Training Data

This section provides a high-level overview of the training data. It is relevant for anyone who wants to know the basics of what the model is learning.

We trained the 3B parameter model on a total of 13 Billion tokens of mostly high quality Traditional Chinese text. Details are provided in the paper .

Risks and Limitations

This section identifies foreseeable harms and misunderstandings.

For risks and limitations, please refer to BLOOM .

Factors

This section lists some different aspects of BLOOM models. Its focus is on those aspects that are likely to give rise to high variance in model behavior.

• The model is trained on Traditional Chinese. However, the pretrained weights capture more than 40 different languages.

• The model is trained on web crawled data, news articles, novels, knowledge sources (encyclopedia, education sector) and instructions.

Recommendations

This section provides information on warnings and potential mitigations.
