## Training Data

The model has been fine-tuned on the InsuranceQA dataset using LoRA (8 bit), which contains insurance-specific question-answer pairs and domain knowledge.
trainable params: 20.97M || all params: 8.05B || trainable %: 0.26%
```bash
LoraConfig(
  r=8,
  lora_alpha=32,
  lora_dropout=0.05,
  bias="none",
  task_type="CAUSAL_LM",
  target_modules=['up_proj', 'down_proj', 'gate_proj', 'k_proj', 'q_proj', 'v_proj', 'o_proj']
)
```

## Model Architecture

The model uses the Llama 3 architecture with the following key components:
- 8B parameter configuration
- Enhanced attention mechanisms from Llama 3
- ChatQA 1.5 instruction-tuning framework
- Insurance domain-specific adaptations

## Use Cases

This model is specifically designed for:
- Insurance policy understanding and explanation
- Claims processing assistance
- Coverage analysis
- Insurance terminology clarification
- Policy comparison and recommendations
- Risk assessment queries
- Insurance compliance questions

## Limitations

- The model's knowledge is limited to its training data cutoff
- Should not be used as a replacement for professional insurance advice
- May occasionally generate plausible-sounding but incorrect information

## Bias and Ethics

This model should be used with awareness that:
- It may reflect biases present in insurance industry training data
- Output should be verified by insurance professionals for critical decisions
- It should not be used as the sole basis for insurance decisions
- The model's responses should be treated as informational, not as legal or professional advice
