SambaLingo-Serbian-Chat is a human aligned chat model trained in Serbian and English. It is trained using direct preference optimization on top the base model SambaLingo-Serbian-Base. The base model adapts Llama-2-7b to Serbian by training on 17 billion tokens from the Serbian split of the Cultura-X dataset. Try this model at SambaLingo-chat-space.

Od kada datiraju prva naselja na prostoru danasnjeg Beograda, i kada je grad osnovan?</s>
<|assistant|>
Beograd su naseljavali ljudi još u praistoriji, a prva naselja datiraju iz neolitskih vremena, pre oko 7.000 godina. Međutim, grad Beograd nije osnovan upravo u to vreme, već u srednjem veku, kada su Srbi u 9. veku osnovali srednjovekovni grad Beograd, na mestu današnjeg Kalemegdana. Grad je kasnije pretrpeo razna oсвајања, razaranja i obnavljanja, da bi se na kraju razvio u značajnu evropsku metropolu.
Training Details
The alignment phase follows the recipe for Zephyr-7B, and comprises two stages: supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and Direct Performance Optimization (DPO).
The SFT phase was done on the ultrachat_200k dataset mixed with the Google translated version of the ultrachat_200k dataset. It was trained for one epoch with global batch size 512 and max sequence length 2048 tokens. We used a linear decay learning rate of 2e-5 and 10% warmup.
The DPO phase was done on the ultrafeedback dataset and cai-conversation-harmless dataset, mixed with 10% of the data Google translated. It was trained with global batch size 32 and for three epochs. We used a linear decay learning rate of 5e-7, 10% warmup and β=0.1 as the regularization factor for DPO.
Tokenizer Details
We extended the vocabulary of the base llama model from 32,000 tokens to 57,000 tokens by adding up to 25,000 non-overlapping tokens from the new language.

Out-of-Scope Use
SambaLingo should NOT be used for:
Mission-critical applications
Applications that involve the safety of others
Making highly important decisions
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Like all LLMs, SambaLingo has certain limitations:
Hallucination: Model may sometimes generate responses that contain plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or irrelevant information.
Code Switching: The model might unintentionally switch between languages or dialects within a single response, affecting the coherence and understandability of the output.
Repetition: The Model may produce repetitive phrases or sentences, leading to less engaging and informative responses.
Coding and Math: The model's performance in generating accurate code or solving complex mathematical problems may be limited.
Toxicity: The model could inadvertently generate responses containing inappropriate or harmful content.
