# 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, with full precision (BF16), originally initialized from [Qwen3-1.7B-Base](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B-Base).

For full details of this model please read our [release blog post](https://dicta.org.il/dicta-lm-3) or the [technical report](https://www.dicta.org.il/publications/DictaLM_3_0___Techincal_Report.pdf).

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](https://huggingface.co/collections/dicta-il/dictalm-30-collection).

## Usage


### Transformers

```python
from transformers import pipeline
import torch

# This loads the model onto the GPU in bfloat16 precision
model = pipeline('text-generation', 'dicta-il/DictaLM-3.0-1.7B-Base', torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map='auto')

# Sample few shot examples
prompt = """
עבר: הלכתי
עתיד: אלך

עבר: שמרתי
עתיד: אשמור

עבר: שמעתי
עתיד: אשמע

עבר: הבנתי
עתיד:
"""

print(model(prompt.strip(), do_sample=False, max_new_tokens=8, stop_sequence='\n'))
[{'generated_text': 'עבר: הלכתי\nעתיד: אלך\n\nעבר: שמרתי\nעתיד: אשמור\n\nעבר: שמעתי\nעתיד: אשמע\n\nעבר: הבנתי\nעתיד: אבין\n\nעבר: חשבתי'}]
```

### vLLM

```bash
vllm serve dicta-il/DictaLM-3.0-1.7B-Base 
```

## Notice

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