Adapting LLMs to Hebrew: Unveiling DictaLM 2.0 with Enhanced Vocabulary and Instruction Capabilities

The DictaLM-2.0-Instruct Large Language Model (LLM) is an instruct fine-tuned version of the DictaLM-2.0 generative model using a variety of conversation datasets.

For full details of this model please read our release blog post or the technical report.

This model contains the AWQ 4-bit quantized version of the instruct-tuned model designed for chat DictaLM-2.0-Instruct.

You can view and access the full collection of base/instruct unquantized/quantized versions of DictaLM-2.0 here.

Instruction format

In order to leverage instruction fine-tuning, your prompt should be surrounded by [INST] and [/INST] tokens. The very first instruction should begin with a begin of sentence id. The next instructions should not. The assistant generation will be ended by the end-of-sentence token id.

E.g.

text = """<s>[INST] איזה רוטב אהוב עליך? [/INST]
טוב, אני די מחבב כמה טיפות מיץ לימון סחוט טרי. זה מוסיף בדיוק את הכמות הנכונה של טעם חמצמץ לכל מה שאני מבשל במטבח!</s>[INST] האם יש לך מתכונים למיונז? [/INST]"

This format is available as a chat template via the apply_chat_template() method:

Example Code

Running this code requires under 5GB of GPU VRAM.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("dicta-il/dictalm2.0-instruct-AWQ", device_map=device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dicta-il/dictalm2.0-instruct-AWQ")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "איזה רוטב אהוב עליך?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "טוב, אני די מחבב כמה טיפות מיץ לימון סחוט טרי. זה מוסיף בדיוק את הכמות הנכונה של טעם חמצמץ לכל מה שאני מבשל במטבח!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "האם יש לך מתכונים למיונז?"}
]

encoded = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(device)

generated_ids = model.generate(encoded, max_new_tokens=50, do_sample=True)
decoded = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)
print(decoded[0])
# <s> [INST] איזה רוטב אהוב עליך? [/INST]
# טוב, אני די מחבב כמה טיפות מיץ לימון סחוט טרי. זה מוסיף בדיוק את הכמות הנכונה של טעם חמצמץ לכל מה שאני מבשל במטבח!</s>  [INST] האם יש לך מתכונים למיונז? [/INST]
# הנה מתכון פשוט וקל למיונז ביתי:
# 
# מרכיבים:
# - ביצה גדולה אחת
# - 2 כפות חומץ יין לבן
# - 1 כף 
# (it stopped early because we set max_new_tokens=50)

Model Architecture

DictaLM-2.0-Instruct follows the Zephyr-7B-beta recipe for fine-tuning an instruct model, with an extended instruct dataset for Hebrew.

Limitations

The DictaLM 2.0 Instruct model is a demonstration that the base model can be fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance. It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.
