| # HiTZ/gl_Llama-3.1-8B | |
| This is a **Galician (gl) language-specific base language model** trained by the HiTZ Research Center, starting from **Llama 3.1** and further pretrained on curated Galician data. | |
| This model is released as a **base model**, intended for further fine-tuning or adaptation (e.g., instruction tuning, domain adaptation). | |
| --- | |
| ## Training Data | |
| To train language-specific base LLMs, we followed the methodology proposed by [Etxaniz et al. (2024)](https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.799/), originally developed for Basque, and extended it to other low-resource languages. To enable fair comparisons across languages, we limited the corpus size for each language to roughly the same number of tokens. We also included a small English subset to mitigate catastrophic forgetting. | |
| ### Corpus composition | |
| | Language | Documents | Tokens (Llama 3.1) | | |
| |----------|-----------|-------------------:| | |
| | Galician (gl) | 8.9M | ~3.5B | | |
| | English (en) | 0.5M | ~0.3B | | |
| Token counts vary slightly depending on the tokenizer, but remain comparable in overall size. | |
| ### Data sources | |
| Galician data was obtained from the CorpusNÓS corpus, which comprises large-scale web crawls and texts from public administrations, among other sources. | |
| The English subset was sampled from the FineWeb corpus. | |
| --- | |
| ## Model Training | |
| - Sequence length: 8,196 tokens | |
| - Effective batch size: 256 sequences | |
| - Tokens per optimization step: ~2M | |
| - Learning rate schedule: cosine decay with 10% warm-up | |
| - Peak learning rate: 1e-5 | |
| Training was conducted on the CINECA Leonardo high-performance computing cluster using Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP) across 32 nodes, each equipped with 4 NVIDIA A100 GPUs (64 GB). | |

| ## Getting Started | |
| ```python | |
| from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer | |
| model_id = "HiTZ/gl_Llama-3.1-8B" | |
| tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) | |
| model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id) | |
| inputs = tokenizer("Ola!", return_tensors="pt") | |
| outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50) | |
| print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) | |
| ``` | |
