How to Get Started with the Model
import transformers
import torch
model_id = "irlab-udc/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Galician"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
device_map="auto",
)
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a conversational AI that always responds in Galician."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Cal é a principal vantaxe de usar Scrum?"},
]
outputs = pipeline(messages, max_new_tokens=512)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])

abstact = {The popularization of Large Language Models (LLMs), especially with the development of conversational systems, makes mandatory to think about facilitating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to everyone. Most models neglect minority languages, prioritizing widely spoken ones. This exacerbates their underrepresentation in the digital world and negatively affects their speakers. We present two resources aimed at improving natural language processing (NLP) for Galician: (i) a Llama 3.1 instruct model adapted through continuous pre-training on the CorpusNos dataset; and (ii) a Galician version of the Alpaca dataset, used to assess the improvement over the base model. In this evaluation, our model outperformed both the base model and another Galician model in quantitative and qualitative terms}
