Model Description
LLaMAX is a language model with powerful multilingual capabilities without loss instruction-following capabilities.
We collected extensive training sets in 102 languages for continued pre-training of Llama2 and leveraged the English instruction fine-tuning dataset, Alpaca, to fine-tune its instruction-following capabilities.
๐ฅ Effortless Multilingual Translation with a Simple Prompt
LLaMAX supports translation between more than 100 languages, surpassing the performance of similarly scaled LLMs.
def Prompt_template(query, src_language, trg_language):
instruction = f'Translate the following sentences from {src_language} to {trg_language}.'
prompt = (
'Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. '
'Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n'
f'### Instruction:\n{instruction}\n'
f'### Input:\n{query}\n### Response:'
)
return prompt
And then run the following codes to execute translation:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_WEIGHTS)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(PATH_TO_CONVERTED_TOKENIZER)
query = "ไฝ ๅฅฝ๏ผไปๅคฉๆฏไธชๅฅฝๆฅๅญ"
prompt = Prompt_template(query, 'Chinese', 'English')
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
generate_ids = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, max_length=30)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
# => "Hello, today is a good day"
๐ฅ Excellent Translation Performance
LLaMAX achieves an average spBLEU score improvement of over 10 points compared to the LLaMA2-Alpaca model on the Flores-101 dataset.

๐ฅ Effective Base Model for Multilingual Task
LLaMAX preserves its efficacy in general tasks and improves the performance on multilingual tasks. We fine-tuned LLaMAX using only the English training set of downstream task, which also shows significant improvements in non-English. We provide fine-tuning LLaMAX models for the following three tasks:

abstract = "Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable translation capabilities in high-resource language tasks, yet their performance in low-resource languages is hindered by insufficient multilingual data during pre-training. To address this, we conduct extensive multilingual continual pre-training on the LLaMA series models, enabling translation support across more than 100 languages. Through a comprehensive analysis of training strategies, such as vocabulary expansion and data augmentation, we develop LLaMAX. Remarkably, without sacrificing its generalization ability, LLaMAX achieves significantly higher translation performance compared to existing open-source LLMs (by more than 10 spBLEU points) and performs on-par with specialized translation model (M2M-100-12B) on the Flores-101 benchmark. Extensive experiments indicate that LLaMAX can serve as a robust multilingual foundation model. The code and the models are publicly available.",
