🦜 Duchifat-1-Base (דוכיפת)
1. Overview
Duchifat-1-Base is a state-of-the-art, small-scale Hebrew Language Model (LLM) built on a custom Llama-based architecture. With 132 Million parameters, it is designed for efficiency, speed, and deep understanding of Hebrew syntax and urban semantics.
The model was trained from scratch to demonstrate that high-quality Hebrew text generation is possible even with limited parameter counts, provided the architecture is optimized for the language's unique morphological structure.
2. Model Specifications
- Architecture: Llama-2-style (Decoder-only Transformer)
- Parameters: 132 Million
- Vocabulary Size: 52,000 (AlephBERT Tokenizer)
- Context Length: 1024 tokens
- Training Device: Dual NVIDIA T4 GPUs
- License: Apache 2.0
3. Key Capabilities
- Syntactic Precision: Exceptional grasp of Hebrew prefixes (ו-כש-ל-ב) and sentence structure.
- Domain Knowledge: Strong performance in social media context, financial reporting terminology, and sociological discourse.
- Efficiency: Capable of running on edge devices and mobile hardware with minimal latency.
4. Training Data
The model was pre-trained on the Hebrew Space Restoration Corpus by Dicta-IL, focusing on:
- Social media interactions and contemporary slang.
- Formal news reporting and financial data.
- Modern Hebrew literature and essays.
5. Usage (Python)
from transformers import AutoConfig, AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch
# Load model and tokenizer
model_id = "Raziel1234/Duchifat-1-Base"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
# Inference
prompt = "מצד שני ניכרים היום סימנים של"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", return_token_type_ids=False).to("cuda")
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.6, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
