# QuantFactory/InstructLM-500M-GGUF
This is quantized version of [instruction-pretrain/InstructLM-500M](https://huggingface.co/instruction-pretrain/InstructLM-500M) created using llama.cpp

# Model Description
## Instruction Pre-Training: Language Models are Supervised Multitask Learners
This repo contains the **general models pre-trained from scratch** in our paper [Instruction Pre-Training: Language Models are Supervised Multitask Learners](https://huggingface.co/papers/2406.14491).

We explore supervised multitask pre-training by proposing ***Instruction Pre-Training***, a framework that scalably augments massive raw corpora with instruction-response pairs to pre-train language models. The instruction-response pairs are generated by an efficient instruction synthesizer built on open-source models. In our experiments, we synthesize 200M instruction-response pairs covering 40+ task categories to verify the effectiveness of *Instruction Pre-Training*. Instruction Pre-Training* outperforms *Vanilla Pre-training* in both general pre-training from scratch and domain-adaptive continual pre-training. **In pre-training from scratch, *Instruction Pre-Training* not only improves pre-trained base models but also benefits more from further instruction tuning.** In continual pre-training, *Instruction Pre-Training* enables Llama3-8B to be comparable to or even outperform Llama3-70B.

## General Pre-Training From Scratch
We augment the [RefinedWeb corproa](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) with instruction-response pairs generated by our [context-based instruction synthesizer](https://huggingface.co/instruction-pretrain/instruction-synthesizer) to pre-train general langauge models from scratch.

To evaluate our general base model using the [lm-evaluation-harness framework](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness)

1. Setup dependencies:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness
cd lm-evaluation-harness
pip install -e .
```

2. Evalaute:
```bash
MODEL=instruction-pretrain/InstructLM-500M
add_bos_token=True # this flag is needed because lm-eval-harness set add_bos_token to False by default, but ours require add_bos_token to be True

accelerate launch -m lm_eval --model hf \
    --model_args pretrained=${MODEL},add_bos_token=${add_bos_token},dtype=float16  \
    --gen_kwargs do_sample=False \
    --tasks piqa,hellaswag,winogrande \
    --batch_size auto \
    --num_fewshot 0

accelerate launch -m lm_eval --model hf \
    --model_args pretrained=${MODEL},add_bos_token=${add_bos_token},dtype=float16 \
    --gen_kwargs do_sample=False \
    --tasks social_iqa,ai2_arc,openbookqa,boolq,mmlu \
    --batch_size auto \
    --num_fewshot 5
```
