Tulu 7B

This model is a 7B LLaMa model finetuned on a mixture of instruction datasets (FLAN V2, CoT, Dolly, Open Assistant 1, GPT4-Alpaca, Code-Alpaca, and ShareGPT). Please note this is a model diff - see below for usage instructions.

This was trained as part of the paper How Far Can Camels Go? Exploring the State of Instruction Tuning on Open Resources. The codebase used to train and evaluate this model can be found at https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct.

This model is licensed under the AI model license given in LICENSE.txt along with the original Llama license (llama_license.txt).

Usage

We assume you have access to a LLaMa model in HF format already. You can find details on getting access and converting the model here: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/llama

Clone https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct and install the required dependencies, or just copy scripts/weight_diff.py and install the minimal requirements listed in weight-diff-requirements.txt. Then download or clone this model diff to the same machine.

Then, run:

python scripts/weight_diff.py recover --path_raw ${hf_llama_path} --path_tuned ${output_path} --path_diff ${diff_location}

And you will have a recovered model! Note this takes up a decent amount of RAM, especially for the larger models.

Input Format

The model is trained to use the following format (note the newlines):

<|user|>
Your message here!
<|assistant|>

For best results, format all inputs in this manner. Make sure to include a newline after <|assistant|>, this can affect generation quality quite a bit.
