Uses
Teuken-7B-instruct-commercial-v0.4 is intended for commercial and research use in all official 24 European languages. Since Teuken-7B-instruct-commercial-v0.4 focuses on covering all 24 EU languages, it renders more stable results across these languages and better reflects European values in its answers than English-centric models. It is therefore specialized for use in multilingual tasks.
Disclaimer Toxic Content:
This Large Language Model (LLM) may generate content that is inappropriate, offensive, or harmful. While the dataset has been filtered to minimize such outputs, the model may still produce text that is biased or toxic due to the large scale and diverse nature of the data.
Out-of-Scope Use
The model is not intended for use in math and coding tasks.
The model requires transformers, sentencepiece, and the torch library.
After installation, here's an example of how to use the model:
As this model is a fine-tuned model, it must be used with the provided prompt template. Using the model without the prompt template is not intended and is not recommended. The prompt template is defined as follows:
python
1user="Hi!"2lang_code ="DE"3system_messages={4"EN":"A chat between a human and an artificial intelligence assistant."5" The assistant gives helpful and polite answers to the human's questions.",6"DE":"Ein Gespräch zwischen einem Menschen und einem Assistenten mit künstlicher Intelligenz."7" Der Assistent gibt hilfreiche und höfliche Antworten auf die Fragen des Menschen.",8}910prompt =f"System: {system_messages[lang_code]}\nUser: {user}\nAssistant:"
The prompt template is also directly integrated in the Tokenizer and can be used as follows:
This example demonstrates how to load the model and tokenizer, prepare input, generate text, and print the result.
Training Details
Pre-Training Data
Teuken-7B-base-v0.4 was pre-trained on 4 trillion tokens of data from publicly available sources.
The pretraining data has a cutoff of September 2023.
More information is available in our preprint "Data Processing for the OpenGPT-X Model Family".
Instruction-Tuning Data
The model was fine-tuned on a collection of English- and German-focused instruction-tuning datasets which also contains instructions for 22 official European languages
The dataset composition contains three types of data: multilingual data, English data, and translated German data
English data
We only included a subsample of the OpenOrca dataset.
To select instruction-tuning examples based on their quality, We calculated the reward scores of all English examples utilizing Starling-RM-7B-alpha (Apache-2.0 license)
We aim to include roughly the same amount of English examples as we have multilingual examples:
Add all multi-turn examples
Add entire code_alpaca dataset subset
For the remaining dataset subsets (open_orca, evol_instruct_143k, evol_instruct_70k, sharegpt_v3, ultrachat_200k), we add the samples with the highest reward scores so that each dataset subset contributes an equal amount of high-quality examples
German Data
As we aim for a German- and English-centric, European language dataset and due to the sparsity of large-scale German instruction-tuning data, we translated the English portion of the above-described dataset composition. For this, we applied the Alma-13B (MIT license) model. As code can be a problematic case for translation, we implemented a regex-based code detection functionality. With it, we exclude code snippets from translation and insert the code snippets after translation again.
As the alpaca_code contains many code snippets not detectable by our regex-based code detection implementation, we included this part of the dataset from the translation.
Multilingual data
For multilingual data we include the 14 offical European languages contained in the aya_dataset and the 21 offical European languages contained in the translated_flan_cot dataset of the aya_collection.
The model was evaluated in 21 languages on ARC, GSM8K, HellaSwag, TruthfulQA, Translation and MMLU. Results can also be seen in the European LLM Leaderboard.

Compute Infrastructure
We trained our models on JUWELS Booster which consists of 936 compute nodes, each equipped with 4 NVIDIA A100 GPUs. The GPUs are hosted by AMD EPYC Rome CPUs. The compute nodes are connected with HDR-200 InfiniBand in a DragonFly+ topology.
Hardware
The configuration of JUWELS Booster compute nodes is the following:
CPU: AMD EPYC 7402 processor; 2 sockets, 24 cores per socket, SMT-2 (total: 2×24×2 = 96 threads) in NPS-4 1 configuration
Memory: 512 GB DDR4-3200 RAM (of which at least 20 GB is taken by the system software stack, including the file system); 256 GB per socket; 8 memory channels per socket (2 channels per NUMA domain)
GPU: 4 × NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU with 40 GB; connected via NVLink3 to each other
Network: 4 × Mellanox HDR200 InfiniBand ConnectX 6 (200 Gbit/s each), HCA
Periphery: CPU, GPU, and network adapter are connected via 2 PCIe Gen 4 switches with 16 PCIe lanes going to each device (CPU socket: 2×16 lanes). PCIe switches are configured in synthetic mode.

We believe that collaboration is key to overcome the aforementioned limitations and thereby strengthening the European GenAI landscape. Because of this, the team invites researchers, developers, and AI enthusiasts to join and engage through various platforms. A Discord server has been created for community collaboration, offering a space for discussions on technical details, ideas, and direct interaction with developers. Additionally, resources like research publications and a European LLM Leaderboard provide insights into Teuken-7B’s performance and technical aspects. The OpenGPT-X team encourages ongoing engagement and collaboration as the project evolves.
