# Suzume

This Suzume 8B, a Japanese finetune of Llama 3.

Llama 3 has exhibited excellent performance on many English language benchmarks. 
However, it also seemingly been finetuned on mostly English data, meaning that it will respond in English, even if prompted in Japanese.

We have fine-tuned Llama 3 on almost 3,000 Japanese conversations meaning that this model has the smarts of Llama 3 but has the added ability to chat in Japanese.

Please feel free to comment on this model and give us feedback in the Community tab!

# How to use

You can use the original trained model with vLLM like so:

```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)

llm = LLM(model="lightblue/suzume-llama-3-8B-japanese")

prompts = [
  "東京のおすすめの観光スポットを教えて下さい",
]

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
```

# Evaluation scores

We find that this is the best performing model in the 7/8B class of LLMs on a multitude of Japanese language benchmarks.

# Training data

We train on three sources of data to create this model

* [megagonlabs/instruction_ja](https://github.com/megagonlabs/instruction_ja) - 669 conversations
    * A hand-edited dataset of nearly 700 conversations taken originally from translations of the [kunishou/hh-rlhf-49k-ja](https://huggingface.co/datasets/kunishou/hh-rlhf-49k-ja) dataset.
* [openchat/openchat_sharegpt4_dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/openchat/openchat_sharegpt4_dataset/resolve/main/sharegpt_gpt4.json) (Japanese conversations only) - 167 conversations
    * Conversations taken from humans talking to GPT-4
* lightblue/tagengo-gpt4 (Japanese prompts only) (Link coming soon!) - 2,482 conversations
    * Almost 2,500 diverse Japanese prompts sampled from [lmsys/lmsys-chat-1m](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmsys/lmsys-chat-1m) and then used to prompt `gpt-4-0125-preview`
