## Overview
Taiwan-LLaMa is a full parameter fine-tuned model based on LLaMa 2 for Traditional Mandarin applications.

**Taiwan-LLaMa v1.0** pretrained on over 5 billion tokens and instruction-tuned on over 490k conversations both in traditional mandarin.

## Demo
A live demonstration of the model can be accessed at [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces/yentinglin/Taiwan-LLaMa2).

## Key Features

1. **Traditional Mandarin Support**: The model is fine-tuned to understand and generate text in Traditional Mandarin, making it suitable for Taiwanese culture and related applications.

2. **Instruction-Tuned**: Further fine-tuned on conversational data to offer context-aware and instruction-following responses.

3. **Performance on Vicuna Benchmark**: Taiwan-LLaMa's relative performance on Vicuna Benchmark is measured against models like GPT-4 and ChatGPT. It's particularly optimized for Taiwanese culture.

4. **Flexible Customization**: Advanced options for controlling the model's behavior like system prompt, temperature, top-p, and top-k are available in the demo.


## Work in progress
- [ ] **Improved pretraining**: A refined pretraining process (e.g. more data from Taiwan, training strategies) is under development, aiming to enhance model performance for better Taiwanese culture.
- [ ] **Extend max length**: Utilizing the Rope mechanism as described in [the paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09864), the model's length will be extended from 4k to 8k.

## Model

We provide a number of model checkpoints that we trained. Please find them on Hugging Face [here](https://huggingface.co/models?search=taiwan-llama). Here are some quick links to the checkpoints that are finetuned from LLaMa 2:

## Architecture
Taiwan-LLaMa is based on LLaMa 2, leveraging transformer architecture, <a href="https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention" target="_blank">flash attention 2</a>, and bfloat16.

It includes:

* Pretraining Phase: Pretrained on a vast corpus of over 5 billion tokens, extracted from common crawl in Traditional Mandarin.
* Fine-tuning Phase: Further instruction-tuned on over 490k multi-turn conversational data to enable more instruction-following and context-aware responses.

## Generic Capabilities on Vicuna Benchmark 

The data is translated into traditional mandarin for evaluating the general capability.

## How to deploy the model on my own machine?
We recommend hosting models with [🤗 Text Generation Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference). Please see their [license](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/blob/main/LICENSE) for details on usage and limitations.
```bash
bash run_text_generation_inference.sh "yentinglin/Taiwan-LLaMa" NUM_GPUS DIR_TO_SAVE_MODEL PORT MAX_INPUT_LEN MODEL_MAX_LEN
```

Prompt format follows vicuna-v1.1 template:
```
