Cedille AI

Cedille is a project to bring large language models to non-English languages.

fr-boris

Boris is a 6B parameter autoregressive language model based on the GPT-J architecture and trained using the mesh-transformer-jax codebase.

Boris was trained on around 78B tokens of French text from the C4 dataset. We started training from GPT-J, which has been trained on The Pile. As a consequence the model still has good performance in English language. Boris makes use of the unmodified GPT-2 tokenizer.

Boris is named after the great French writer Boris Vian.

How do I test Cedille?

For the time being, the easiest way to test the model is to use our publicly accessible playground.

Cedille is a relatively large model and running it in production can get expensive. Consider contacting us for API access at hello@cedille.ai.

How do I cite Cedille?

Thanks for citing our work in case you build on top of Cedille. For the time being, please reference our work like so:

@misc{cedille2021,
  author = {Laurent, F. and Muller, M.},
  title = {Cedille AI},
  year = {2021},
  publisher = {GitHub},
  journal = {GitHub repository},
  howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/coteries/cedille-ai}}
}
