# Instruction-fine-tuned German language model (6B parameters)

Base model: [malteos/bloom-6b4-clp-german](https://huggingface.co/malteos/bloom-6b4-clp-german) [(Ostendorff and Rehm, 2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.09626)

Trained on:
- 20B additional German tokens
- [OpenAssistant/oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1) (German subset)
- [LEL-A/translated_german_alpaca_validation](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LEL-A/translated_german_alpaca_validation)
- [LEL-A's version of deepset/germandpr](https://github.com/LEL-A/EuroInstructProject#instruct-germandpr-dataset-v1-german)
