Instruction-fine-tuned German language model (6B parameters; early alpha version)

Base model: malteos/bloom-6b4-clp-german (Ostendorff and Rehm, 2023)

Trained on:

• 20B additional German tokens (Wikimedia dumps and OSCAR 2023)
• OpenAssistant/oasst1 (German subset)
• LEL-A/translated_german_alpaca_validation
• LEL-A's version of deepset/germandpr
