# `Llama 3 Youko 70B (rinna/llama-3-youko-70b)`

![rinna-icon](./rinna.png)

# Overview

We conduct continual pre-training of [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B) on **5B** tokens from a mixture of Japanese and English datasets. The continual pre-training significantly improves the model's performance on Japanese tasks.

The name `youko` comes from the Japanese word [`妖狐/ようこ/Youko`](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A6%96%E7%8B%90), which is a kind of Japanese mythical creature ([`妖怪/ようかい/Youkai`](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A6%96%E6%80%AA)).

* **Library**

    The model was trained using code based on [EleutherAI/gpt-neox](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox).

* **Model architecture**

    A 80-layer, 8192-hidden-size transformer-based language model. Refer to the [Llama 3 Model Card](https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3/blob/main/MODEL_CARD.md) for architecture details.

* **Training: Built with Meta Llama 3**

    The model was initialized with the [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B) model and continually trained on around **5B** tokens from a mixture of the following corpora
    - [Japanese CC-100](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cc100)
    - [Japanese C4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mc4)
    - [Japanese OSCAR](https://huggingface.co/datasets/oscar-corpus/colossal-oscar-1.0)
    - [The Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EleutherAI/pile)
    - [Wikipedia](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/cirrussearch)
    - rinna curated Japanese dataset

# How to use the model

~~~~python
import transformers
import torch

model_id = "rinna/llama-3-youko-70b"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto"
)
output = pipeline(
    "西田幾多郎は、",
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=True
)
print(output[0]["generated_text"])
~~~~

# Tokenization
The model uses the original [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B) tokenizer.
