# MaLLaM 🌙 1.1B (Malaysia Large Language Model), Pretrain 1.1B 4096 context length on Malaysian text

Pretrain from scratch 1.1B parameters using Mistral architecture on 90B Malaysian text tokens.

README at https://github.com/mesolitica/malaya/tree/5.1/pretrained-model/mistral

- Trained on 90B tokens, gathered at https://github.com/malaysia-ai/dedup-text-dataset/tree/main/pretrain-llm
- We use Ray cluster to train on 5 nodes of 4x A100 80GB, https://github.com/malaysia-ai/jupyter-gpu/tree/main/ray

import torch

    bnb_4bit_use_double_quant=True,
    bnb_4bit_compute_dtype=getattr(torch, TORCH_DTYPE)
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mesolitica/mallam-1.1B-4096')

    'mesolitica/mallam-1.1B-4096',
    use_flash_attention_2 = True,
    quantization_config = nf4_config
)
prompt = '<s>nama saya'
