# Model Card for GemmaX2-28

## Model Details

### Model Description

GemmaX2-28-2B-Pretrain is a language model that results from continual pretraining of Gemma2-2B on a mix of 56 billion tokens of monolingual and parallel data in 28 different languages — Arabic, Bengali, Czech, German, English, Spanish, Persian, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Malay, Burmese, Dutch, polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Tagalog, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese, Chinese. 

GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1 is the model version of GemmaX2-28-2B-Pretrain after SFT.

- **Developed by:** Xiaomi
- **Model type:** A 2B parameter model base on Gemma2, we obtained GemmaX2-28-2B-Pretrain by continuing pre-training on a large amount of monolingual and parallel data. Afterward, GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1 was derived through supervised fine-tuning on a small set of high-quality instruction data.
- **Language(s):** Arabic, Bengali, Czech, German, English, Spanish, Persian, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Malay, Burmese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Tagalog, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese, Chinese.

## Run the model

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "ModelSpace/GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

text = "Translate this from Chinese to English:\nChinese: 我爱机器翻译\nEnglish:"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## Limitations

GemmaX2-28-2B-v0.1 supports only the 28 most commonly used languages and does not guarantee powerful translation performance for other languages. Additionally, we will continue to improve GemmaX2-28-2B's translation performance, and future models will be release in due course.
