Malayalam LLaMA 7B Instruct v0.1
Welcome to the inaugural release of the Malayalam LLaMA 7B instruct model β an important step in advancing LLMs for the Malayalam language. This model is ready for immediate inference and is also primed for further fine-tuning to cater to your specific NLP tasks.
To dive deep into the development and capabilities of this model, please read the research paper and the introductory blog post (WIP) that outlines our journey and the model's potential impact.
Note: This model is based on the Tamil LLaMA series of models. The GitHub repository remains the same - https://github.com/abhinand5/tamil-llama. The base models and the updated code for Tamil LLaMA v0.2 (which this work is based on) will be released soon.
If you appreciate this work and would like to support its continued development, consider buying me a coffee. Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.
Demo:
To access an easy-to-use, no-code demo, please open the provided Google Colab notebook. Complete instructions for usage are included within the notebook itself.
Model description

- Model type: A 7B parameter GPT-like model finetuned on ~500,000 samples consisting of an equal proportion of English and Malayalam samples. (Dataset will be released soon)
- Language(s): Bilingual. English and Malayalam.
- License: GNU General Public License v3.0
- Finetuned from model: To be released soon
- Training Precision:
bfloat16
- Code: GitHub (To be updated soon)
Prompt Template: ChatML
<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Benchmark Results
Benchmarking was done using LLM-Autoeval on an RTX 3090 on runpod.
Note: Please note that discrepancies have been observed between the Open LLM Leaderboard scores and those obtained from local runs using the LM Eval Harness with identical configurations. The results mentioned here are based on our own benchmarking. To replicate these findings, you can utilize the LLM-Autoeval or use lm-evaluation-harness locally with the configurations described in Open LLM Leaderboard's About page.

Example Usage
from transformers import LlamaForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"abhinand/malayalam-llama-instruct-v0.1",
#load_in_8bit=True, # Set this depending on the GPU you have
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map={"": 0}, # Set this depending on the number of GPUs you have
local_files_only=False # Optional
)
model.eval()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("abhinand/malayalam-llama-instruct-v0.1")
inf_pipeline = pipeline("conversational", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
def format_instruction(system_prompt, question, return_dict=False):
if system_prompt is None:
messages = [
{'content': question, 'role': 'user'},
]
else:
messages = [
{'content': system_prompt, 'role': 'system'},
{'content': question, 'role': 'user'},
]
if return_dict:
return messages
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
return prompt
# Set the generation configuration according to your needs
temperature = 0.6
repetition_penalty = 1.1
max_new_tokens = 256
SYSTEM_PROMPT = "You are an AI assistant who follows instructions extremely well. Do your best your best to help."
INPUT = "Give 3 tips to lead a healthy life"
instruction = format_instruction(
system_prompt=SYSTEM_PROMPT,
question=INPUT,
return_dict=True,
)
output = inf_pipeline(
instruction,
temperature=temperature,
max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens,
repetition_penalty=repetition_penalty
)
print(output)
Example Output:
Conversation id: d57cdf33-01ff-4328-8efe-5c4fefdd6e77
system: You are an AI assistant who follows instructions extremely well. Do your best your best to help.
user: Give 3 tips to lead a healthy life
assistant: 1. Establish a regular sleep schedule: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night, which is crucial for overall health and well-being.
2. Engage in physical activity regularly: Incorporate exercise into your daily routine, even if it's just a brisk walk or some light stretching. Regular physical activity can help reduce stress, improve mood, and maintain a healthy weight.
3. Eat a balanced diet: Consume a variety of whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of sodium.
Usage Note
It's important to note that the models have not undergone detoxification/censorship. Therefore, while they possess impressive linguistic capabilities, there is a possibility for them to generate content that could be deemed harmful or offensive. We urge users to exercise discretion and supervise the model's outputs closely, especially in public or sensitive applications.
