Llama 3.1 8B Instruct for Sinhala: ElChat
This model is built on top of Llama 3.1 8B Instruct adapted for Sinhala using 500M target language tokens sampled from MADLAD-400. It has an additional target vocabulary of 10K. The model was trained using the ElChat method.
Model Details
- Vocabulary: This model has an additional target vocabulary of 10K.
- Target vocabulary initialization: The target weights of the embedding and LM head were initialized using mean initialization.
- Training: This model was continually pre-trained on 500M target language tokens sampled from MADLAD-400.
- Post-processing: The model was post-processed using the ElChat method.
