Model Details

Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

OpenLLM-Ro represents the first open-source effort to build a LLM specialized for Romanian. OpenLLM-Ro developed and publicly releases a collection of Romanian LLMs, both in the form of foundational model and instruct and chat variants.

• Developed by: OpenLLM-Ro

<!-- - **Funded by [optional]:** [More Information Needed] --> <!-- - **Shared by [optional]:** [More Information Needed] --> <!-- - **Model type:** [More Information Needed] -->

• Language(s): Romanian
• License: cc-by-nc-4.0
• Finetuned from model: Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
• Trained using: RoAlpaca, RoAlpacaGPT4, RoDolly, RoSelfInstruct, RoNoRobots, RoOrca, RoCamel, RoOpenAssistant, RoUltraChat, RoMagpiePro, RoMagpieReasoning

Intended Use

Intended Use Cases

RoLlama3 is intented for research use in Romanian. Base models can be adapted for a variety of natural language tasks while instruction and chat tuned models are intended for assistant-like chat.

Out-of-Scope Use

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

Use in any manner that violates the license, any applicable laws or regluations, use in languages other than Romanian.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("OpenLLM-Ro/RoLlama3-8b-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("OpenLLM-Ro/RoLlama3-8b-Instruct")

instruction = "Ce jocuri de societate pot juca cu prietenii mei?"
chat = [
        {"role": "system", "content": "Ești un asistent folositor, respectuos și onest. Încearcă să ajuți cât mai mult prin informațiile oferite, excluzând răspunsuri toxice, rasiste, sexiste, periculoase și ilegale."},
        {"role": "user", "content": instruction},
        ]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, system_message="")

inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
