Gemma 2B Tamil v0.1 Alpha [Experimental Release]
This is a Tamil instruction finetuned version of Google's Gemma 2B model. This is an experiment to see if Gemma can be adapted for Tamil without expanding vocabulary. While the responses may be rusty at times, it shows a lot of promise for a 2B parameter model.
Procedure:
- The Gemma base model was continually pretrained on all available Tamil Wikipedia data for 3 epochs.
- The updated model was then finetuned on a mix of English and Tamil alpaca datasets for 5 epochs.
Note: This project is currently under development (FOR TAMIL). The initial pretraining phase may not have been extensive enough, which suggests that the model's performance could improve by extending the pretraining on a larger dataset, such as CulturaX.
🏆 Benchmarks
This model outperforms Google's Gemma 2B base and instruct models on all benchmarks in Nous evaluation suite. It also surprisingly outperforms mlabonne/Gemmalpaca-2B (the best performing 2B model in benchmarks as of Feb 25, 2024) despite being a model aimed at language adaptation.

Usage Note
It's important to note that the models have not undergone detoxification. Therefore, while they possess impressive linguistic capabilities, there is a possibility for them to generate content that could be deemed harmful or offensive. We urge users to exercise discretion and supervise the model's outputs closely, especially in public or sensitive applications.
