Legal Assist AI: Lightweight LLM for Indian Legal Aid
A study published on arXiv presents Legal Assist AI, a framework designed to offer legal support in India. This system employs an 8-billion-parameter quantized Llama 3.1 model, further refined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques and targeted prompt engineering. It draws from a database of more than 600 legal texts, which includes the Indian Constitution and the recently passed Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The initiative seeks to enhance public access to legal information across India.
