Introducing SauerkrautLM-v1 - Your German Language Powerhouse!
We are thrilled to unveil our very first release, SauerkrautLM-v1. This remarkable creation marks a significant milestone as it is specifically tailored for the German-speaking community. In a landscape where German language models are scarce, we are proud to offer a solution that fills this void. What sets SauerkrautLM-v1 apart is its versatility. Whether you are an individual looking to harness its capabilities for personal use or a business seeking to integrate it into your projects, our model is designed to accommodate all. It operates under the Apache 2.0 License, providing you with the freedom to explore its potential in both private and commercial applications. Performance is at the heart of SauerkrautLM-v1. We put it to the test using a customized version of MT-Bench for the German language, and the results speak volumes. It currently stands as the most robust German Language Model on Hugging Face (based on german mt-bench results), showcasing its exceptional capabilities. Rest assured, this model is here to shine and set new standards. And the best thing is it comes in four different sizes (3B, 7B, 13B, 70B) to address your individual needs. Our model's journey began with meticulous training using an augmented dataset within the QLoRA approach. This is just the beginning of our model series, promising even more innovative and powerful solutions in the future.
Join us on this exciting adventure as we redefine the possibilities of language modeling for the German-speaking world. SauerkrautLM-v1 is here to empower your language-related endeavors like never before.

Model Details
SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO
Training Dataset:
SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO-multilingual was trained with mix of German data augmentation and translated data. We found, that only a simple translation of training data can lead to unnatural German phrasings. Data augmentation techniques were used to grant grammatical, syntactical correctness and a more natural German wording in our training data.
Merge Procedure:
SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO was merged on 1 A100 with mergekit. The merged model contains OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B and Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca We used the gradient slurp technique.
- Model Type: SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO is an auto-regressive language model based on the transformer architecture
- Language(s): English
- License: APACHE 2.0
