All the English instructions existing in the V1 of the dataset were discarded and replaced with high quality instructions scored with RLHFlow/ArmoRM-Llama3-8B-v0.1 reward model.

The model shows improved proficiency with the Catalan language while performing significantly better than CataLlama-v0.1 on all tasks.

This is an instruction fine-tuned model proficient on the following tasks in Catalan

Information extraction (suitable for RAG)
Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Translation from English to Catalan and Catalan to English
Summarization - both short form and long form
Sentiment analysis
Chat

Model developers Laurentiu Petrea based on Llama-3 from Meta.

Model Architecture CataLlama is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. The tuned versions use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimisation (DPO) to align with human preferences for helpfulness and safety.

License The model uses the llama-3 license available at: https://llama.meta.com/llama3/license

Use with transformers

See the snippet below for usage with Transformers:

The model follows the same prompt template as Llama-3 Instruct

python

import transformers
import torch

model_id = "catallama/CataLlama-v0.2-Instruct-SFT"

pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Ei com estàs avui?"},
]

prompt = pipeline.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, 
    tokenize=False, 
    add_generation_prompt=True
)

outputs = pipeline(
    prompt,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.6,
    top_p=0.9,
)

print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][len(prompt):])

Training procedure

The model was trained with the same prompt template of Llama-3 Instruct.

The model was trained for two epochs on 8x A100 80GB GPUs using DeepSpeed ZeRO State-3 without CPU offloading.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

learning_rate: 2e-05
distributed_type: multi-GPU
num_devices: 8
optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
lr_scheduler_type: cosine
lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 100
num_epochs: 2

Intended Use

Note: This model is not intended to beat benchmarks, but to demonstrate techniques for augmenting LLMs on new languages and preserve rare languages as part of our world heritage.

Intended Use Cases Llama 3 is intended for commercial and research use in English. Instruction tuned models are intended for assistant-like chat, whereas pretrained models can be adapted for a variety of natural language generation tasks.

Out-of-scope Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws). Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Llama 3 Community License. Use in languages other than English**.

**Note: Developers may fine-tune Llama 3 models for languages beyond English provided they comply with the Llama 3 Community License and the Acceptable Use Policy.
