MalayaLLM [മലയാളം/Malayalam]

MalayaLLM_7B_Instruct_v0.2

This is an attempt to construct a Language Model (LLM) focused on generative AI for Malayalam language. While several LLMs are proficient in supporting multiple languages, including Malayalam, enhancing their performance for specific tasks such as content generation and question answering specifically in Malayalam can be achieved through dedicated training on a Malayalam dataset. In pursuit of this, I've undertaken the continuous pre-training of the LLAMA2 model using a comprehensive Malayalam dataset.

The model is currently in its early stages, and ongoing training and fine-tuning with a more comprehensive dataset are necessary to enhance its performance. I will consistently provide updated revisions to the model.

A simple example code

import os
import torch
from transformers import (
    AutoModelForCausalLM,
    AutoTokenizer,
    pipeline,
)
model_name = "VishnuPJ/MalayaLLM_7B_Instruct_v0.2"
print(f"Loading model...")
# Load base model
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    return_dict=True,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token
tokenizer.padding_side = "right"

pipe = pipeline(task="text-generation", model=base_model, tokenizer=tokenizer, max_length=200)
sys_prompt = "ഒരു ടാസ്ക് വിവരിക്കുന്ന ഒരു നിർദ്ദേശം ചുവടെയുണ്ട്. അഭ്യർത്ഥന ശരിയായി പൂർത്തിയാക്കുന്ന ഒരു പ്രതികരണം എഴുതുക."

while True:
    inst = input("Enter instruction (or 'exit' to end): ")
    if inst.lower() == 'exit':
        break
    # Generate response using the user-provided instruction
    result = pipe(f"{sys_prompt} ### Instruction: {inst} ### Response:")
    # Print the generated text
    print(result[0]['generated_text'])

Example Output

Enter instruction (or 'exit' to end): സൂര്യൻ ഉദിക്കുന്ന ദിശ ഏതെന്നു പറയുക .
ഒരു ടാസ്ക് വിവരിക്കുന്ന ഒരു നിർദ്ദേശം ചുവടെയുണ്ട്. അഭ്യർത്ഥന ശരിയായി പൂർത്തിയാക്കുന്ന ഒരു പ്രതികരണം എഴുതുക. ### Instruction: സൂര്യൻ ഉദിക്കുന്ന ദിശ ഏതെന്നു പറയുക . ### Response: സൂര്യൻ ഉദിക്കുന്ന ദിശ കിഴക്കായിരിക്കും.
Enter instruction (or 'exit' to end): Where does the Sun rise?

Demo Video

Below is a brief video highlighting the model's bilingual ability to converse in both Malayalam and English. In this demonstration, I utilize Google's transliteration tool to seamlessly translate from Manglish to Malayalam. Subsequently, I copied the translated text into the prompt console for further interaction.
