We conduct continual pre-training of meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B on 22B tokens from a mixture of Japanese and English datasets. The continual pre-training significantly improves the model's performance on Japanese tasks.

The name youko comes from the Japanese word 妖狐/ようこ/Youko, which is a kind of Japanese mythical creature (妖怪/ようかい/Youkai).

Library

The model was trained using code based on EleutherAI/gpt-neox.
Model architecture

A 32-layer, 4096-hidden-size transformer-based language model. Refer to the Llama 3 Model Card for architecture details.
Training: Built with Meta Llama 3

The model was initialized with the meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B model and continually trained on around 22B tokens from a mixture of the following corpora
- Japanese CC-100
- Japanese C4
- Japanese OSCAR
- The Pile
- Wikipedia
- rinna curated Japanese dataset
Contributors
- Koh Mitsuda
- Kei Sawada

How to use the model

python

import transformers
import torch

model_id = "rinna/llama-3-youko-8b"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto"
)
output = pipeline(
    "西田幾多郎は、",
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=True
)
print(output)

Tokenization

The model uses the original meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B tokenizer.
