42dot LLM-PLM is a pre-trained language model (PLM) developed by 42dot and is a part of 42dot LLM (large language model). 42dot LLM-PLM is pre-trained using Korean and English text corpus and can be used as a foundation language model for several Korean and English natural language tasks. This repository contains a 1.3B-parameter version of the model.

42dot LLM-PLM is built upon a Transformer decoder architecture similar to the LLaMA 2 and its hyperparameters are listed below.

Pre-training took about 49K GPU hours (NVIDIA A100). Related settings are listed below.

We used a set of publicly available text corpus, including:

The tokenizer is based on the Byte-level BPE algorithm. We trained its vocabulary from scratch using a subset of the pre-training corpus. For constructing a subset, 10M and 10M documents are sampled from Korean and English corpus respectively. The resulting vocabulary sizes about 50K.

We evaluate 42dot LLM-PLM on a variety of academic benchmarks both in Korean and English. All the results are obtained using lm-eval-harness and models released on the Hugging Face Hub.

42dot LLM-PLM shares a number of well-known limitations of other large language models (LLMs). For example, it may generate false and misinformative content since 42dot LLM-PLM is also subject to hallucination. In addition, 42dot LLM-PLM may generate toxic, harmful, and biased content due to the use of web-available training data. We strongly suggest that 42dot LLM-PLM users should be aware of those limitations and take necessary steps to mitigate those issues.
