Ge🌏Galactica: A Scientific Large Language Model in Geoscience

GeoGalactica is from further pre-training of Galactica -- a top-performing LLM trained with a large number of scientific documents.

Model Details

In this work, we take the initial step to leverage LLM for science, through a rather straightforward approach. We try to specialize an open-sourced LLM into geoscience, by further pre-training the model with a vast amount of texts in geoscience, as well as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) the resulting model with our custom collected instruction tuning dataset. These efforts result in a model GeoGalactica consisting of 30 billion parameters. To our best knowledge, it is the largest language model for the geoscience domain.

Environmental Impact

During our cumulative training, 1,488,137.26 DCU hours were consumed, resulting in cumulative carbon emissions of 212 tCO_{2}eq. Our work provides a foundational model for subsequent geoscience researchers to fine-tune their smaller models, potentially reducing carbon emissions in their future work.

Ethical Considerations

This model inherits from Galactica, and in the training corpus, we have conducted sufficient data governance to ensure that the training data embodies geographical community, transparency, inclusiveness, respect for privacy, and topic neutrality.
