119
+
120
+
121
+ ## Uses
122
+
123
+ *This section addresses questions around how the model is intended to be used, discusses the foreseeable users of the model (including those affected by the model), and describes uses that are considered out of scope or misuse of the model.
124
+ It provides information for anyone considering using the model or who is affected by the model.*
125
+
126
+
127
+ ### Intended Use
128
+
129
+ This model is being created in order to enable public research on large language models (LLMs). LLMs are intended to be used for language generation or as a pretrained base model that can be further fine-tuned for specific tasks. Use cases below are not exhaustive.
130
+
131
+ #### **Direct Use**
132

+
137
+ - Examples: Cloze tests, counterfactuals, generations with reframings
138
+
139
+ #### **Downstream Use**
140
+
141
+ - Tasks that leverage language models include: Information Extraction, Question Answering, Summarization
142
+
143
+ ### Misuse and Out-of-scope Use
144
+ *This section addresses what users ought not do with the model.*
145
+
146

147
+
148
+ #### **Out-of-scope Uses**
149
+
150
+ Using the model in [high-stakes](#high-stakes) settings is out of scope for this model.  The model is not designed for [critical decisions](#critical-decisions) nor uses with any material consequences on an individual's livelihood or wellbeing. The model outputs content that appears factual but is not correct.
151
+
152
+ ##### Out-of-scope Uses Include:
153
+
154
+ - Usage in biomedical domains, political and legal domains, or finance domains
155
+
156
+ - Usage for evaluating or scoring individuals, such as for employment, education, or credit
157
+
158
+ - Applying the model for critical automatic decisions, generating factual content, creating reliable summaries, or generating predictions that must be correct
159
+
160
+ #### **Misuse**
161
+
162
+ Intentionally using the model for harm, violating [human rights](#human-rights), or other kinds of malicious activities, is a misuse of this model. This includes:
163
+
164
+ - Spam generation
165
+
166
+ - Disinformation and influence operations
167
+
168
+ - Disparagement and defamation
169
+
170
+ - Harassment and abuse
171
+
172
+ - [Deception](#deception)
173
+
174
+ - Unconsented impersonation and imitation
175
+
176
+ - Unconsented surveillance
177
+
178
+ - Generating content without attribution to the model, as specified in the [RAIL License, Use Restrictions](https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigscience/license)
179
+
180
+ ### Intended Users

212
+
213
+
214
+ ## Bias, Risks and Limitations
215
+ *This section identifies foreseeable harms and misunderstandings.*
216
+
217
+
218
+ Model may:
219
+
220
+ - Overrepresent some viewpoints and underrepresent others
221
+
222
+ - Contain stereotypes

237
+
238
+ ### Recommendations
239
+
240
+ *This section provides information on warnings and potential mitigations.*
241
+
242
+
243
+ - Indirect users should be made aware when the content they're working with is created by the LLM.
244
+
245
+ - Users should be aware of [Risks and Limitations](#risks-and-limitations), and include an appropriate age disclaimer or blocking interface as necessary.
246
+
247
+ - Models pretrained with the LLM should include an updated Model Card.
248
+
249
+ - Users of the model should provide mechanisms for those affected to provide feedback, such as an email address for comments.
250
+
251
+
252
+ ## Training Data

+ ### **Training**
441
+
442
+ Training logs: [Tensorboard link](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/tr11e-350M-logs)
443
+
444
+ - Training throughput: About 150 TFLOPs per GPU
445
+
446
+ - Number of epochs: 1 (*current target*)
447
+
448
+ - Dates:
449
+
450
+ - Started 11th March, 2022 11:42am PST
451
+
452
+ - Ended 5th July, 2022
453
+
454
+ - Estimated cost of training: Equivalent of $2-5M in cloud computing (including preliminary experiments and other model sizes)
455
+
456
+ - Server training location: Île-de-France, France
457
+
458
+ ### **Tokenization**
459
+
460
+ The BLOOM tokenizer ([link](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/tokenizer)) is a learned subword tokenizer trained using:
461
+
462
+ - A byte-level Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) algorithm
463
+
464
+ - A simple pre-tokenization rule, no normalization
465
+
466
+ - A vocabulary size of 250,680
467
+
468
+ It was trained on a subset of a preliminary version of the corpus using alpha-weighting per language.

478
+ *This section defines common terms and how metrics are calculated.*
479
+
480
+ - <a name="loss">**Loss:**</a> A calculation of the difference between what the model has learned and what the data shows ("groundtruth"). The lower the loss, the better. The training process aims to minimize the loss.
481
+
482
+ - <a name="perplexity">**Perplexity:**</a> This is based on what the model estimates the probability of new data is. The lower the perplexity, the better. If the model is 100% correct at predicting the next token it will see, then the perplexity is 1. Mathematically this is calculated using entropy.
483
+
484
+ - <a name="high-stakes">**High-stakes settings:**</a> Such as those identified as "high-risk AI systems" and "unacceptable risk AI systems" in the European Union's proposed [Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act](https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/annexes/).
485
+
486
+ - <a name="critical-decisions">**Critical decisions:**</a> Such as those defined in [the United States' proposed Algorithmic Accountability Act](https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/s3572/BILLS-117s3572is.pdf).
487
+
488
+ - <a name="human-rights">**Human rights:**</a> Includes those rights defined in the [Universal Declaration of Human Rights](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf).
489
+
490
+ - <a name="personal-data-and-information">**Personal Data and Personal Information:**</a> Personal data and information is defined in multiple data protection regulations, such as "[personal data](https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/personal-data/)" in the [European Union's General Data Protection Regulation](https://gdpr-info.eu); and "personal information" in the Republic of South Africa's [Protection of Personal Information Act](https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/3706726-11act4of2013popi.pdf), The People's Republic of China's [Personal information protection law](http://en.npc.gov.cn.cdurl.cn/2021-12/29/c_694559.htm).
491
+
492
+ - <a name="sensitive-characteristics">**Sensitive characteristics:**</a> This includes specifically protected categories in human rights (see [UHDR, Article 2](https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf)) and personal information regulation (see GDPR, [Article 9; Protection of Personal Information Act, Chapter 1](https://www.gov.za/sites/default/files/gcis_document/201409/3706726-11act4of2013popi.pdf))
493
+
494
+ - <a name="deception">**Deception:**</a> Doing something to intentionally mislead individuals to believe something that is false, such as by creating deadbots or chatbots on social media posing as real people, or generating text documents without making consumers aware that the text is machine generated.
