What is ChatLaw-13B?
ChatLaw-13B is an academic legal language model specifically designed for legal consultation and reasoning. Based on the Ziya-LLaMA-13B-v1 architecture, it has been trained on a comprehensive dataset including legal news, forums, regulations, judicial interpretations, legal consultations, bar exam questions, and court decisions.
Implementation Details
The model leverages the strong Chinese language capabilities of the Ziya-LLaMA base model while incorporating specialized legal knowledge through carefully curated training data. Due to LLaMA licensing restrictions, the complete weights cannot be directly distributed, requiring users to merge them independently.
