# Llama3 Swallow - Built with Meta Llama 3

Our Swallow model has undergone continual pre-training from the [Llama 3 family](https://huggingface.co./collections/meta-llama/meta-llama-3-66214712577ca38149ebb2b6), primarily with the addition of Japanese language data. The Instruct versions use supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and Chat Vector. Links to other models can be found in the index.


# Model Release Updates

We are excited to share the release schedule for our latest models:
- **July 1, 2024**: Released the [Llama-3-Swallow-8B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co./tokyotech-llm/Llama-3-Swallow-8B-v0.1), [Llama-3-Swallow-8B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co./tokyotech-llm/Llama-3-Swallow-8B-Instruct-v0.1), [Llama-3-Swallow-70B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co./tokyotech-llm/Llama-3-Swallow-70B-v0.1), and [Llama-3-Swallow-70B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co./tokyotech-llm/Llama-3-Swallow-70B-Instruct-v0.1).

### MT-Bench JA

We used [Japanese MT-Bench](https://wandb.ai/wandb-japan/llm-leaderboard/artifacts/dataset/mtbench_ja_question) to assess the instruction-following capabilities of models.
We utilized the following settings:

- Implemantation: FastChat [Zheng+, 2023] (commit #e86e70d0)
- Question: [Nejumi LLM-Leaderboard NEO, mtbench_ja_question_v3](https://wandb.ai/wandb-japan/llm-leaderboard/artifacts/dataset/mtbench_ja_question/v3)
- Reference Answer: [Nejumi LLM-Leaderboard NEO, mtbench_ja_referenceanswer_v1](https://wandb.ai/wandb-japan/llm-leaderboard/artifacts/dataset/mtbench_ja_referenceanswer/v1)
- Prompt for Judge: [Nejumi LLM-Lederboard NEO, mtbench_ja_prompt_v1](https://wandb.ai/wandb-japan/llm-leaderboard/artifacts/dataset/mtbench_ja_prompt/v1)
- Judge: `gpt-4-1106-preview`
- Scoring: Absolute scale normalized to a 0-1 range, averaged over five runs.

## Usage

```sh
pip install vllm
```

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Llama-3-Swallow-8B-Instruct-v0.1"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
llm = LLM(
    model=model_name,
    tensor_parallel_size=1,
)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, max_tokens=512, stop="<|eot_id|>"
)


message = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "あなたは誠実で優秀な日本人のアシスタントです。"},
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "東京の夜空に打ち上がっている花火の下、向かい合っている燕とラマの温かい物語を書いてください。",
    },
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    message, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)

output = llm.generate(prompt, sampling_params)

print(output[0].outputs[0].text)

```

## Training Datasets

### Instruction Tuning

The following datasets were used for the instruction tuning. 

- [OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset EN top-1 thread](https://huggingface.co./datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst2)
- [OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset](https://huggingface.co./datasets/llm-jp/oasst1-21k-ja) was used, where human utterances are included but the responses are not used. Instead, the responses were generated using the [Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co./mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) model.

 
## Risks and Limitations

The models released here are still in the early stages of our research and development and have not been tuned to ensure outputs align with human intent and safety considerations.
