Suzume - a Japanese tree sparrow

Suzume

[Paper] [Dataset]

This Suzume 8B, a Japanese finetune of Llama 3.

Llama 3 has exhibited excellent performance on many English language benchmarks. However, it also seemingly been finetuned on mostly English data, meaning that it will respond in English, even if prompted in Japanese.

We have fine-tuned Llama 3 on almost 3,000 Japanese conversations meaning that this model has the smarts of Llama 3 but has the added ability to chat in Japanese.
