Overview
KARAKURI Inc. has developed a large language model called "KARAKURI LM 8x7B Instruct v0.1" using a mixture of experts (MoE) architecture that supports multiple languages, primarily English and Japanese, and is licensed under Apache 2.0. The model is a finetuned version of tokyotech-llm/Swallow-MX-8x7b-NVE-v0.1 and can be used for various tasks, including generating responses to user prompts, internet search, and retrieving relevant information from a database. The model's performance is evaluated using nine attributes, including helpfulness, correctness, coherence, complexity, verbosity, quality, toxicity, humor, and creativity. The model was trained on approximately 1 billion tokens of fine-tuning data, and its known limitations include the possibility of attempting to call unprovided tools.
Highlights
- 1. **Support for Function calling and RAG**: KARAKURI LM is the first domestic LLM to support Function calling and RAG. This enables the use of external tools and databases to collect and analyze information, allowing for the execution of more advanced tasks.
- 2. **Learning optimized for business implementation**: KARAKURI LM prioritizes business implementation in its development. This results in a model with high practicality among domestic models, suitable for immediate use in Japanese business scenarios.
- 3. **Development at low cost**: KARAKURI LM utilizes AWS Trainium to reduce development costs by up to 50%. This enables even medium and small-sized enterprises and ventures to develop large-scale language models.
