⚓️ Sailor: A New Multilingual Open LLM for South-East Asia 🌏
Last month we have released a new family of multilingual language models called **Sailor**, ranging from 0.5B to 7B parameters, continually pre-trained from the Qwen1.5 models. Based on our extensive benchmarking, the Sailor models demonstrate exceptional performance on South-East Asian languages, taking us one step closer to multilingual LLMs that can serve the diverse needs of the region and beyond.
Today, we're more than excited to share the key technical details behind the Sailor models! 💪
**Key highlights**:
🔍 Data curation: Merging short examples, document-level code-switching, aggressive data cleaning and deduplication.
🤖 Tokenization Robustness: We find that BPE dropout is really effective to deal with prompt variations.
🔍 Optimizing Data Mixture: We propose a new approach to automatically balance capabilities across different languages!
🌟 Recipe in Continual Pre-training: We discover a powerful metric that can help predict how well the Sailor models will perform on the original domain (e.g., English) after continual pre-training.
We are thrilled to share these technical details with the community and invite you to explore the Sailor models. We hope Sailor models take us one step closer to multilingual LLMs in the world! 🌍✨
To learn more, please access our research paper or reach out to our team.

Simple and Scalable Strategies to Continually Pre-train Large Language Models
Simple and Scalable Strategies to Continually Pre-train Large Language Models (2403.08763)
Large language models (LLMs) are routinely pre-trained on billions of tokens, only to start the process over again once new data becomes available. A much more efficient solution is to continually pre-train these models, saving significant compute compared to re-training. However, the distribution shift induced by new data typically results in degraded performance on previous data or poor adaptation to the new data. In this work, we show that a simple and scalable combination of learning rate (LR) re-warming, LR re-decaying, and replay of previous data is sufficient to match the performance of fully re-training from scratch on all available data, as measured by final loss and language model (LM) evaluation benchmarks. Specifically, we show this for a weak but realistic distribution shift between two commonly used LLM pre-training datasets (EnglishrightarrowEnglish) and a stronger distribution shift (EnglishrightarrowGerman) at the 405M parameter model scale with large dataset sizes (hundreds of billions of tokens). Selecting the weak but realistic shift for larger-scale experiments, we also find that our continual learning strategies match the re-training baseline for a 10B parameter LLM. Our results demonstrate that LLMs can be successfully updated via simple and scalable continual learning strategies, matching the re-training baseline using only a fraction of the compute. Finally, inspired by previous work, we propose alternatives to the cosine learning rate schedule that help circumvent forgetting induced by LR re-warming and that are not bound to a fixed token budget.

Komodo-7B is here !! Today we are releasing the base version of Komodo-7B along with the technical report.
Komodo-7B is a family of LLMs that consist of Komodo-7B-Base and Komodo-7B-Instruct.
Komodo-7B performers really good in multiple Indonesian languages including Indonesian, Acehnese, Balinese, Banjarese, Buginese, Dayak Ngaju, Javanese, Lampungnese, Madurese, Minangkabau, Sundanese, and Toba Batak.
Our model outperforms various existing large language models including some multilingual models.
Technical Report: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.09362
Base Model HuggingFace: Yellow-AI-NLP/komodo-7b-base

Panda-70M is a new large-scale video dataset comprising 70 million high-quality video clips, each paired with textual captions, designed to be used as pre-training for video understanding tasks.
Key Points:
* Automatic Caption Generation: Utilizes an automatic pipeline with multiple cross-modality teacher models to generate captions for video clips.
* Fine-tuned Caption Selection: Employs a fine-tuned retrieval model to select the most appropriate caption from multiple candidates for each video clip.
* Improved Performance: Pre-training on Panda-70M shows significant performance gains in video captioning, text-video retrieval, and text-driven video generation.

🎉🥳🎉
Today, we are thrilled to officially launch the "2A2I" Arabic Artificial Intelligence Initiative. This is a community-driven initiative founded on the philosophy of "Small team, Big work" Our goal is to elevate Arabic AI (LLMs, Diffusion Models, ASR, etc.) to the same level as English (and also Chinese 🐉).
Naturally, our focus today is primarily on datasets. We aim to provide high-quality datasets, especially for LLMs this month, to support our future efforts. In line with this, we're excited to introduce the Arabic version of H4-no_robots, find here : 2A2I/H4_no_robots (and yes, we know it's not "no_robots" anymore 😄). Stay tuned for more exciting, high-quality datasets in the next couple of weeks (+ 4 million rows🔥)
In parallel, we're also developing a model 🐪 that we hope will set new high standards for Arabic LLMs. 🔥 This model is planned for release in the coming months.
For more information, please visit our Organization card here : https://huggingface.co/2A2I
If you're interested in Arabic AI and want to help pushing the wheel as well, fill out this form, and let us know your motivation and your exciting ideas 🔥
The form link : https://forms.gle/kZLVuynWFU2FyTm57
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at the email address below.
Additionally, if you believe as we do in this mission and would like to help this community and contribute some compute resources 😉 or any other form of help you might think about, please contact us at the same email address below or reach out to me through LinkedIn 🔥
