🚀 We're excited to introduce Llama-3-Taiwan-70B! Llama-3-Taiwan-70B is a 70B parameter model finetuned on a large corpus of Traditional Mandarin and English data using the Llama-3 architecture. It demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on various Traditional Mandarin NLP benchmarks.

The model was trained with NVIDIA NeMo™ Framework using the NVIDIA Taipei-1 built with NVIDIA DGX H100 systems.

The compute and data for training Llama-3-Taiwan-70B was generously sponsored by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Chun Group, Legalsign.ai, NVIDIA, Pegatron, TechOrange, and Unimicron (in alphabetical order).

We would like to acknowledge the contributions of our data provider, team members and advisors in the development of this model, including shasha77 for high-quality YouTube scripts and study materials, Taiwan AI Labs for providing local media content, Ubitus K.K. for offering gaming content, Professor Yun-Nung (Vivian) Chen for her guidance and advisement, Wei-Lin Chen for leading our pretraining data pipeline, Tzu-Han Lin for synthetic data generation, Chang-Sheng Kao for enhancing our synthetic data quality, and Kang-Chieh Chen for cleaning instruction-following data.

Hugging Face Transformers library

You can use Llama-3-Taiwan-70B with the Hugging Face Transformers library:

import torch
from transformers import pipeline, StoppingCriteria

# Define a custom stopping criteria class
class EosListStoppingCriteria(StoppingCriteria):
    def __init__(self, eos_sequence=[128256]):
        self.eos_sequence = eos_sequence

    def __call__(self, input_ids: torch.LongTensor, scores: torch.FloatTensor, **kwargs) -> bool:
        last_ids = input_ids[:, -len(self.eos_sequence):].tolist()
        return self.eos_sequence in last_ids

# Initialize the model with automatic device mapping
llm = pipeline("text-generation", model="yentinglin/Llama-3-Taiwan-70B-Instruct-rc1", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = llm.tokenizer

# Define a conversation example
chat = [
