Model Description

GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1 is an LLM-based translation model. It has been fintuned on GemmaX2-28-2B-Pretrain, which is a language model developed through continual pretraining of Gemma2-2B using a mix of 56 billion tokens from both monolingual and parallel data across 28 different languages. Please find more details in our paper: Multilingual Machine Translation with Open Large Language Models at Practical Scale: An Empirical Study.

• Developed by: Xiaomi
• Model type: GemmaX2-28-2B-Pretrain is obtained by continually pretraining Gemma2-2B on a large amount of monolingual and parallel data. Subsequently, GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1 is derived through supervised finetuning on a small set of high-quality translation instruction data.
• Languages: Arabic, Bengali, Czech, German, English, Spanish, Persian, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Malay, Burmese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Tagalog, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese, Chinese.

Model Performance

Run the model

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "ModelSpace/GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

text = "Translate this from Chinese to English:\nChinese: 我爱机器翻译\nEnglish:"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Limitations

GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1 only supports the 28 languages listed above and does not guarantee strong translation performance for other languages. We will continue to enhance the translation performance of GemmaX2-28-2B, and future models will be released in due course.
