Instruct v0.1 [finetune]
+
+Welcome to the inaugural release of the Bangla LLaMA 8B unolp-culturax instruct model – an important step in advancing LLMs for the Bangla language. This model is ready for immediate inference.
+
+> **Please Note:** This model, labeled as a foundational Bangla Language Model (LLM), is designed primarily for Causal Language Modeling (LM) purposes. 
+
+## 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-3.
+
+- **Model type:** A 8B parameter model for Causal LM pre-trained on unolp/culturax dataset.
+- **Language(s):** Bangla and English
+- **License:** GNU General Public License v3.0
+- **Source Model:** [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B)
+- **Training Precision:** `float16`
+- **Code:** [GitHub](https://github.com/abhinand5/bangla-llama)

+## 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.
