## What is Maral?

_Maral_ is just a new large lanugage model, specializing on the Persian language. This model is based on [Mistral](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1) and trained an _Alpaca Persian_ dataset. This model is one of the few efforts in Persian speaking scene in order to bring our language to a new life in the era of AI.

Also, since Maral is based on Mistral, it's capable of producing English answers as well. 

### What does "Maral" mean?

Maral is the Persian name of [Red Deer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_deer), which is a native species of deers in Iran. The name has chosen for quite a few reasons, one of them is that the environmental concerns we have and second, since it's a Persian LLM, made by Iranian people, it deserves an Iranian name.
