Welcome to Slim205/Barka-2b-it : The best 2B Arabic LLM. Feel free to use it and give me feedbacks on it.
Motivation :
The goal of the project was to adapt large language models for the Arabic language and create a new state-of-the-art Arabic LLM. Due to the scarcity of Arabic instruction fine-tuning data, not many LLMs have been trained specifically in Arabic, which is surprising given the large number of Arabic speakers.
Our final model was trained on a high-quality instruction fine-tuning (IFT) dataset, generated synthetically and then evaluated using the Hugging Face Arabic leaderboard.
Training :
This model is the 2B version. It was trained for 2 days on 1 A100 GPU using LoRA with a rank of 128, a learning rate of 1e-4, and a cosine learning rate schedule.
