## Tamillama_Tiny: A 30M tiny llama model trained to tell stories in Tamil
### TL;DR:  
This is an experimental model inspired by the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759 - How Small Can Language Models Be and Still Speak Coherent English?. 

Extended the same concept for Tamil. A 30M parameter LLaMA architecture model that outputs coherent Tamil is preseted here.

Additional experimentation which is included in the model:
1. This is a multilanguage model as it can output both English and Tamil stories.
2. The model also does translation of stories from Engish to tamil and vice versa. To see the translation feature, set the max_new_tokens > 512. 
3. Translation of original stories from the tinystories dataset was done using [IndicTrans](https://ai4bharat.iitm.ac.in/indic-trans)

For now, this is a toy model for researchers, students and LLM enthusiasts to play with the linquistic capability of the model.

## Weights Release, License and Usage
We release the weights in two formats: Hugging Face transformers format and GGML format to use with CTransformers or LLaMA.cpp.

This is not fit for any practical purpose other than for research/experimentation use cases.

Usage:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RajuKandasamy/tamillama_tiny_30m")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("RajuKandasamy/tamillama_tiny_30m")
prompt = f"""சொற்கள்:
வாக்குறுதி, எலி, பெரியது
சுருக்கம்:"""
input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids

generation_output = model.generate(
    input_ids=input_ids, max_new_tokens=256
)
print(tokenizer.decode(generation_output[0]))
```
