We introduce 🐙 MathOctopus, a series of open-source large language models (LLMs) specifically tailored for multilingual math problem-solving. The MathOctopus models are trained on 🤗 MGSM8KInstruct Dataset, encompassing ten distinct languages. MathOctopus notably outperforms conventional open-source LLMs and exhibits superiority over ChatGPT in few-shot scenarios.
