Llama 3 Youko 70B (rinna/llama-3-youko-70b)

Overview

We conduct continual pre-training of meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B on 5B tokens from a mixture of Japanese and English datasets. The continual pre-training significantly improves the model's performance on Japanese tasks.

The name youko comes from the Japanese word 妖狐/ようこ/Youko, which is a kind of Japanese mythical creature (妖怪/ようかい/Youkai).

• Library

  The model was trained using code based on EleutherAI/gpt-neox.

• Model architecture

  A 80-layer, 8192-hidden-size transformer-based language model. Refer to the Llama 3 Model Card for architecture details.

• Training: Built with Meta Llama 3

  The model was initialized with the meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B model and continually trained on around 5B tokens from a mixture of the following corpora

  • Japanese CC-100
  • Japanese C4
  • Japanese OSCAR
  • The Pile
  • Wikipedia
  • rinna curated Japanese dataset

• Contributors

  • Koh Mitsuda

How to use the model

import transformers
import torch

model_id = "rinna/llama-3-youko-70b"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto"
)
output = pipeline(
    "西田幾多郎は、",
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=True
)
print(output[0]["generated_text"])

---

Tokenization

The model uses the original meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B tokenizer.
