+
+<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
+
+We fine-tuned [meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct) with a set of ca. 800 newspaper articles which have been simplified by the Austrian Press Agency. 
+Our aim was to have a model which can simplify German-language text.
+
+## Model Details
+
+### Model Description
+
+<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->
+
+
+
+- **Developed by:** Members of the [Public Interest AI research group](https://publicinterest.ai/), [HIIG Berlin](https://www.hiig.de/)
+- **Model type:** simplification model, text generation
+- **Language(s) (NLP):** German
+- **License:** Apache 2.0
+- **Finetuned from model:** meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct
+
+### Model Sources
+
+<!-- Provide the basic links for the model. -->
+
+- **Repository:** https://github.com/fhewett/simba
+<!-- - **Paper [optional]:** [More Information Needed] -->
+- **Project website:** https://publicinterest.ai/tool/simba
+
+## Uses
+
+<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
+
+### Direct Use
+
+<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->
+
+This model works best for simplifying German-language newspaper articles (news items, not commentaries or editorials). It may work for other types of texts.
+
+### Downstream Use
+
+<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->
+We have fine-tuned using only newspaper articles. We have not yet performed extensive out-of-domain testing, but believe that the model's capabilities could be improved by fine-tuning on more diverse data. Contact us if you have a dataset which you think could work (parallel texts, German standard & German simplified).
+
+<!-- ### Out-of-Scope Use -->
+
+<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->
+
+## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
+
+<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->
+
+As with most text generation models, the model sometimes produces information that is incorrect. 
+
+### Recommendations
+
+<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->
+
+Please check manually that your output text corresponds to the input text, as factual inconsistencies may have arisen.
