Tamil LLaMA 7B Instruct v0.1

Welcome to the inaugural release of the Tamil LLaMA 7B instruct model – an important step in advancing LLMs for the Tamil language. This model is ready for immediate inference and is also primed for further fine-tuning to cater to your specific NLP tasks.

To dive deep into the development and capabilities of this model, please read the research paper and the introductory blog post (WIP) that outlines our journey and the model's potential impact.

Model description

The Tamil LLaMA models have been enhanced and tailored specifically with an extensive Tamil vocabulary of 16,000 tokens, building upon the foundation set by the original LLaMA-2.

Model type: A 7B parameter GPT-like model fine-tuned on Tamil-Alpaca-Orca - a mix of Tamil-translated Stanford-Alpaca and a subset of OpenOrca datasets.
Language(s): Tamil and English
License: GNU General Public License v3.0
Finetuned from model: abhinand/tamil-llama-7b-base-v0.1
Training Precision: float16
Code: GitHub

Usage Note

It's important to note that the models have not undergone detoxification. Therefore, while they possess impressive linguistic capabilities, there is a possibility for them to generate content that could be deemed harmful or offensive. We urge users to exercise discretion and supervise the model's outputs closely, especially in public or sensitive applications.
