BigScience Large Open-science Open-access Multilingual Language Model
Version 1.3 / 6 July 2022

Current Checkpoint: Training Iteration 95000

Link to paper: here

Total seen tokens: 366B


Model Details

BLOOM is an autoregressive Large Language Model (LLM), trained to continue text from a prompt on vast amounts of text data using industrial-scale computational resources. As such, it is able to output coherent text in 46 languages and 13 programming languages that is hardly distinguishable from text written by humans. BLOOM can also be instructed to perform text tasks it hasn't been explicitly trained for, by casting them as text generation tasks.

Preprocessing

Tokenization: The BLOOM tokenizer (link), a learned subword tokenizer trained using:

  • A byte-level Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) algorithm

  • A simple pre-tokenization rule, no normalization

  • A vocabulary size of 250,680

It was trained on a subset of a preliminary version of the corpus using alpha-weighting per language.

  • Usage for evaluating or scoring individuals, such as for employment, education, or credit

  • Applying the model for critical automatic decisions, generating factual content, creating reliable summaries, or generating predictions that must be correct

Misuse

Intentionally using the model for harm, violating human rights, or other kinds of malicious activities, is a misuse of this model. This includes:

  • Spam generation

  • Disinformation and influence operations

  • Disparagement and defamation

  • Harassment and abuse

  • Deception

Recommendations

This section provides information on warnings and potential mitigations.

Click to expand
  • Indirect users should be made aware when the content they're working with is created by the LLM.

  • Users should be aware of Risks and Limitations, and include an appropriate age disclaimer or blocking interface as necessary.

  • Models trained or finetuned downstream of BLOOM LM should include an updated Model Card.

  • Users of the model should provide mechanisms for those affected to provide feedback, such as an email address for comments.
