# TW-Pythia-6.9B-Chat
**Taiwanese Mandarin Pythia Language Model, instruction-tuned for dialogue.**
Version 0.2
## Model Details
The TW-Pythia model is derived from the Apache-2.0-licenced [Pythia](https://github.com/EleutherAI/pythia) language model, with 8000 new Traditional Chinese tokens added, embed layers resized and re-trained.
### Basics
- **Developed by:** [@zetavg](https://github.com/zetavg) based on [EleutherAI](https://www.eleuther.ai/)'s [Pythia](https://github.com/EleutherAI/pythia) language model.
- **Model type:** Transformer-based GPT-NeoX Causal Language Model
- **Languages:** English, Traditional Chinese
- **License:** Unknown due to unconfirmed usage license of the training data
- **Derived from model:** [EleutherAI/pythia-6.9b](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/pythia-6.9b)
### Model Sources
- **Repository:** https://github.com/zetavg/twlm
- **Demo:** See https://hackmd.io/@z/twlm-demo
## Uses
Currently, this model has not demonstrated any practical value in Traditional Chinese processing without further training, but it does possess some basic Chinese-English translation capabilities.
## Training Details
### Training Data
* 200k [English ↔ Traditional Chinese Sentences from the COCT Database](zetavg/coct-en-zh-tw-translations-twp-300k).
* ~8k English and Traditional Chinese mixed [ShareGPT data](zetavg/ShareGPT-Processed).
### Training Procedure
First, we build a BPE tokenizer based on the original Pythia tokenizer with 8000 new Traditional Chinese tokens added.
Then, we resize the embedding layer of the `pythia-6.9b` model to accommodate the new vocabulary size, and we train only the input/output embedding layers to allow the model to learn the new Traditional Chinese words and phrases.
At last, LoRA weights are added to the model and fine-tuned for instruction following.
#### Training Hyperparameters
- **Training regime:** `fp32`
- See: https://github.com/zetavg/twlm/blob/main/configs/ta01_p7b.yaml
### Hardware
* 1xH100 80GB GPU on Lambda Cloud (with Skypilot), about 20h in total.
