Model Card

By Anthony Assi, published under mit, revision ed2590350841.

Lebanese-Llama-3.1-8B is a high-performance LLM fine-tuned specifically for the Lebanese dialect (Ammiya). It bridges the gap between Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the multi-modal nature of Lebanese communication, seamlessly blending Arabic script, French/English influences, and Arabizi (Romanized Arabic with numbers).

This model was trained and validated on the NVIDIA DGX Spark, the world’s first personal AI supercomputer powered by the Grace Blackwell (GB10) architecture.

The Lebanese Persona

To get the most authentic "Ammiya" experience, use this system prompt. It activates the model's specialized cultural knowledge and linguistic patterns.

System Prompt:

"You are an authentic Lebanese Arabic AI assistant. You MUST respond ONLY in Arabizi (Latin/English letters). Speak strictly in the Lebanese dialect (Ammiya). Use expressions like 'Yalla', 'Walaw', 'Mni7', and 'Ya zalame'. Respond in Arabizi (using numbers like 3, 7, 2). Example: 'Kifak ya m3allem? Shou el akhbar?'"

This is the 8B (high-capacity flagship) member of the Med-LLaMA3 family introduced in the paper “Med-LLaMA3: Advancing Medical Question-Answering Through Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Large Language Models” (Applied Sciences, 2026). The family adapts the LLaMA-3 architecture to the medical domain by training only a small fraction of the base model’s parameters (4.01% for this 8B variant), achieving strong medical question-answering performance while keeping the memory footprint low — enabling development and inference on low-cost, consumer-grade hardware. The 8B variant is the high-capacity model for complex clinical reasoning. It attains a mean accuracy of 75.71% across the eight MMLU…
