+###  Model Description
+
+This HF repository contains base LLMs instruction tuned (SFT) with LoRA and then used to study whether monolingual or multilingual instruction tuning is more favourable.
+* [GitHub](https://github.com/hplt-project/monolingual-multilingual-instruction-tuning/tree/main)
+* [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.08958)
+
+#### Instruction tuning details
+* Base model: [EleutherAI/pythia-1b-deduped](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/pythia-1b-deduped)
+* Instruction tuning language: multilingual (Bulgarian, Czech, Chinese, German, Finnish, French, Russian, and Spanish)
+* Training method: LoRA.
+* LoRA details: rank=8, alpha=16, target modules={key, query, value}.
+* Best checkpoint: best cross-entropy on a validation set, trained for 5 epochs.
+* Dataset: machine-translated from [yahma/alpaca-cleaned](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yahma/alpaca-cleaned). You can download our data [HERE](https://github.com/hplt-project/monolingual-multilingual-instruction-tuning/tree/main/training-data).
+
+#### Usage
+The model checkpoint should be loaded with the base model together using `transformers` and `peft` libraries.
+
+Please refer to our Github repository [HERE](https://github.com/hplt-project/monolingual-multilingual-instruction-tuning/tree/main/loraft) for inference and training instructions.
