HiTZ/Latxa-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

HiTZ/Latxa-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct is an 8 billion parameter instruction-tuned language model developed by HiTZ Research Center & IXA Research group, based on Meta's Llama-3.1 architecture. This model is specifically adapted for the Basque language, having been further trained on a 4.2 billion token Basque corpus. It significantly outperforms its Llama-3.1 counterpart on Basque benchmarks and is optimized for chat conversations and instruction following in Basque.
