We named project in Luotuo(Camel) because both LLaMA and alpaca are all belongs to Artiodactyla-Camelidae(偶蹄目-骆驼科)

News

[2023-3-27] We plan to train a ChatHarryPotter, we've just finished the prelimiary experiment and have ver. 0.1 model, but it did not meet our expectation, see this report, and we are pursuing a Harry Potter enthusiast Pythoner to join.

[2023-3-25] Luotuo-1.0 is in training! Thanks for all sponsors!

[2023-3-25] CamelBell(驼铃), tuning Chinese Data on Chinese base-model is now an individual repo. We may move original Luotuo into a new repo also .

A Quick Start

Colab Link		detail
CamelBell quick evaluation		Tuoling specific Evaluation Code
A quick evaluation		Evaluation code with standard HuggingFace pipeline
Bot with Interface		Interactive Chatting Bot using Gradio
Training Code	To be released	Training code, run on colab
Data Translation		Translation alpaca.json into Chinese

Trained Model

luotuo-lora-7b-0.3 the performance seems have significant improvement than 0.1, even just after 1 epoch.

But 1 epoch cost us 7 hours to train, which cost more than $10. We will keep continue tuning it later.

Qualitative Result(0.3)

Evaluation code are now in notebook/evaluation_code.ipynb

Training

We have tuned a Chinese LLaMA model baed on LLaMA, Stanford Alpaca, Alpaca LoRA, cabrita, Japanese-Alpaca-LoRA

The training code in in cleaning, if you are in very hurry, check the Japanese project and simply change the json training data file name.

Data

This is an inbuilding project

The training code only made a slightly change on the Japanese-Alpaca-LoRA

A. 0.1 version model was trained on translated data, which translate the alpaca_data.json to Chinese using ChatGPT API. We paid around US $30-45 to translate the full dataset to chinese. Translated data is available. (trans_chinese_alpaca_data.json)

B. We are also plan to consider the data in Guanaco hikariming's alpaca_chinese_dataset and carbonz0‘s alpaca-chinese-dataset, may updated it into later version.

We plan to upload two different models A and B, because the provider of B claim the clean data will bring significant improvement.

TODO and Be a Contributor

It seems that there are many follow-up tasks to be done after the basic version is completed. Many developers in the community have put forward more friendly suggestions, and I have put a longer TODO list in TODO_list.md.

inbuilding project

• [X] translate alpaca json data into Chinese
• [X] finetuning with lora(model 0.1)
• [X] release 0.1 model (model A)
• [X] model to hugging face, GUI demo
• [X] train lora with more alpaca data(model 0.3)
• [ ] (In Processing) train lora with more alpaca data(model 0.9)

We plan to use this Luotuo project as the git repository for the entire Chinese LLM project. After the completion of the original Luotuo: LLaMA-LoRA, it will be migrated to Luotuo-vanilla. The CamelBell, Loulan, Silk-Road and other derivative Chinese language model projects will gradually be added to the Luotuo project.
