## Model Details  
BLOOM-zh is a language model with enhanced Traditional Chinese capability. It is derived from [BLOOMZ](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloomz). 
BLOOM-zh is trained extendedly on large amount of Traditional Chinese text data.

## Training Data
*This section provides a high-level overview of the training data. It is relevant for anyone who wants to know the basics of what the model is learning.*
    
We trained the 1B1 parameter model on a total of 6 Billion tokens of mostly high quality Traditional Chinese text. Details are provided in the [paper](https://arxiv.org/).

## Risks and Limitations
*This section identifies foreseeable harms and misunderstandings.*
    
For risks and limitations, please refer to [BLOOM](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom-1b1#risks-and-limitations).

### Factors 
*This section lists some different aspects of BLOOM models. Its focus is on those aspects that are likely to give rise to high variance in model behavior.*

- The model is trained on Traditional Chinese and English. However, the pretrained weights capture more than 40 different languages.

- The model is trained on web crawled data, news articles, novels, knowledge sources (encyclopedia, education sector) and instructions


## Recommendations

*This section provides information on warnings and potential mitigations.*

For recommendations, please refer to [BLOOM](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom-1b1#recommendations).
