Uses

Teuken 7B-base-v0.6 is designed for private, non-commercial, research, and educational use in all 24 official European Union languages. Its multilingual training makes it particularly well-suited for tasks requiring stable performance across these languages. Unlike English-centric models, Teuken 7B-base-v0.6 aims to reflect European linguistic diversity and values, offering more balanced and culturally aligned responses. This specialization makes it a strong choice for applications in multilingual and Europe-focused settings.

Disclaimer Toxic Content:

This Large Language Model (LLM) may generate content that is inappropriate, offensive, or harmful. While the dataset has been filtered to minimize such outputs, the model may still produce text that is biased or toxic due to the large scale and diverse nature of the data.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model is not intended for use in math and coding tasks.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Teuken 7B-base-v0.6 is a base model and is not free from biases and hallucinations.

How to Get Started with the Model

Usage

The model requires a few libraries that can be installed in your python environment:

python -m pip install numpy torch huggingface_hub transformers sentencepiece

After installation, here's an example of how to use the model:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "openGPT-X/Teuken-7B-base-v0.6"
prompt = "Insert text here..."
device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
inputs = {k: v.to(device) for k, v in inputs.items()}  # Move inputs to the same device as the model
output = model.generate(input_ids=inputs['input_ids'], max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=True)
result = tokenizer.decode(output.tolist())

This example demonstrates how to load the model and tokenizer, prepare input, generate text, and print the result.

Technical Specifications

Model Architecture and Objective

Compute Infrastructure

We trained our models on JUWELS Booster which consists of 936 compute nodes, each equipped with 4 NVIDIA A100 GPUs. The GPUs are hosted by AMD EPYC Rome CPUs. The compute nodes are connected with HDR-200 InfiniBand in a DragonFly+ topology.

Hardware

The configuration of JUWELS Booster compute nodes is the following:

CPU: AMD EPYC 7402 processor; 2 sockets, 24 cores per socket, SMT-2 (total: 2×24×2 = 96 threads) in NPS-4 1 configuration

Memory: 512 GB DDR4-3200 RAM (of which at least 20 GB is taken by the system software stack, including the file system); 256 GB per socket; 8 memory channels per socket (2 channels per NUMA domain)

GPU: 4 × NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU with 40 GB; connected via NVLink3 to each other

Network: 4 × Mellanox HDR200 InfiniBand ConnectX 6 (200 Gbit/s each), HCA

Periphery: CPU, GPU, and network adapter are connected via 2 PCIe Gen 4 switches with 16 PCIe lanes going to each device (CPU socket: 2×16 lanes). PCIe switches are configured in synthetic mode.
