LLaMarketing: A Marketing Large Language Model

LLaMarketing is an 8B parameter Domain-Specific Large Language Model (LLM).
It was specifically adapted to the marketing domain from LLaMA-3-8B through continuous pretraining on a meticulously curated and comprehensive marketing corpus of more than 43B tokens.
LLaMarketing outperforms LLaMA-2 & LLaMA3 on specific marketing tasks. We are releasing this early checkpoint of the model to the AI community.

Model Description

LLaMarketing is a powerful tool that can aid in generating high-quality marketing content and conducting research in the field of marketing.
It's a great resource for anyone looking to stay ahead in the rapidly changing world of marketing.

While the model is designed to encode marketing knowledge, this checkpoint is not yet adapted to deliver knowledge appropriately, safely, or within professional actionable constraints.
We recommend against deploying LLaMarketing in real-world practice settings.

Model Details

• Developed by: Marketeam
• Model type: Causal decoder-only transformer language model
• Model License: LLAMA 3 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT
• Continue-pretrained from model: LLaMA-3-8B
• Context length: 3K tokens
• Input & Output: Text-only
• Language: English
• Knowledge Cutoff: December 2023

Uses

LLaMarketing has been developed for further research of LLM for marketing applications.
The potential use cases for this tool are diverse and varied, ranging from marketing question answering to general marketing information queries, and actions (function-calls) on marketing platforms.

LLaMarketing is a Foundation Language Model (FLM) without finetuning or instruction-tuning.
We recommend applying SFT or RLHF-tuned for specific downstream tasks. Or rather apply in-context learning with 1000-1500 tokens added to the prompt.

Training Details

How to use

Using Transformers pipeline

import transformers
import torch

model_id = "marketeam/LLaMarketing"
tokenizer_id = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B"
token = "hf-token"

pipeline = transformers.pipeline("text-generation", model=model_id, model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
                                  tokenizer=tokenizer_id, token=token,  device_map='auto')

pipeline("What are the key components of a digital marketing strategy?")

Using Transformers generate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_id = "marketeam/LLaMarketing"
tokenizer_id = "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B"
token = "hf_token"
device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(tokenizer_id, token=token)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, token=token).to(device)

message = "How do I calculate customer lifetime value?"
inputs = tokenizer(message, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs)
tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)

Intended Usage

LLaMarketing is now available for further testing and assessment. Potential use cases include, but are not limited to:

• Text Generation: This model can produce creative text formats in the marketing domain.
• Knowledge Exploration: It can assist marketing researchers by generating valuable marketing information or answering questions about marketing-specific topics.
• Natural Language Processing (NLP) Research: This model can form the basis for researchers to experiment with NLP techniques, develop algorithms, and contribute to the advancement of the field.
