NepaliGPT – Open-Source Nepali and English Language Model (MIT

Hacker News

I’m excited to share NepaliGPT, an open-source language model tailored for both Nepali and English, finetuned on high-quality Nepali datasets and built on Llama 3.1-8B-Instruct. It’s the first robust, freely available generative AI designed for Nepali, released under the MIT license. Why? Nepali is a low-resource language in the NLP world: foundational tools and models are scarce, and existing solutions are often closed or commercial. I built NepaliGPT to fill this gap and support open research, local application development, and broader innovation. How does it work? Finetuned with Hugging Face TRL & Unsloth for efficiency Supports Nepali and English for tasks like translation, summarization, code generation, and Q&A Built on Llama 3.1-8B-Instruct for strong baseline compatibility and performance Features: 1.MIT license: completely free for research and commercial use 2.Easy integration: Hugging Face compatible, safetensors available. 3.Excel in Nepali language than exiting models. 4.Sample outputs and usage docs included. Collaborate: I’m looking for feedback from linguists, devs, educators, and AI researchers Know of high-quality Nepali datasets or have real-world use cases? Let’s connect Contributors welcome for evaluations, dataset improvements, or downstream apps I hope NepaliGPT helps empower the open-source NLP ecosystem for Nepali and inspires similar work for low-resource languages. Looking forward to your feedback, questions, and ideas for partnership!
