# Open-Assistant SFT-4 12B Model


This is the 4th iteration English supervised-fine-tuning (SFT) model of 
the [Open-Assistant](https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant) project. 
It is based on a Pythia 12B that was fine-tuned on human demonstrations 
of assistant conversations collected through the 
[https://open-assistant.io/](https://open-assistant.io/) human feedback web 
app before March 25, 2023. 

## Model Details

- **Developed by:** [Open-Assistant Contributors](https://open-assistant.io/)
- **Model type:** Transformer-based Language Model
- **Language:** English
- **Finetuned from:** [EleutherAI / pythia-12b-deduped](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/pythia-12b-deduped)
- **Code:** [Open-Assistant/model/model_training](https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant/tree/main/model/model_training)
- **Demo:** [Continuations for 250 random prompts](https://open-assistant.github.io/oasst-model-eval/?f=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FOpen-Assistant%2Foasst-model-eval%2Fmain%2Fsampling_reports%2Foasst-sft%2F2023-04-03_andreaskoepf_oasst-sft-4-pythia-12b-epoch-3_5_sampling_noprefix_lottery.json%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FOpen-Assistant%2Foasst-model-eval%2Fmain%2Fsampling_reports%2Fchat-gpt%2F2023-04-11_gpt-3.5-turbo_lottery.json)

## Prompting

Two special tokens are used to mark the beginning of user and assistant turns:
`<|prompter|>` and `<|assistant|>`. Each turn ends with a `<|endoftext|>` token.

Input prompt example:
```
<|prompter|>What is a meme, and what's the history behind this word?<|endoftext|><|assistant|>
```
The input ends with the `<|assistant|>` token to signal that the model should 
start generating the assistant reply.
