Llama 3.1 Swallow - Built with Llama

Llama 3.1 Swallow is a series of large language models (8B, 70B) that were built by continual pre-training on the Meta Llama 3.1 models. Llama 3.1 Swallow enhanced the Japanese language capabilities of the original Llama 3.1 while retaining the English language capabilities. We use approximately 200 billion tokens that were sampled from a large Japanese web corpus (Swallow Corpus Version 2), Japanese and English Wikipedia articles, and mathematical and coding contents, etc (see the Training Datasets section of the base model) for continual pre-training. The instruction-tuned models (Instruct) were built by supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on the synthetic data specially built for Japanese. See the Swallow Model Index section to find other model variants.

MT-Bench JA

We used Japanese MT-Bench to assess the capabilities of multi-turn dialogue with the following settings:

Usage 

pip install vllm

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Llama-3.1-Swallow-70B-Instruct-v0.1"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
llm = LLM(
    model=model_name,
    tensor_parallel_size=4,
)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=512, stop="<|eot_id|>"
)


message = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "あなたは誠実で優秀な日本人のアシスタントです。"},
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "東京の紅葉した公園で、東京タワーと高層ビルを背景に、空を舞うツバメと草地に佇むラマが出会う温かな物語を書いてください。",
    },
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    message, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)

output = llm.generate(prompt, sampling_params)

print(output[0].outputs[0].text)

Training Datasets

Instruction Tuning

The following datasets were used for the instruction tuning.

  • Japanese
    • lmsys-chat-1m-synth-ja-wo-pii-and-template-instructions
      • Single-turn Japanese instruction dataset synthesized and derived from lmsys-chat-1m [Zhang+, ICLR24]). First-turn user instructions were translated into Japanese via DeepL (machine translation), and assistant responses were generated using Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct. Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct served as a judge for rejection sampling (n=6). Conversations containing personally identifiable information (PII) and template-based user instructions were removed. Duplicate instructions were removed.
      • The dataset is available at tokyotech-llm/lmsys-chat-1m-synth.
    • filtered-magpie-ultra-ja
      • A Japanese variant of the filtered-magpie-ultra-en dataset, translated into Japanese by gemma-2-27b-it.
    • gemma-magpie
      • A Japanese synthetic Q&A dataset from scratch, generated by gemma-2-27b-it. User instructions were created with prompts specific to each topic, and assistant responses were generated for these instructions. The conversations were then heuristically filtered for quality and length.
  • English
    • lmsys-chat-1m-synth-en-wo-pii-and-template-instructions
      • The creation process is similar to lmsys-chat-1m-synth-ja-wo-pii-and-template-instructions, but this version uses the original English user instructions. The assistant responses were generated in English as well. Rejection sampling was not applied for this version.
      • The dataset is available at tokyotech-llm/lmsys-chat-1m-synth.
    • filtered-magpie-ultra-en

Risks and Limitations

The models released here are still in the early stages of our research and development and have not been tuned to ensure outputs align with human intent and safety considerations.
