ItalLlama: An Experimental Italian Language Model, this model is only pretrained

Model Description

ItalLlama is an experimental Italian language model, trained entirely from scratch on a single GPU at home. It is important to emphasize that this model is not designed for high performance but is instead a proof-of-concept for training a foundation model under minimal resources.

Key Characteristics:

• Name: ItalLlama
• Version: v1.0 (Experimental)
• Language: Italian
• Training Setup: Single GPU at home
• Dataset: A limited Italian corpus (1B tokens)
• Use Cases: Educational or small-scale projects where performance is not critical.

Limitations

ItalLlama has severe limitations due to the constraints of training on a single GPU. Users should expect:

• Poor performance on complex tasks.
• Limited generalization and fluency.
• Suboptimal accuracy on advanced NLP tasks.

Conclusion

ItalLlama is a basic model trained with minimal resources, offering a glimpse into what can be achieved with a single GPU at home, but it is not intended for production use. It serves primarily as an experimental tool or for educational purposes.
