LLM-jp-4 family of Japanese LLMs released with transparency focus

A new family of Japanese large language models, LLM-jp-4, has been introduced, featuring an 8B dense model and a 32B mixture-of-experts model. These models were trained on approximately 12 trillion tokens with a focus on transparency and reproducibility. Evaluations show significant improvements over previous LLM-jp versions and competitive performance against similar-scale open-weight models. AI

IMPACT Provides a reference for future sovereign AI development with transparent and reproducible LLM training.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a technical report detailing a new family of large language models, including their architecture, training data, and evaluation results. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]
