# Llama3-DiscoLeo-Instruct 8B (version 0.1)
## Thanks and Accreditation
[DiscoResearch/Llama3-DiscoLeo-Instruct-8B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/collections/DiscoResearch/discoleo-8b-llama3-for-german-6650527496c0fafefd4c9729)
is the result of a joint effort between [DiscoResearch](https://huggingface.co/DiscoResearch) and [Occiglot](https://huggingface.co/occiglot)
with support from the [DFKI](https://www.dfki.de/web/) (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) and [hessian.Ai](https://hessian.ai).
Occiglot kindly handled data preprocessing, filtering, and deduplication as part of their latest [dataset release](https://huggingface.co/datasets/occiglot/occiglot-fineweb-v0.5), as well as sharing their compute allocation at hessian.Ai's 42 Supercomputer.
## Model Overview
Llama3_DiscoLeo_Instruct_8B_v0 is an instruction tuned version of our [Llama3-German-8B](https://huggingface.co/DiscoResearch/Llama3_German_8B).
The base model was derived from [Meta's Llama3-8B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B) through continuous pretraining on 65 billion high-quality German tokens, similar to previous [LeoLM](https://huggingface.co/LeoLM) or [Occiglot](https://huggingface.co/collections/occiglot/occiglot-eu5-7b-v01-65dbed502a6348b052695e01) models.
We finetuned this checkpoint on the German Instruction dataset from DiscoResearch created by [Jan-Philipp Harries](https://huggingface.co/jphme) and [Daniel Auras](https://huggingface.co/rasdani) ([DiscoResearch](https://huggingface.co/DiscoResearch), [ellamind](https://ellamind.com)).
## How to use
Llama3_DiscoLeo_Instruct_8B_v0.1 uses the [Llama-3 chat template](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3?tab=readme-ov-file#instruction-tuned-models), which can be easily used with [transformer's chat templating](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/chat_templating).
See [below](https://huggingface.co/DiscoResearch/Llama3_DiscoLeo_Instruct_8B_v0.1#usage-example) for a usage example.
## Model Training and Hyperparameters
The model was full-fintuned with axolotl on the [hessian.Ai 42](hessian.ai) with 8192 context-length, learning rate 2e-5 and batch size of 16.
## Evaluation and Results
We evaluated the model using a suite of common English Benchmarks and their German counterparts with [GermanBench](https://github.com/bjoernpl/GermanBenchmark).
In the below image and corresponding table, you can see the benchmark scores for the different instruct models compared to Metas instruct version. All checkpoints are available in this [collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/DiscoResearch/discoleo-8b-llama3-for-german-6650527496c0fafefd4c9729).

## Usage Example
Here's how to use the model with transformers:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch
device="cuda"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"DiscoResearch/Llama3-DiscoLeo-Instruct-8B-v0.1",
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("DiscoResearch/Llama3-DiscoLeo-Instruct-8B-v0.1")
prompt = "Schreibe ein Essay über die Bedeutung der Energiewende für Deutschlands Wirtschaft"
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "Du bist ein hilfreicher Assistent."},
{"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(device)
generated_ids = model.generate(
model_inputs.input_ids,
max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
```
