Dicta-LM 3.0: Advancing The Frontier of Hebrew Sovereign LLMs

Dicta-LM 3.0 is a powerful open-weight collection of LLMs, trained on extensive corpora of Hebrew and English texts. The models are available for download and for unlimited use. The models set a new SOTA for their weight-class for Hebrew, both as base models and chat models.

This is the 12-billion-parameter Hybrid-SSM base model, originally initialized from NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2-Base.

This version of the model is quantized to 4-bits (with 16-bit activations), allowing for inference with significantly less memory although with slightly weaker performance.

For full details of this model please read our release blog post or the technical report.

Note: This is not a chat model; rather this is a base model that can be further fine-tuned. Chat model variants are available at the link below.

You can view and access the full collection of base/instruct unquantized/quantized versions of DictaLM 3.0 here.

Usage

vLLM

vllm serve dicta-il/DictaLM-3.0-Nemotron-12B-Base-W4A16 --trust-remote-code

Notice

DictaLM-3.0-Nemotron-12B-Base-W4A16 is a pretrained base model and therefore does not have any moderation mechanisms.
