**Llama-3-Typhoon-1.5-8B: Thai Large Language Model (Pretrained)**

**Typhoon-8B** is a *pretrained only* Thai 🇹🇭 large language model with 8 billion parameters, and it is based on Llama3-8B.

For release notes, please see our [blog](https://blog.opentyphoon.ai/typhoon-1-5-release-a9364cb8e8d7). *To acknowledge Meta's effort in creating the foundation model and to comply with the license, we explicitly include "llama-3" in the model name.

## **Model Description**

- **Model type**: A 8B pretrained decoder-only model based on Llama architecture.
- **Requirement**: transformers 4.38.0 or newer.
- **Primary Language(s)**: Thai 🇹🇭 and English 🇬🇧
- **License**: [Llama 3 Community License](https://llama.meta.com/llama3/license/)

## **Intended Uses & Limitations**

This model is a pretrained base model. Thus, it may not be able to follow human instructions without using one/few-shot learning or instruction fine-tuning. The model does not have any moderation mechanisms, and may generate harmful or inappropriate responses.
