Japanese Stable LM Base Gamma 7B

Model Description

This is a 7B-parameter decoder-only language model with a focus on maximizing Japanese language modeling performance and Japanese downstream task performance. We conducted continued pretraining using Japanese data on the English language model, Mistral-7B-v0.1, to transfer the model's knowledge and capabilities to Japanese.

Usage

Ensure you are using Transformers 4.34.0 or newer.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-gamma-7b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
  "stabilityai/japanese-stablelm-base-gamma-7b",
  torch_dtype="auto",
)
model.cuda()
inputs = tokenizer("AI で科学研究を加速するには、", return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
tokens = model.generate(
  **inputs,
  max_new_tokens=64,
  temperature=0.75,
  top_p=0.95,
  do_sample=True,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Training Dataset

Around 100B tokens from a mixture of the following corpora were used for the continued pretraining.

• Japanese/English Wikipedia
• Japanese mc4
• Japanese CC-100
• Japanese OSCAR
• SlimPajama without the Books3 subset

Use and Limitations

Intended Use

The model is intended to be used by all individuals as a foundational model for application-specific fine-tuning without strict limitations on commercial use.

Limitations and bias

The pre-training dataset may have contained offensive or inappropriate content even after applying data cleansing filters which can be reflected in the model-generated text. We recommend users exercise reasonable caution when using these models in production systems. Do not use the model for any applications that may cause harm or distress to individuals or groups.

Credits

The continued pre-training was carried out by Takuya Akiba. Other aspects, including data preparation and evaluation, were handled by the Language Team of Stability AI Japan, notably Meng Lee, Fujiki Nakamura, Makoto Shing, Paul McCann, and Naoki Orii.
