Model Description

LLaMAX is a language model with powerful multilingual capabilities without loss instruction-following capabilities.

We collected extensive training sets in 102 languages for continued pre-training of Llama2 and leveraged the English instruction fine-tuning dataset, Alpaca, to fine-tune its instruction-following capabilities.

🔥 Effortless Multilingual Translation with a Simple Prompt

LLaMAX supports translation between more than 100 languages, surpassing the performance of similarly scaled LLMs.

def Prompt_template(query, src_language, trg_language):
    instruction = f'Translate the following sentences from {src_language} to {trg_language}.'
    prompt = (
        'Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. '
        'Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n'
        f'### Instruction:\n{instruction}\n'
        f'### Input:\n{query}\n### Response:'
    )
    return prompt

And then run the following codes to execute translation:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM

model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_WEIGHTS)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_TOKENIZER)

query = "你好，今天是个好日子"
prompt = Prompt_template(query, 'Chinese', 'English')
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")

generate_ids = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, max_length=30)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
# => "Hello, today is a good day"

🔥 Excellent Translation Performance

LLaMAX achieves an average spBLEU score improvement of over 10 points compared to the LLaMA2-Alpaca model on the Flores-101 dataset.

🔥 Effective Base Model for Multilingual Task

LLaMAX preserves its efficacy in general tasks and improves the performance on multilingual tasks. We fine-tuned LLaMAX using only the English training set of downstream task, which also shows significant improvements in non-English. We provide fine-tuning LLaMAX models for the following three tasks:
