# Typhoon-7B: Thai Large Language Model
**Typhoon-7B** is a *pretrained* Thai 🇹🇠large language model with 7 billion parameters, and it is based on Mistral-7B.
**Typhoon-7B** outperforms all open-source Thai language models at the time of writing as evaluated on Thai examination benchmarks, and its instruction-tuned variant achieves the best results in instruction-following tasks. Also, its performance in Thai is on par with GPT-3.5 while being 2.62 times more efficient in tokenizing Thai text.
For full details of this model, please read our [paper]() and [release blog post]().
## Model Description
- **Model type**: A 7B pretrained decoder-only model
- **Requirement**: transformers 4.34.0 or newer.
- **Primary Language(s)**: Thai 🇹🇠and English 🇬🇧
- **License**: Apache-2.0 (Commercial)

## Intended Uses & Limitations
This model is a pretrained base model. Thus, it may not be able to follow human instructions without using one/few-shot learning or instruction fine-tuning. The model does not have any moderation mechanisms, and may generate harmful or inappropriate responses.
