RoLlama3.1 is a family of pretrained and fine-tuned generative text models for Romanian. This is the repository for the instruct 8B model. Links to other models can be found at the bottom of this page.

Model Details

Model Description

OpenLLM-Ro represents the first open-source effort to build a LLM specialized for Romanian. OpenLLM-Ro developed and publicly releases a collection of Romanian LLMs, both in the form of foundational model and instruct and chat variants.

Developed by: OpenLLM-Ro

Language(s): Romanian
License: cc-by-nc-4.0
Finetuned from model: Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
Trained using: RoAlpaca, RoAlpacaGPT4, RoDolly, RoSelfInstruct, RoNoRobots, RoOrca, RoCamel, RoOpenAssistant, RoUltraChat

Intended Use

Intended Use Cases

RoLlama3.1 is intented for research use in Romanian. Base models can be adapted for a variety of natural language tasks while instruction and chat tuned models are intended for assistant-like chat.

Out-of-Scope Use

Use in any manner that violates the license, any applicable laws or regluations, use in languages other than Romanian.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OpenLLM-Ro/RoLlama3.1-8b-Instruct-2024-10-09")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("OpenLLM-Ro/RoLlama3.1-8b-Instruct-2024-10-09")

instruction = "Ce jocuri de societate pot juca cu prietenii mei?"
chat = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "Ești un asistent folositor, respectuos și onest. Încearcă să ajuți cât mai mult prin informațiile oferite, excluzând răspunsuri toxice, rasiste, sexiste, periculoase și ilegale."},
        {"role": "user", "content": instruction},
        ]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, system_message="")

inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
