What is RakutenAI-7B-instruct?
RakutenAI-7B-instruct is a state-of-the-art bilingual language model that excels in both Japanese and English language understanding. Built on the Mistral architecture, it features an expanded vocabulary of 48k tokens (increased from 32k) to better handle Japanese character encoding. The model achieves the highest scores on Japanese language benchmarks while maintaining competitive performance on English tasks.
Implementation Details
The model is built upon Mistral-7B-v0.1 pre-trained checkpoint and has been fine-tuned using a diverse mix of datasets including JSNLI, RTE, KUCI, BELEBELE, JCS, JNLI, Dolly-15K, and OpenAssistant1. The instruction-tuning process has been carefully designed to maintain strong performance across both Japanese and English tasks.
