A project releasing Chinese-adapted LLaMA-2 base models and Alpaca-2 instruction-tuned chat models with an extended Chinese vocabulary, including 16K/64K long-context variants and RLHF-aligned versions. It provides pretraining and instruction-tuning scripts plus local quantized deployment guides compatible with the LLaMA ecosystem (transformers, llama.cpp, vLLM, LangChain).

Use cases

• run a chinese instruction-tuned llm locally
• fine-tune llama-2 on chinese text
• deploy a chinese chatbot on cpu or gpu
• process long documents with 64k context llm
• quantize a chinese llama model for local inference
• align an llm with human preferences using rlhf

When to choose

• you need strong Chinese language understanding or generation from an open Llama-2 model
• you want long-context (16K/64K) Chinese models
• you want to further pretrain or instruction-tune on your own Chinese data
• you need locally deployable quantized Chinese chat models

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose English-first LLM
• you want the newest generation - Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-3 supersedes this project
• you need multimodal (vision) capabilities
• you cannot run models locally and prefer a hosted API
