Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1 Instruct

Sahabat-AI (Indonesian language for “close friends”) is a collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) which has been pretrained and instruct-tuned for Indonesian language and its various dialects. Sahabat-AI ecosystem is co-initiated by Indonesian tech and telecommunication companies: GoTo Group and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison.

Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1 Instruct is an Indonesian-focused model which has been fine-tuned with around 448,000 Indonesian instruction-completion pairs alongside an Indonesian-dialect pool consisting of 96,000 instruction-completion pairs in Javanese and 98,000 instruction-completion pairs in Sundanese. Additionally, we added a pool of 129,000 instruction-completion pairs in English.

Model Details

Model Description

We performed instruction tuning in Indonesian, Javanese, Sundanese as well as English on our continued pre-trained Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1, a decoder model using the Gemma2 architecture, to create Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1 Instruct.

For tokenisation, the model employs the default tokenizer used in Gemma-2-9B. The model has a context length of 8192.

Benchmark Performance

We evaluated Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI V1 Instruct on both general language capabilities and instruction-following capabilities.

General Language Capabilities

For the evaluation of general language capabilities, we employed the

• SEA HELM (also known as BHASA) evaluation benchmark across a variety of tasks.
  • These tasks include Question Answering (QA), Sentiment Analysis (Sentiment), Toxicity Detection (Toxicity), Translation in both directions (Eng>Lang & Lang>Eng), Abstractive Summarization (Summ), Causal Reasoning (Causal) and Natural Language Inference (NLI).
  • We also added support for Javanese and Sundanese for the BHASA tasks whenever applicable
• IndoMMLU
  • These tasks include examination questions on Humanities, Indonesian language, Local languages and cultures, Social science and STEM across primary, middle, and high school levels.
• and the common English tasks from the HuggingFace LLM Leaderboard.
  • These tasks consist of IFEval, BBH, Math Lvl 5, GPQA, MuSR, and MMLU-PRO.
  • Caveat: Our results differ from the HuggingFace LLM Leaderboard because we have used VLLM as our inference platform. VLLM caps the context size at 4096 tokens while HuggingFace was set to 8192 tokens.

Note: SEA HELM is implemented using prompts to elicit answers in a strict format. For all tasks, the model is expected to provide an answer tag from which the answer is automatically extracted. For tasks where options are provided, the answer should comprise one of the pre-defined options. The scores for each task is normalised to account for baseline performance due to random chance.

The evaluation was done zero-shot with native prompts on a sample of 100-1000 instances for each dataset.

Instruction-following Capabilities

Since Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1 Instruct is an instruction-following model, we also evaluated it on instruction-following capabilities with the IFEval dataset.

As this dataset was in English, the linguists and native speakers in the team worked together to filter, localize and translate the dataset into the respective target languages to ensure that the examples remained reasonable, meaningful and natural.

IFEval

IFEval evaluates a model's ability to adhere to constraints provided in the prompt, for example beginning a response with a specific word/phrase or answering with a certain number of sections. Additionally, accuracy is normalized by the proportion of responses in the correct language (if the model performs the task correctly but responds in the wrong language, it is judged to have failed the task).

Note: IFEval was only used on Bahasa Indonesia. We are currently working on adding it for Javanese and Sundanese for our upcoming releases.

Caveats

It is important for users to be aware that our model exhibits certain limitations that warrant consideration. Like many LLMs, the model can hallucinate and occasionally generates irrelevant content, introducing fictional elements that are not grounded in the provided context. Users should also exercise caution in interpreting and validating the model's responses due to the potential inconsistencies in its reasoning.

Limitations

Safety

Current Sahabat-AI models, including this commercially permissive release, have not been aligned for safety. Developers and users should perform their own safety fine-tuning and related security measures. In no event shall the authors be held liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from the use of the released weights and codes.

Technical Specifications

Fine-Tuning Details

Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1 Instruct was built using a combination of a full parameter fine-tune, on-policy alignment, and model merges of the best performing checkpoints. The training process for fine-tuning was approximately 4 hours, with alignment taking 2 hours, both on 8x H100-80GB GPUs.

Data

Gemma2 9B CPT Sahabat-AI v1 Instruct was trained on a wide range of synthetic instructions, alongside publicly available instructions hand-curated by the team with the assistance of native speakers. In addition, special care was taken to ensure that the datasets used had commercially permissive licenses through verification with the original data source.
