Meet LeoLM, the First Open and Commercially Available German Foundation Language Model

A Variant of Meta's Llama 2-13B Chat Model

LeoLM is a variant of Meta's Llama 2-13B Chat model that has been finetuned on an additional dataset in the German language. This model is optimized for German and provides improved performance on a range of natural language processing tasks in German. LeoLM is the first open and commercially available German Foundation Language Model built on Llama-2.

Extending Llama-2's Capabilities into German

LeoLM extends Llama-2's capabilities into German through additional training on a large corpus of German text. This training allows LeoLM to understand and generate German text more accurately and fluently. LeoLM can be used for a variety of applications, including:

• Natural language understanding
• Natural language generation
• Machine translation
• Question answering
• Text classification

GGUF Format Model Files

This repository contains GGUF format model files for Florian Zimmermeister's Llama 2-13B German Assistant v4. GGUF is a new format introduced by the llamacpp team on August 21st, 2023. GGUF format model files are smaller and faster to load than traditional model files, making them ideal for deployment in resource-constrained environments.

Conclusion

LeoLM is a powerful and versatile German language model that can be used for a wide range of natural language processing tasks. LeoLM's open and commercially available nature makes it a valuable tool for researchers and developers who are working on German language applications. We encourage you to explore LeoLM and see for yourself how it can help you to build innovative and effective language-based solutions.
