IlaAI-v3 🌱

Earth · Crop · Intelligence

An open-source Agricultural AI for Bharat's Farmers

🌾 What is IlaAI?

IlaAI (इला — Sanskrit for "the earth that gives") is an open-source LLM series built specifically for Indian agriculture. Our mission is simple — give every farmer in India access to expert agricultural advice, for free, in their own language.

"For the hands that feed a billion 🌾"

🏆 What's New in v3?

IlaAI-v3 is our biggest leap yet — trained on real farmer data from India's Kisan Call Center (KCC).

🏆 Best val loss ever — 0.598
🌾 175,000+ real farmer Q&A pairs from KCC
🗣️ Telugu support (experimental)
⚡ Fast responses with enable_thinking=False
🇮🇳 India-specific — real crops, real problems, real solutions

📊 How v3 Compares

Feature	v1	v1.1	v3
Dataset	Synthetic 96K	Thinking 100K	Real KCC 175K
Val Loss	0.695	0.821	0.598
English	✅ Good	✅ Better	✅ Excellent
Hindi	❌ Weak	⚠️ Basic	✅ Good
Telugu	❌ None	❌ None	⚠️ Experimental
Real Farmer Data	❌	❌	✅
Thinking Disabled	❌	❌	✅
Response Speed	Slow	Slow	Fast

🌾 About the KCC Dataset

The Kisan Call Center (KCC) is a Government of India initiative launched in 2004. Farmers across India call a toll-free number (1800-180-1551) to get expert advice on agriculture. Every call is logged — the farmer's question and the expert's answer.

This dataset contains 175,000+ real farmer questions with expert answers, covering:

Crop diseases and pest management
Fertilizer and pesticide recommendations
Irrigation and water management
Government schemes and subsidies
Market prices and crop selection
Region-specific advice across all Indian states

Training on this data means IlaAI speaks like a real agricultural expert — because it learned from real agricultural experts. 🌱

🚀 Quick Start

from mlx_lm import load, generate
from mlx_lm.sample_utils import make_sampler

model, tokenizer = load("Ila-AI/IlaAI-v3")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are IlaAI, an expert agricultural assistant for Indian farmers. Always respond in the same language the user writes in. Be concise, practical and helpful."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "My wheat crop has yellow spots on leaves. What should I do?"}
]

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=False,
    enable_thinking=False  # Always add this for fast responses!
)

sampler = make_sampler(temp=0.3, top_p=0.9)
response = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=text, max_tokens=500, sampler=sampler, verbose=True)

⚡ Important — Always Disable Thinking Mode

text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=False,
    enable_thinking=False  # Critical! Always add this.
)

Without enable_thinking=False, the model wastes tokens on internal reasoning and responses are slower and lower quality.
