Llama-3.2-3B-Tele Model Card

Model Summary

The language model Llama-3.2-3B-Tele is a Transformer with 3 billion parameters, specialized in telecommunications. It is based on Meta Llama-3.2-3B and was continutally pretrained on Tele-Data, a large-scale dataset of approximately 2.5 billion tokens of telecommunications material, including articles, standards, and general web content related to the telecommunications domain.

When assessed against telecommunications benchmarks such as Tele-Eval, Llama-3.2-3B-Tele outperforms Llama-3.2-3B by several percentage points. Additionally, Llama-3.2-3B-Tele matches Llama-3.2-3B across benchmarks related to common sense, language understanding, and logical reasoning. Thus, this adaptation was achieved with minimal compromise in performance on the original version.

Context Length

The model was trained on a context length of 8192 tokens.

Usage

Llama-3.2-3B-Tele is a base model best suited for fine-tuning on applications related to telecommunications. It has not been fine-tuned to follow instructions and operates solely within a text completion framework. An example of this completion can be found below:

Prompt: Shannon capacity is

Model: the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted over a communication channel. It is named after Claude Shannon, who introduced the concept in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". Shannon's work was a major breakthrough in the field of information theory, and his capacity formula is one of the most important results in the field.

Sample Code

Below we share some code snippets on how to get quickly started with running the model. First, make sure to pip install transformers, then copy the snippet corresponding to your hardware and adapt it to your usecase.

Running the model on a CPU

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AliMaatouk/Llama-3.2-3B-Tele", torch_dtype="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AliMaatouk/Llama-3.2-3B-Tele")

prompt = "Shannon capacity is"
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**input_ids, max_new_tokens=100)

generated_tokens = outputs[0, len(input_ids['input_ids'][0]):]
response = tokenizer.decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)

Running the model on a single / multi GPU

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AliMaatouk/Llama-3.2-3B-Tele", torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AliMaatouk/Llama-3.2-3B-Tele")

prompt = "Shannon capacity is"
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(**input_ids, max_new_tokens=100)

generated_tokens = outputs[0, len(input_ids['input_ids'][0]):]
response = tokenizer.decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
