It provides information for anyone considering using the model or who is affected by the model.

<details> <summary>Click to expand</summary><br/>

Intended Use

This model is being created in order to enable public research on large language models (LLMs). LLMs are intended to be used for language generation or as a pretrained base model that can be further fine-tuned for specific tasks. Use cases below are not exhaustive.

Direct Use

• Text generation

• Exploring characteristics of language generated by a language model

  • Examples: Cloze tests, counterfactuals, generations with reframings

Downstream Use

• Tasks that leverage language models include: Information Extraction, Question Answering, Summarization

Misuse and Out-of-scope Use

This section addresses what users ought not do with the model.

See the BLOOM License, Attachment A, for detailed usage restrictions. The below list is non-exhaustive, but lists some easily foreseeable problematic use cases.

Out-of-scope Uses

Using the model in high-stakes settings is out of scope for this model.  The model is not designed for critical decisions nor uses with any material consequences on an individual's livelihood or wellbeing. The model outputs content that appears factual but is not correct.

Out-of-scope Uses Include:

• Usage in biomedical domains, political and legal domains, or finance domains

• Usage for evaluating or scoring individuals, such as for employment, education, or credit

• Applying the model for critical automatic decisions, generating factual content, creating reliable summaries, or generating predictions that must be correct

Misuse

Intentionally using the model for harm, violating human rights, or other kinds of malicious activities, is a misuse of this model. This includes:

• Spam generation

• Disinformation and influence operations

• Disparagement and defamation

• Harassment and abuse

• Deception

• Unconsented impersonation and imitation

• Unconsented surveillance

• Generating content without attribution to the model, as specified in the RAIL License, Use Restrictions

Intended Users

Direct Users

• General Public

• Researchers

• Students

• Educators

• Engineers/developers

• Non-commercial entities

• Community advocates, including human and civil rights groups

Indirect Users

• Users of derivatives created by Direct Users, such as those using software with an intended use

• Users of Derivatives of the Model, as described in the License

Others Affected (Parties Prenantes)

• People and groups referred to by the LLM

• People and groups exposed to outputs of, or decisions based on, the LLM

• People and groups whose original work is included in the LLM

Risks and Limitations

This section identifies foreseeable harms and misunderstandings.

<details> <summary>Click to expand</summary><br/>

Model may:

• Overrepresent some viewpoints and underrepresent others

• Contain stereotypes

• Contain personal information

• Generate:

  • Hateful, abusive, or violent language

  • Discriminatory or prejudicial language

  • Content that may not be appropriate for all settings, including sexual content

• Make errors, including producing incorrect information as if it were factual

• Generate irrelevant or repetitive outputs

And multiple different metrics for specific tasks. (More evaluation metrics forthcoming upon completion of evaluation protocol.)

Factors

This section lists some different aspects of BLOOM models. Its focus is on those aspects that are likely to give rise to high variance in model behavior.

• Language, such as English or Yoruba

• Domain, such as newswire or stories

• Demographic characteristics, such as gender or nationality

Results

Results are based on the Factors and Metrics.

Train-time Evaluation:

</details> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Recommendations

This section provides information on warnings and potential mitigations.

<details> <summary>Click to expand</summary><br/>

• Indirect users should be made aware when the content they're working with is created by the LLM.

• Users should be aware of Risks and Limitations, and include an appropriate age disclaimer or blocking interface as necessary.

• Models pretrained with the LLM should include an updated Model Card.

• Users of the model should provide mechanisms for those affected to provide feedback, such as an email address for comments.

</details> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Glossary and Calculations

This section defines common terms and how metrics are calculated.

<details> <summary>Click to expand</summary><br/>

• <a name="loss">Loss:</a> A calculation of the difference between what the model has learned and what the data shows ("groundtruth"). The lower the loss, the better. The training process aims to minimize the loss.

• <a name="perplexity">Perplexity:</a> This is based on what the model estimates the probability of new data is. The lower the perplexity, the better. If the model is 100% correct at predicting the next token it will see, then the perplexity is 1. Mathematically this is calculated using entropy.

• <a name="high-stakes">High-stakes settings:</a> Such as those identified as "high-risk AI systems" and "unacceptable risk AI systems" in the European Union's proposed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act.

• <a name="critical-decisions">Critical decisions:</a> Such as those defined in the United States' proposed Algorithmic Accountability Act.

• <a name="human-rights">Human rights:</a> Includes those rights defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

• <a name="personal-data-and-information">Personal Data and Personal Information:</a> Personal data and information is defined in multiple data protection regulations, such as "personal data" in the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation; and "personal information" in the Republic of South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, The People's Republic of China's Personal information protection law.

• <a name="sensitive-characteristics">Sensitive characteristics:</a> This includes specifically protected categories in human rights (see UHDR, Article 2) and personal information regulation (see GDPR, Article 9; Protection of Personal Information Act, Chapter 1)

• <a name="deception">Deception:</a> Doing something to intentionally mislead individuals to believe something that is false, such as by creating deadbots or chatbots on social media posing as real people, or generating text documents without making consumers aware that the text is machine generated.
