### Model Description

🔥 LLaMAX-7B-X-NLI is a NLI model with multilingual capability, which is fully fine-tuned the powerful multilingual model [LLaMAX-7B](https://huggingface.co./LLaMAX/LLaMAX-7B) on MultiNLI dataset.

🔥 Compared with fine-tuning Llama-2 on the same setting, LLaMAX-7B-X-CSQA improves the average accuracy up to 5.6% on the XNLI dataset.

### Model Usage

Code Example:
```angular2html
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM

model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_WEIGHTS)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_TOKENIZER)

query = "Premise: She doesn’t really understand. Hypothesis: Actually, she doesn’t get it. Label:"
inputs = tokenizer(query, return_tensors="pt")

generate_ids = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, max_length=30)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
# =>  Entailment
```

    abstract = "Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable translation capabilities in high-resource language tasks, yet their performance in low-resource languages is hindered by insufficient multilingual data during pre-training. To address this, we conduct extensive multilingual continual pre-training on the LLaMA series models, enabling translation support across more than 100 languages. Through a comprehensive analysis of training strategies, such as vocabulary expansion and data augmentation, we develop LLaMAX. Remarkably, without sacrificing its generalization ability, LLaMAX achieves significantly higher translation performance compared to existing open-source LLMs (by more than 10 spBLEU points) and performs on-par with specialized translation model (M2M-100-12B) on the Flores-101 benchmark. Extensive experiments indicate that LLaMAX can serve as a robust multilingual foundation model. The code and the models are publicly available.",
