## Usage Note

It's important to note that the models have not undergone detoxification. Therefore, while they possess impressive linguistic capabilities, there is a possibility for them to generate content that could be deemed harmful or offensive. We urge users to exercise discretion and supervise the model's outputs closely, especially in public or sensitive applications.
