# New Version has been released.

2024/03/04  
[webbigdata/C3TR-Adapter](https://huggingface.co/webbigdata/C3TR-Adapter)  
Memory GPU requirement has increased to 8.1 GB. However, it is possible to run it with the free version of Colab and the performance is much improved!  

2023/10/21  
[ALMA-7B-Ja-V2](https://huggingface.co/webbigdata/ALMA-7B-Ja-V2)  
Overall performance has been raised.  

Below is a description of the old version. We urge you to try the newer version above.  

# webbigdata/ALMA-7B-Ja

ALMA-7B-Ja(13.3GB) is a machine translation model that uses ALMA's learning method to translate Japanese to English.  
The [original ALMA-7B (26.95GB)](https://huggingface.co/haoranxu/ALMA-7B) supports English and Russian(ru) translation. This model supports Japanese(ja) and English translations instead of Russian.

Like the original model, This model has been verified that it also has a translation ability between the following languages, but if you want the translation function for these languages, it is better to use the original [ALMA-13B model](https://huggingface.co/haoranxu/ALMA-13B).  

- German(de) and English(en)  
- Chinese(zh) and English(en)  
- Icelandic(is) and English(en)  
- Czech(cs) and English(en)

## Other Version




### webbigdata-ALMA-7B-Ja-gguf

mmnga made llama.cpp(gguf) version [webbigdata-ALMA-7B-Ja-gguf](https://huggingface.co/mmnga/webbigdata-ALMA-7B-Ja-gguf). Thank you!  
llama.cpp is a tool used primarily on Macs, and gguf is its latest version format. It can be used without gpu.

### ALMA-7B-Ja-GPTQ-Ja-En
GPTQ is quantized(reduce the size of the model) method and ALMA-7B-Ja-GPTQ has GPTQ quantized version that reduces model size(3.9GB) and memory usage.  
But the performance is probably lower.  And translation ability for languages other than Japanese and English has deteriorated significantly.

**ALMA** (**A**dvanced **L**anguage **M**odel-based tr**A**nslator) is an LLM-based translation model, which adopts a new translation model paradigm: it begins with fine-tuning on monolingual data and is further optimized using high-quality parallel data. This two-step fine-tuning process ensures strong translation performance.
