+ # Model Details
95
+
96
+ BLOOM is a type of language model, which is a probability distribution over sequences of words. Specifically, BLOOM is a Large Language Model (LLM), meaning that it is trained on vast amounts of text data using industrial-scale computational resources. As such, the model is able to capture the statistical tendencies of words, phrases, sentences, and larger spans of text that it is exposed to in the training data.

+ ### Preprocessing
284
+
285
+ **Tokenization:** The BLOOM tokenizer ([link](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/tokenizer)), a learned subword tokenizer trained using:
286
+
287
+ - A byte-level Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) algorithm
288
+
289
+ - A simple pre-tokenization rule, no normalization
290
+
291
+ - A vocabulary size of 250,680
292
+
293
+ It was trained on a subset of a preliminary version of the corpus using alpha-weighting per language.

+

+ # Uses
333
+
334
+ *This section addresses questions around how the model is intended to be used, discusses the foreseeable users of the model (including those affected by the model), and describes uses that are considered out of scope or misuse of the model.*
335
+ *It is useful for anyone considering using the model or who is affected by the model.*

339
+
340
+ ## Intended Use
341
+
342
+ This model is being created in order to enable public research on large language models (LLMs). LLMs are intended to be used for language generation or as a pretrained base model that can be further fine-tuned for specific tasks. Use cases below are not exhaustive.
343
+
344
+ ### Direct Use
345
+
346
+ - Text generation
347
+
348
+ - Exploring characteristics of language generated by a language model
349
+
350
+ - Examples: Cloze tests, counterfactuals, generations with reframings
351
+
352
+ ### Downstream Use
353
+
354
+ - Tasks that leverage language models include: Information Extraction, Question Answering, Summarization
355
+
356
+ ### Misuse and Out-of-scope Use
357
+ *This section addresses what users ought not do with the model.*
358
+
359
+ See the [BLOOM License](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigscience/license), Attachment A, for detailed usage restrictions. The below list is non-exhaustive, but lists some easily foreseeable problematic use cases.
360
+
361
+ #### Out-of-scope Uses
362
+
363
+ Using the model in [high-stakes](#high-stakes) settings is out of scope for this model. The model is not designed for [critical decisions](#critical-decisions) nor uses with any material consequences on an individual's livelihood or wellbeing. The model outputs content that appears factual but is not correct.
364
+
365
+ Out-of-scope Uses Include:
366
+
367
+ - Usage in biomedical domains, political and legal domains, or finance domains
368
+
369
+ - Usage for evaluating or scoring individuals, such as for employment, education, or credit
370
+
371
+ - Applying the model for critical automatic decisions, generating factual content, creating reliable summaries, or generating predictions that must be correct
372
+
373
+ #### Misuse
374
+
375
+ Intentionally using the model for harm, violating [human rights](#human-rights), or other kinds of malicious activities, is a misuse of this model. This includes:
376
+
377
+ - Spam generation
378
+
379
+ - Disinformation and influence operations
380
+
381
+ - Disparagement and defamation
382
+
383
+ - Harassment and abuse
384
+
385
+ - [Deception](#deception)
386
+
387
+ - Unconsented impersonation and imitation
388
+
389
+ - Unconsented surveillance
390
+
391
+ - Generating content without attribution to the model, as specified in the [RAIL License, Use Restrictions](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigscience/license)

515
+
516
+ - Users should be aware of [Risks and Limitations](#risks-and-limitations), and include an appropriate age disclaimer or blocking interface as necessary.
517
+
518
+ - Models trained or finetuned downstream of BLOOM LM should include an updated Model Card.
519
+
520
+ - Users of the model should provide mechanisms for those affected to provide feedback, such as an email address for comments.

529
+ <details>
530
+ <summary>Click to expand</summary>
531
+
532
+ - <a name="loss">**Loss:**</a> A calculation of the difference between what the model has learned and what the data shows ("groundtruth"). The lower the loss, the better. The training process aims to minimize the loss.
533
+
534
+ - <a name="perplexity">**Perplexity:**</a> This is based on what the model estimates the probability of new data is. The lower the perplexity, the better. If the model is 100% correct at predicting the next token it will see, then the perplexity is 1. Mathematically this is calculated using entropy.
535
+
536
+ - <a name="high-stakes">**High-stakes settings:**</a> Such as those identified as "high-risk AI systems" and "unacceptable risk AI systems" in the European Union's proposed [Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act](https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/annexes/).
537
+
538
+ - <a name="critical-decisions">**Critical decisions:**</a> Such as those defined in [the United States' proposed Algorithmic Accountability Act](https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/s3572/BILLS-117s3572is.pdf).
539
+
540
+ - <a name="human-rights">**Human rights:**</a> Includes those rights defined in the [Universal Declaration of Human Rights](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf).
541
+
542
+ - <a name="personal-data-and-information">**Personal Data and Personal Information:**</a> Personal data and information is defined in multiple data protection regulations, such as "[personal data](https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/personal-data/)" in the [European Union's General Data Protection Regulation](https://gdpr-info.eu); and "personal information" in the Republic of South Africa's [Protection of Personal Information Act](https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/3706726-11act4of2013popi.pdf), The People's Republic of China's [Personal information protection law](http://en.npc.gov.cn.cdurl.cn/2021-12/29/c_694559.htm).
543
+
544
+ - <a name="sensitive-characteristics">**Sensitive characteristics:**</a> This includes specifically protected categories in human rights (see [UHDR, Article 2](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf)) and personal information regulation (see GDPR, [Article 9; Protection of Personal Information Act, Chapter 1](https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/3706726-11act4of2013popi.pdf))
545
+
546
+ - <a name="deception">**Deception:**</a> Doing something to intentionally mislead individuals to believe something that is false, such as by creating deadbots or chatbots on social media posing as real people, or generating text documents without making consumers aware that the text is machine generated.
