This is the model card for Gervásio 70B PTPT Decoder quantized at 4 bits.
This model is integrated in the Evaristo.ai chatbot, where its generative capabilities can be experimented with on the fly through a GUI. You may be interested in some of the other models in the Albertina (encoders), Gervásio (decoders) and Serafim (sentence encoder) families.

Gervásio PT* is a fully open decoder for the Portuguese language.

It is a decoder of the LLaMA family, based on the neural architecture Transformer and developed over the LLaMA-3.3 70B instruct model. Its further improvement through additional training was done over language resources that include new instruction data sets of Portuguese prepared for this purpose (extraGLUE-Instruct , NatInst-PTPT, MMLU-PTPT,Wiki-PTPT).

Gervásio 70B PTPT is developed by NLX-Natural Language and Speech Group, at the University of Lisbon, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Informatics, Portugal.

For the record, its full name is Llama 3 é a base para Gervásio Produzir Textos em Português, to which corresponds the natural acronym GPT PT, and which is known more shortly as Gervásio PT* or, even more briefly, just with the nickname Gervásio, among its acquaintances.

Gervásio 70B PTPT is developed by a team from the University of Lisbon, Portugal.

The model in this repository is a version of Gervásio 70B PTPT quantized at 4 bits (Q4_K_M) in GGUF format. The non-quantized version can be found here.

This model card is for Gervásio 70B PTPT quantized at 4 bit. The model has 70 billion parameters, a hidden size of 8,192 units, an intermediate size of 28,672 units, 64 attention heads, 80 hidden layers, and a vocabulary size of 128,000 tokens.

Gervásio 70B PTPT is distributed under an MIT license.

Gervásio 70B PTPT was trained on various datasets, either native to European Portuguese or translated into European Portuguese:

Translated datasets:

We selected only datasets where the outcome of their translation into European Portuguese could preserve, in the target language, the linguistic properties at stake.

From GLUE, we resorted to the following four tasks:

And from SuperGLUE, we included these other four tasks:

Native dataset:

Furthermore, instruction templates have been manually crafted for each task.

Technical report forthcoming

For testing, we evaluate on the translated datasets MRPC (similarity) and RTE (inference), COPA (reasoning/qa), MMLU (question answering), MMLU-Pro (question answering), GPQA-diamond (question answering). The respective scores in the table below were obtained with the 16-bit version.

We also evaluate on the translated DoNotAnswer-PT (answer refusal) and on Tuguesice-PT, specifically created to assess question answering on Portuguese culture. The respective scores in the table below were obtained with the 4-bit version.
