## Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the model:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline
import torch

model_name = "MohammedNasser/silma_9b_instruct_ft"
user_question = "إذا كان لديك ثلاث سيارات، وبعت واحدة منها، كم سيارة ستبقى لديك؟"

# Load model and tokenizer
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

# Create pipeline
pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_name,
    torch_dtype= torch.bfloat16,
    device="cuda",
    return_full_text=False, 
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": user_question },
]

# Example usage
response = pipe(messages, max_new_tokens=128)
assistant_response = outputs[0]["generated_text"]

print(f"Question: {user_question}")
print(f"Answer: {assistant_response}")
```

## Performance

Our model demonstrates strong performance on Arabic QA tasks, particularly for questions requiring numerical answers. Here are some key metrics:

- **Eval Loss**: 0.046

## Limitations

- The model is optimized for numerical answers and may not perform as well on open-ended questions.
- Performance may vary for dialects or regional variations of Arabic not well-represented in the training data.
- The model may occasionally generate incorrect numerical answers for very complex or ambiguous questions.

## Fine-tuning Details

The model was fine-tuned using the following configuration:

- **LoRA Config**:
  - Alpha: 16
  - Dropout: 0.1
  - R: 4
- **Training Hyperparameters**:
  - Batch Size: 4
  - Learning Rate: 2e-4
  - Epochs: 3
- **Hardware**: 4 x NVIDIA A100 GPUs
