# YORI-LLaMA-Quantized
|
| 12 |
+
|
| 13 |
+
**YORI-LLaMA-Quantized** is a **Yoruba large language model** specialized in **text generation** and **AI-based assistance** in Yoruba.
|
| 14 |
+
It was **quantized** from its base model , [`Jacaranda/yorubaLLaMA`](https://huggingface.co/Jacaranda/yorubaLLaMA), to achieve lighter memory usage and faster inference while maintaining strong linguistic performance.
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
---
|
| 17 |
+
## 💬 Description
|
| 18 |
+
YORI-LLaMA-Quantized is trained to **generate and understand natural Yoruba text** with contextual fluency and syntactic awareness.
|
| 19 |
+
It can be used for:
|
| 20 |
+
|
| 21 |
+
- Yoruba **AI assistants**
|
| 22 |
+
- **fine-tuned for Chatbot**
|
| 23 |
+
- **Text completion**, storytelling, and creative generation
|
| 24 |
+
- **Language preservation** and computational linguistics research
|
| 25 |
+
|
| 26 |
+

|
| 27 |
+
|
| 28 |
+
## ⚠️ Limitations
|
| 29 |
+
|
| 30 |
+
- **Code-switching weakness:** The model struggles when Yoruba and English are mixed, leading to misinterpretations or incorrect tokens.
|
| 31 |
+
- **Numerical inaccuracies:** Occasionally produces factual errors, e.g., reporting *mẹ́ẹ̀dógún (15)* instead of *mẹ́rìndínlógójì (36)* for the number of Nigerian states.
|
| 32 |
+
- **Ambiguous prompts:** May output irrelevant or nonsensical responses when the query lacks clarity.
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
These limitations suggest the need for **more diverse and updated training data** across dialects and domains.
|
| 35 |
+

## ⚙️ Inference Notice
|
| 39 |
+
A key consideration when running inference is **model precision**.
|
| 40 |
+
YORI was quantized for efficiency, but inference should be performed in **FP16 precision** for stability and performance.
