Zicklein: A german finetuned instruction LLaMA 🇩🇪

This repository is for a german finetuned version of the LLaMA model. This model is designed for research use only.

** Currently training with llama 2 (31.08.2023) **

Thanks to the portuguese finetuned version of LLaMA, Cabrita, for the inspiration of this project. Also thanks to Meta AI for developing and trainig the base LLaMA model and sparking the era of finetuning, apply for the LLaMA model weights here.

Data

A german-translated version of the cleaned Stanford Alpaca dataset was used. The original Stanford Alpaca dataset is available here. The translation was done via the facebook/wmt19-en-de model from HuggingFace 🤗 Hub.

More information about how the dataset is configured can be found here: Stanford Alpaca.

Finetuning

The baseline LLaMA-7b model was finetuned using the LoRA method in 8bit quantization, using parts of the code from Alpaca Lora fork, which makes use of PEFT from HuggingFace 🤗. The finetuning script is located here. The finetuning was done using a single A100 40GB GPU for 1000 steps.
