The model released is called Latam-GPT, the first large-scale open-source language model developed specifically for Latin America and the Caribbean. Its size is 70 billion parameters (70B). It is a continuous pre-training (CPT) adaptation of Meta’s Llama 3.1 70B base model, trained on a regionally-curated corpus of ~300 billion tokens that emphasize Latin American languages, cultures, and contexts.
