|
| | ## Model Details |
| |
|
| | The EuroLLM project has the goal of creating a suite of LLMs capable of understanding and generating text in all European Union languages as well as some additional relevant languages. |
| | EuroLLM-9B is a 9B parameter model trained on 4 trillion tokens divided across the considered languages and several data sources: Web data, parallel data (en-xx and xx-en), and high-quality datasets. |
| | EuroLLM-9B-Instruct was further instruction tuned on EuroBlocks, an instruction tuning dataset with focus on general instruction-following and machine translation. |
| |
|
| |
|
| | ### Model Description |
| |
|
| | EuroLLM uses a standard, dense Transformer architecture: |
| | - We use grouped query attention (GQA) with 8 key-value heads, since it has been shown to increase speed at inference time while maintaining downstream performance. |
| | - We perform pre-layer normalization, since it improves the training stability, and use the RMSNorm, which is faster. |
| | - We use the SwiGLU activation function, since it has been shown to lead to good results on downstream tasks. |
| | - We use rotary positional embeddings (RoPE) in every layer, since these have been shown to lead to good performances while allowing the extension of the context length. |
| |
|
| | For pre-training, we use 400 Nvidia H100 GPUs of the Marenostrum 5 supercomputer, training the model with a constant batch size of 2,800 sequences, which corresponds to approximately 12 million tokens, using the Adam optimizer, and BF16 precision. |
| | Here is a summary of the model hyper-parameters: |

| | | Sequence Length | 4,096 | |
| | | Number of Layers | 42 | |
| | | Embedding Size | 4,096 | |
| | | FFN Hidden Size | 12,288 | |
| | | Number of Heads | 32 | |
| | | Number of KV Heads (GQA) | 8 | |
| | | Activation Function | SwiGLU | |
| | | Position Encodings | RoPE (\Theta=10,000) | |
| | | Layer Norm | RMSNorm | |
| | | Tied Embeddings | No | |
| | | Embedding Parameters | 0.524B | |
| | | LM Head Parameters | 0.524B | |

|
| | ## Run the model |
| | |
| | from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer |
| | |
| | model_id = "utter-project/EuroLLM-9B-Instruct" |
| | tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) |
| | model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id) |
| | |
| | messages = [ |
| | { |
| | "role": "system", |
| | "content": "You are EuroLLM --- an AI assistant specialized in European languages that provides safe, educational and helpful answers.", |
| | }, |
| | { |
| | "role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of Portugal? How would you describe it?" |
| | }, |
| | ] |
| | |
| | inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt") |
| | outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=1024) |
| | print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) |
| | |
| | ## Results |
| |
|
| | ### EU Languages |
| |
|
| |
|
| |  |
| | **Table 1:** Comparison of open-weight LLMs on multilingual benchmarks. The borda count corresponds to the average ranking of the models (see ([Colombo et al., 2022](https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.03799))). For Arc-challenge, Hellaswag, and MMLU we are using Okapi datasets ([Lai et al., 2023](https://aclanthology.org/2023.emnlp-demo.28/)) which include 11 languages. For MMLU-Pro and MUSR we translate the English version with Tower ([Alves et al., 2024](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17733)) to 6 EU languages. |
| | \* As there are no public versions of the pre-trained models, we evaluated them using the post-trained versions. |
| |
|
| | The results in Table 1 highlight EuroLLM-9B's superior performance on multilingual tasks compared to other European-developed models (as shown by the Borda count of 1.0), as well as its strong competitiveness with non-European models, achieving results comparable to Gemma-2-9B and outperforming the rest on most benchmarks. |
| |
|
| | ### English |
| |
|
| |
|
| |  |
| |
|
| | **Table 2:** Comparison of open-weight LLMs on English general benchmarks. |
| | \* As there are no public versions of the pre-trained models, we evaluated them using the post-trained versions. |
| |
|
| | The results in Table 2 demonstrate EuroLLM's strong performance on English tasks, surpassing most European-developed models and matching the performance of Mistral-7B (obtaining the same Borda count). |
| |
|
| | ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations |
| |
|
| | EuroLLM-9B has not been aligned to human preferences, so the model may generate problematic outputs (e.g., hallucinations, harmful content, or false statements). |
