	# Model Details

	BLOOM is an autoregressive Large Language Model (LLM), trained to continue text from a prompt on vast amounts of text data using industrial-scale computational resources. As such, it is able to output coherent text in 46 languages and 13 programming languages that is hardly distinguishable from text written by humans. BLOOM can also be instructed to perform text tasks it hasn't been explicitly trained for, by casting them as text generation tasks.

	- Spam generation

	- Disinformation and influence operations

	- Disparagement and defamation

	- Harassment and abuse

	- [Deception](#deception)

	- Unconsented impersonation and imitation

	- Unconsented surveillance

	- Generating content without attribution to the model, as specified in the [RAIL License, Use Restrictions](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigscience/license)

	## Intended Users

	### Direct Users

	- General Public

	- Researchers

	- Students

	- Educators

	- Engineers/developers

	- Non-commercial entities

	- Community advocates, including human and civil rights groups

	### Indirect Users

	- Users of derivatives created by Direct Users, such as those using software with an [intended use](#intended-use)

	- Users of [Derivatives of the Model, as described in the License](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigscience/license)

	### Others Affected (Parties Prenantes)

	- People and groups referred to by the LLM

	- People and groups exposed to outputs of, or decisions based on, the LLM

	- Indirect users should be made aware when the content they're working with is created by the LLM.

	- Users should be aware of [Risks and Limitations](#risks-and-limitations), and include an appropriate age disclaimer or blocking interface as necessary.

	- Models trained or finetuned downstream of BLOOM LM should include an updated Model Card.

	- Users of the model should provide mechanisms for those affected to provide feedback, such as an email address for comments.

	# Glossary and Calculations

	This section defines common terms and how metrics are calculated.
	<details>
	<summary>Click to expand</summary>

	- <a name="loss">Loss:</a> A calculation of the difference between what the model has learned and what the data shows ("groundtruth"). The lower the loss, the better. The training process aims to minimize the loss.

	- <a name="perplexity">Perplexity:</a> This is based on what the model estimates the probability of new data is. The lower the perplexity, the better. If the model is 100% correct at predicting the next token it will see, then the perplexity is 1. Mathematically this is calculated using entropy.

	- <a name="high-stakes">High-stakes settings:</a> Such as those identified as "high-risk AI systems" and "unacceptable risk AI systems" in the European Union's proposed [Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act](https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/annexes/).

	- <a name="critical-decisions">Critical decisions:</a> Such as those defined in [the United States' proposed Algorithmic Accountability Act](https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/s3572/BILLS-117s3572is.pdf).

	- <a name="human-rights">Human rights:</a> Includes those rights defined in the [Universal Declaration of Human Rights](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf).

	- <a name="personal-data-and-information">Personal Data and Personal Information:</a> Personal data and information is defined in multiple data protection regulations, such as "[personal data](https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/personal-data/)" in the [European Union's General Data Protection Regulation](https://gdpr-info.eu); and "personal information" in the Republic of South Africa's [Protection of Personal Information Act](https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/3706726-11act4of2013popi.pdf), The People's Republic of China's [Personal information protection law](http://en.npc.gov.cn.cdurl.cn/2021-12/29/c_694559.htm).

	- <a name="sensitive-characteristics">Sensitive characteristics:</a> This includes specifically protected categories in human rights (see [UHDR, Article 2](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf)) and personal information regulation (see GDPR, [Article 9; Protection of Personal Information Act, Chapter 1](https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/3706726-11act4of2013popi.pdf))

	- <a name="deception">Deception:</a> Doing something to intentionally mislead individuals to believe something that is false, such as by creating deadbots or chatbots on social media posing as real people, or generating text documents without making consumers aware that the text is machine generated.

	## Intermediate checkpoints

	For academic (or any) usage, we published the intermediate checkpoints, corresponding to the model state at each 5000 steps. Please follow [this link](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom-176-intermediate) to get these checkpoints.


	## Dataset Creation

	## Lessons

	Insights on how to approach training, negative results: https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/bigscience/blob/master/train/lessons-learned.md

	Details on the obstacles overcome during the preparation on the engineering side (instabilities, optimization of training throughput, so many technical tricks and questions): https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/bigscience/blob/master/train/tr11-176B-ml/chronicles.md

	## Initial Results

	## Original checkpoints

	The checkpoints in this repo correspond to the HuggingFace Transformers format. If you want to use our fork of [Megatron-DeepSpeed](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/Megatron-DeepSpeed) that the model was trained with, you'd want to use [this repo instead](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom-optimizer-states).

	Many intermediate checkpoints are available at https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom-intermediate/
