Caracal_GPT

This model is a Continuous Pre-trained (CPT) model, adapted from lelapa/InkubaLM-0.4B on the custom dataset. In this new model we add different languages from Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Western Africa, Somalia, Ethiopia; sub-saharan Africa.

Model description

Caracal GPT is a small causal model that can be used for fine-tuning tasks. It's goal is to be used by the represented language speaker for fine-tuning to a certain language task.

The Pre-trained LM was trained on 20+ African languages, introducing Kenyan lanugages and other languages not widely available in many datasets - Luo (luo), Kamba (kam) , Maasai (mas), Somalia (som), etc.

Intended uses & limitations

The model is to be used for fine-tuning on instruction set data for the given languages.
