# Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This modelcard aims to be a base template for new models. It has been generated using [this raw template](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/modelcard_template.md?plain=1).

## Model Details

### Model Description

TowerInstruct is a language model that results from fine-tuning TowerBase on the TowerBlocks supervised fine-tuning dataset. TowerInstruct v0.1 is the first model in the series. 
The model is trained to handle several translation-related tasks, such as general machine translation (e.g., sentence- and document-level translation, terminology-aware translation, context-aware translation), automatic post edition, named-entity recognition, gramatical error correction, and paraphrase generation. 
We will release more details in the upcoming technical report.

- **Developed by:** Unbabel, Instituto Superior Técnico, CentraleSupélec University of Paris-Saclay 
- **Model type:** A 7B parameter model fine-tuned on a mix of publicly available, synthetic datasets on translation-related tasks, as well as conversational datasets and code instructions.
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Russian
- **License:** CC-BY-NC-4.0
- **Finetuned from model [optional]:** TowerBase

## Intended uses & limitations

The model was initially fine-tuned on a filtered and preprocessed supervised fine-tuning dataset (TowerBlocks), which contains a diverse range of data sources:
- Translation
- Automatic Post Edition
- Machine Translation Evaluation
- Context-aware Translation
- Terminology-aware Translation
- Multi-reference Translation
- Named-entity Recognition
- Paraphrase Generation
- Synthetic Chat data 
- Code instructions

You can find the dataset and all data sources of TowerBlocks here.

Here's how you can run the model using the `pipeline()` function from 🤗 Transformers:

```python
# Install transformers from source - only needed for versions <= v4.34
# pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
# pip install accelerate

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(“text-generation”, model=“Unbabel/TowerInstruct-v0.1", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map=“cuda:3”)

# We use the tokenizer’s chat template to format each message - see https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/chat_templating
messages = [
    {“role”: “user”, “content”: “Translate the following text from Portuguese into English.\nPortuguese: Um grupo de investigadores lançou um novo modelo para tarefas relacionadas com tradução.\nEnglish:“},
]
prompt = pipe.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
outputs = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=False)
print(outputs[0][“generated_text”])
# <|im_start|>user
# Translate the following text from Portuguese into English.
# Portuguese: Um grupo de investigadores lançou um novo modelo para tarefas relacionadas com tradução.
# English:<|im_end|>
# <|im_start|>assistant
# A group of researchers has launched a new model for translation-related tasks.
```


### Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

### Downstream Use [optional]

<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->

### Out-of-Scope Use

<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

### Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.

## Prompt Format

Mention mlchat here (no system prompt)

### Supervised tasks

Prompts for different tasks.
