Dicta-LM 3.0: Advancing The Frontier of Hebrew Sovereign LLMs

Dicta-LM 3.0 is a powerful open-weight collection of LLMs, trained on extensive corpora of Hebrew and English texts. The models are available for download and for unlimited use. The models set a new SOTA for their weight-class for Hebrew, both as base models and chat models.

This is the 1.7-billion-parameter base model, originally initialized from Qwen3-1.7B-Base.

This version of the model is quantized to 4-bits (with 16-bit activations), allowing for inference with significantly less memory although with weaker performance.

For full details of this model please read our release blog post or the technical report.

Note: This is not a chat model; rather this is a base model that can be further fine-tuned. Chat model variants are available at the link below.

You can view and access the full collection of base/instruct unquantized/quantized versions of DictaLM 3.0 here.

Usage

vLLM

vllm serve dicta-il/DictaLM-3.0-1.7B-Base-W4A16

Notice

DictaLM-3.0-1.7B-Base-W4A16 is a pretrained base model and therefore does not have any moderation mechanisms.
