**Llama-3-Typhoon-1.5-8B: Thai Large Language Model (Instruct)**

**Llama-3-Typhoon-1.5-8B-instruct** is a *instruct* Thai 🇹🇭 large language model with 8 billion parameters, and it is based on Llama3-8B.

![Typhoon 1.5 8b benchmark](https://storage.googleapis.com/typhoon-public/assets/1.5-8b-benchmark.png)

For release post, please see our [blog](https://blog.opentyphoon.ai/typhoon-1-5-release-a9364cb8e8d7). 
*To acknowledge Meta's effort in creating the foundation model and to comply with the license, we explicitly include "llama-3" in the model name.

## **Model Description**

- **Model type**: A 8B instruct decoder-only model based on Llama architecture.
- **Requirement**: transformers 4.38.0 or newer.
- **Primary Language(s)**: Thai 🇹🇭 and English 🇬🇧
- **License**: [Llama 3 Community License](https://llama.meta.com/llama3/license/)

## Usage Example

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "scb10x/llama-3-typhoon-v1.5-8b-instruct"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant who're always speak Thai."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "ขอสูตรไก่ย่าง"},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_tensors="pt"
).to(model.device)

terminators = [
    tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("<|eot_id|>")
]

outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=512,
    eos_token_id=terminators,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.4,
    top_p=0.9,
)
response = outputs[0][input_ids.shape[-1]:]
print(tokenizer.decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## Chat Template

We use llama3 chat-template.

```python
{% set loop_messages = messages %}{% for message in loop_messages %}{% set content = '<|start_header_id|>' + message['role'] + '<|end_header_id|>\n\n'+ message['content'] | trim + '<|eot_id|>' %}{% if loop.index0 == 0 %}{% set content = bos_token + content %}{% endif %}{{ content }}{% endfor %}{% if add_generation_prompt %}{{ '<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>\n\n' }}{% endif %}
```

## **Intended Uses & Limitations**

This model is an instructional model. However, it’s still undergoing development. It incorporates some level of guardrails, but it still may produce answers that are inaccurate, biased, or otherwise objectionable in response to user prompts. We recommend that developers assess these risks in the context of their use case.
