# BayLing: Bridging Cross-lingual Alignment and Instruction Following through Interactive Translation for Large Language Models

**BayLing** (**百聆**, **bǎi líng**) is an instruction-following LLM equipped with advanced language alignment, showing superior capability in English/Chinese generation, instruction following and multi-turn interaction. BayLing can be  effortlessly deployed on a consumer-grade GPU with 16GB of memory, and assists users with tasks such as translation, writing, creation, suggestion...

**This model is the version 1.1 of BayLing-13B.**

Compared with [BayLing-13B-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/ICTNLP/bayling-13b-diff), **BayLing-13B-v1.1 is additionally injected with extensive Chinese knowledge**.
