# Kushtrim/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-bnb-4bit-shqip

## Model overview

**Kushtrim/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-bnb-4bit-shqip** is a fine-tuned version of the [Llama 3.1 model](https://huggingface.co./meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct), specifically optimized for Albanian language tasks. This model is tailored to perform a variety of natural language processing tasks in Albanian, utilizing a quantized 4-bit precision to maintain efficiency and scalability while supporting extensive inference tasks.

## Model Details

- **Model Name:** Kushtrim/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-bnb-4bit-shqip
- **Base Model:** Llama 3.1
- **Model Size:** 8 billion parameters
- **Quantization:** 4-bit precision (bnb)
- **Language:** Albanian
- **License:** [llama3.1](https://huggingface.co./meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct/resolve/main/LICENSE)

## Limitations

- **Representation of Harms & Stereotypes:** Potential for biased outputs reflecting real-world societal biases.
- **Inappropriate or Offensive Content:** Risk of generating content that may be offensive or inappropriate in certain contexts.
- **Information Reliability:** Possibility of producing inaccurate or outdated information.
- **Dataset Size:** The Albanian dataset used for fine-tuning was not very large, which may affect the model's performance and coverage.

## Intended Use

- **Intended Use Cases:** This model is suitable for various NLP tasks in Albanian, including conversational AI, text generation, and language understanding.
- **Out-of-scope Use:** This model should not be used in ways that violate laws, regulations, or ethical guidelines. It is also not intended for use in languages other than Albanian unless appropriately fine-tuned.

## Responsible AI Considerations

Developers using this model should:

- Evaluate and mitigate risks related to accuracy, safety, and fairness.
- Ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Implement additional safeguards for high-risk scenarios and sensitive contexts.
- Inform end-users that they are interacting with an AI system.
- Use feedback mechanisms and contextual information grounding techniques (RAG) to enhance output reliability.
