Jais-13b-chat

This is a 13 billion parameter fine-tuned bilingual large language model for both Arabic and English. It is based on transformer-based decoder-only (GPT-3) architecture and uses SwiGLU non-linearity. It implements ALiBi position embeddings, enabling the model to extrapolate to long sequence lengths, providing improved context handling and model precision.

Jais-13b-chat is Jais-13b fine-tuned over a curated set of 4 million Arabic and 6 million English prompt-response pairs. We further fine-tune our model with safety-oriented instruction, as well as providing extra guardrails in the form of a safety prompt. Our pre-trained model, Jais-13b, is trained on 116 billion Arabic tokens and 279 billion English tokens.

The combination of the largest curated Arabic and English instruction tuning dataset along with the addition of multi-turn conversations allows the model to converse in a variety of topics, with a particular focus on the Arab world.

Getting started

Below is sample code to use the model. Note that the model requires a custom model class, so users must enable trust_remote_code=True while loading the model. In order to get the same performance as our testing, a specific prompt needs to be followed. Below is the sample code containing this formatting:

Intended Use

We release the jais-13b-chat model under a full open source license. We welcome all feedback and opportunities to collaborate.

This model is the first release from the Inception - MBZUAI - Cerebras parternship, and at the time of release, achieved state of the art across a comprehensive Arabic test suite as described in the accompanying tech report. Some potential downstream uses include:

Research: This model can be used by researchers and developers.
Commercial Use: Jais-13b-chat can be directly used for chat with suitable prompting or further fine-tuned for specific use cases. Some potential use cases include:
- Chat-assistants.
- Customer service.

Audiences that we hope will benefit from our model:

Academics: For those researching Arabic natural language processing.
Businesses: Companies targeting Arabic-speaking audiences.
Developers: Those integrating Arabic language capabilities in apps.

Out-of-Scope Use

While jais-13b-chat is a powerful Arabic and English bilingual model, it's essential to understand its limitations and the potential of misuse. It is prohibited to use the model in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations. The following are some example scenarios where the model should not be used.

Malicious Use: The model should not be used for generating harmful, misleading, or inappropriate content. This includes but is not limited to:
- Generating or promoting hate speech, violence, or discrimination.
- Spreading misinformation or fake news.
- Engaging in or promoting illegal activities.
Sensitive Information: The model should not be used to handle or generate personal, confidential, or sensitive information.
Generalization Across All Languages: Jais-13b is bilingual and optimized for Arabic and English, it should not be assumed to have equal proficiency in other languages or dialects.
High-Stakes Decisions: The model should not be used to make high-stakes decisions without human oversight. This includes medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical decisions.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model is trained on publicly available data which was in part curated by Inception. We have employed different techniqes to reduce bias in the model. While efforts have been made to minimize biases, it is likely that the model, as with all LLM models, will exhibit some bias.

The model is trained as an AI assistant for Arabic and English speakers. The model is limited to produce responses for queries in these two languages and may not produce appropriate responses to other language queries.

By using Jais, you acknowledge and accept that, as with any large language model, it may generate incorrect, misleading and/or offensive information or content. The information is not intended as advice and should not be relied upon in any way, nor are we responsible for any of the content or consequences resulting from its use. We are continuously working to develop models with greater capabilities, and as such, welcome any feedback on the model

Training Details

Training Data

jais-13b-chat model is finetuned with both Arabic and English prompt-response pairs. We included a wide range of instructional data across various domains. In total, our instruction-tuning dataset has 3.8M and 5.9M prompt-response pairs for Arabic and English, respectively. For English, we used publicly available instruction tuning datasets. For Arabic, we internally curated instruction data and augmented it with translated Arabic data.

Further details about the training data can be found in the technical report.

Training Procedure

In instruction tuning, each instance comprises a prompt and its corresponding response. Padding is applied to each instance since, unlike pretraining, finetuning is done with unpacked data. We utilize the same autoregressive objective as employed in the pretraining of the LLM. However, we masked the loss on the prompt i.e. backpropagation is performed only on answer tokens.

The training process was performed on the Condor Galaxy 1 (CG-1) supercomputer platform.

Evaluation

We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of Jais-chat and benchmarked it other leading base language models, focusing on both English and Arabic. The evaluation criteria spanned various dimensions, including:

Knowledge: How well the model answers factual questions.
Reasoning: The model's ability to answer questions requiring reasoning.
Misinformation/Bias: Assessment of the model's susceptibility to generating false or misleading information, and its neutrality.
