Lumma-0.6B-Instruct

Introduction

Lumma-0.6B-Instruct is a compact, efficient multilingual language model designed for strong performance in resource-constrained environments. It is pre-trained from scratch on 1 trillion tokens and further enhanced through instruction tuning and Direct Preference Optimisation. This is a pre-RL checkpoint. The model supports English and 10 Indic languages.

Benchmark results

We benchmarked Lumma-0.6B-Instruct across multiple benchmarks, with an intentional focus on instruction-following capabilities. Despite its compact size, Lumma-0.6B-Instruct is able to match or outperform similar models up to 3× larger on several instruction-following benchmarks.

While the model also delivers decent performance on mathematics and coding, we believe these capabilities are less critical for the primary real-world use cases targeted by such a small model, where developers typically prioritize efficient and reliable instruction following.

We expect further improvements with the RL-trained version of Lumma-0.6B-Instruct, particularly as we continue optimizing the model for real-world instruction-following tasks.

🌍 Supported Languages

The model is trained on English and a diverse set of Indic languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia
