We introduce RakutenAI-7B, a suite of Japanese-oriented large language models
that achieve the best performance on the Japanese LM Harness benchmarks among
the open 7B models. Along with the foundation model, we release instruction-
and chat-tuned models, RakutenAI-7B-instruct and RakutenAI-7B-chat
respectively, under the Apache 2.0 license.
