Romulus is a series of continually pre-trained models enriched in French law and intended to serve as the basis for a fine-tuning process on labeled data. Please note that these models have not been aligned for the production of usable text as they stand, and will certainly need to be fine-tuned for the desired tasks in order to produce satisfactory results.

The training corpus is made up of around 34,864,949 tokens (calculated with the meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B tokenizer).

Training script

Romulus was trained using Unsloth on a Nvidia H100 Azure EST US instance provided by the Microsoft for Startups program from this script:

def formatting_prompts_func(examples):
    """
    Format input examples into prompts for a language model.

    This function takes a dictionary of examples containing titles and texts,
    combines them into formatted prompts, and appends an end-of-sequence token.

    Parameters
    ----------
    examples : dict
        A dictionary containing two keys:
        - 'title': A list of titles.
        - 'text': A list of corresponding text content.

    Returns
    -------
    dict
        A dictionary with a single key 'text', containing a list of formatted prompts.

    Notes
    -----
    - The function assumes the existence of a global `prompt` variable, which is a
      formatting string used to combine the title and text.
    - The function also assumes the existence of a global `EOS_TOKEN` variable,
      which is appended to the end of each formatted prompt.
    - The input lists 'title' and 'text' are expected to have the same length.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> examples = {
    ...     'title': ['Title 1', 'Title 2'],
    ...     'text': ['Content 1', 'Content 2']
    ... }
