### Model Description
LLaMAX3-8B is a multilingual language base model, developed through continued pre-training on Llama3, and supports over 100 languages. 
LLaMAX3-8B can serve as a base model to support downstream multilingual tasks but without instruct-following capability.

We further fine-tune LLaMAX3-8B on Alpaca dataset to enhance its instruct-following capabilities. The model is available at https://huggingface.co/LLaMAX/LLaMAX3-8B-Alpaca.

### Supported Languages
Akrikaans (af), Amharic (am), Arabic (ar), Armenian (hy), Assamese (as), Asturian (ast), Azerbaijani (az), Belarusian (be), Bengali (bn), Bosnian (bs), Bulgarian (bg), Burmese (my), Catalan (ca), Cebuano (ceb), Chinese Simpl (zho), Chinese Trad (zho), Croatian (hr), Czech (cs), Danish (da), Dutch (nl), English (en), Estonian (et), Filipino (tl), Finnish (fi), French (fr), Fulah (ff), Galician (gl), Ganda (lg), Georgian (ka), German (de), Greek (el), Gujarati (gu), Hausa (ha), Hebrew (he), Hindi (hi), Hungarian (hu), Icelandic (is), Igbo (ig), Indonesian (id), Irish (ga), Italian (it), Japanese (ja), Javanese (jv), Kabuverdianu (kea), Kamba (kam), Kannada (kn), Kazakh (kk), Khmer (km), Korean (ko), Kyrgyz (ky), Lao (lo), Latvian (lv), Lingala (ln), Lithuanian (lt), Luo (luo), Luxembourgish (lb), Macedonian (mk), Malay (ms), Malayalam (ml), Maltese (mt), Maori (mi), Marathi (mr), Mongolian (mn), Nepali (ne), Northern Sotho (ns), Norwegian (no), Nyanja (ny), Occitan (oc), Oriya (or), Oromo (om), Pashto (ps), Persian (fa), Polish (pl), Portuguese (pt), Punjabi (pa), Romanian (ro), Russian (ru), Serbian (sr), Shona (sn), Sindhi (sd), Slovak (sk), Slovenian (sl), Somali (so), Sorani Kurdish (ku), Spanish (es), Swahili (sw), Swedish (sv), Tajik (tg), Tamil (ta), Telugu (te), Thai (th), Turkish (tr), Ukrainian (uk), Umbundu (umb), Urdu (ur), Uzbek (uz), Vietnamese (vi), Welsh (cy), Wolof (wo), Xhosa (xh), Yoruba (yo), Zulu (zu)

    abstract = "Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable translation capabilities in high-resource language tasks, yet their performance in low-resource languages is hindered by insufficient multilingual data during pre-training. To address this, we conduct extensive multilingual continual pre-training on the LLaMA series models, enabling translation support across more than 100 languages. Through a comprehensive analysis of training strategies, such as vocabulary expansion and data augmentation, we develop LLaMAX. Remarkably, without sacrificing its generalization ability, LLaMAX achieves significantly higher translation performance compared to existing open-source LLMs (by more than 10 spBLEU points) and performs on-par with specialized translation model (M2M-100-12B) on the Flores-101 benchmark. Extensive experiments indicate that LLaMAX can serve as a robust multilingual foundation model. The code and the models are publicly available.",
