+ # Tamil LLaMA 7B Base v0.1 [pre-trained]
9
+
10
+ Welcome to the inaugural release of the Tamil LLaMA 7B base model – an important step in advancing LLMs for the Tamil language. This model is ready for immediate inference and is also primed for further fine-tuning to cater to your specific NLP tasks.
11
+
12
+ To dive deep into the development and capabilities of this model, please read the [research paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/) and the [introductory blog post](https://intro.com) that outlines our journey and the model's potential impact.
13
+
14
+ > **Please Note:** This model, labeled as a foundational Tamil Language Model (LLM), is designed primarily for Causal Language Modeling (LM) purposes. In other words, if you are looking for an instruction following model in Tamil, you may find [abhinand/tamil-llama-7b-instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/abhinand/tamil-llama-7b-instruct-v0.1) more suitable for your needs.

+ ## Usage Note
31
+
32
+ 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.
