# LLaMA 3 8B - Seed-Free Synthetic Instruct (F+C+D+)

This model is the result of fine-tuning LLaMA 3 8B using our novel seed-free synthetic instruction dataset for Thai. It represents the outcome of our research "Seed-Free Synthetic Data Generation Framework for Instruction-Tuning LLMs: A Case Study in Thai" submitted to ACL SRW 2024.



## Model Details

- **Base Model**: LLaMA 3 8B
- **Fine-tuning Dataset**: Seed-Free Synthetic Instruct Thai v1 (F+C+D+)
- **Training Corpus Size**: 5,000 instructions
- **Languages**: Primarily Thai, with potential for English and other languages supported by LLaMA 3

## Intended Use

This model is designed for:
- Thai language understanding and generation
- Instruction following in Thai
- General language tasks with a focus on Thai cultural context

It can be used for research purposes, to power Thai language applications, or as a baseline for further fine-tuning on specific Thai language tasks.

## Performance and Limitations

### Strengths

- Comparable performance to state-of-the-art Thai LLMs (e.g., WangchanX, OpenThaiGPT)
- Second-highest BERTScore on both Thai Culture and General Test Sets
- Efficient performance achieved with only 5,000 instructions
- Strong understanding of Thai cultural context

### Limitations

- Performance on tasks outside the scope of the fine-tuning dataset may vary
- May exhibit biases present in the synthetic dataset or the base LLaMA 3 model
- Not extensively tested for factual accuracy or potential harmful outputs

## Training Procedure

- **Fine-tuning Framework**: [axolotl](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl)
- **Training Data**: Seed-Free Synthetic Instruct Thai v1 (F+C+D+), generated using our novel framework

## Evaluation Results

The model was evaluated on various Thai language tasks, including:
- Thai Culture Test Set
- General Test Set

## Ethical Considerations

While efforts have been made to incorporate diverse and culturally appropriate content, users should be aware of potential biases in the model outputs. The model should not be used as a sole source of factual information, especially for critical applications.
