Overview

yentinglin/Taiwan-LLM-13B-v2.0-chat is a 13 billion parameter GPT-like model primarily focused on Traditional Chinese (zh-tw). Developed by Yen-Ting Lin and Yun-Nung Chen in collaboration with Ubitus K.K., this model is fine-tuned from yentinglin/Taiwan-LLM-13B-v2.0-base using a mix of publicly available and synthetic datasets. Its development emphasizes aligning with Taiwan's specific linguistic and cultural contexts.
