Starling-LM-7B-alpha
- Developed by: Banghua Zhu * , Evan Frick * , Tianhao Wu * , Hanlin Zhu and Jiantao Jiao.
- Model type: Language Model finetuned with RLHF / RLAIF
- License: Non commercial license
- Finetuned from model: Openchat 3.5 (based on Mistral-7B-v0.1)
We introduce Starling-7B, an open large language model (LLM) trained by Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF). The model harnesses the power of our new GPT-4 labeled ranking dataset, berkeley-nest/Nectar, and our new reward training and policy tuning pipeline. Starling-7B-alpha scores 8.09 in MT Bench with GPT-4 as a judge, outperforming every model to date on MT-Bench except for OpenAI's GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo. We release the ranking dataset Nectar, the reward model Starling-RM-7B-alpha and the language model Starling-LM-7B-alpha on HuggingFace, and an online demo in LMSYS Chatbot Arena. Stay tuned for our forthcoming code and paper, which will provide more details on the whole process.
Starling-LM-7B-alpha is a language model trained from Openchat 3.5 with reward model berkeley-nest/Starling-RM-7B-alpha and policy optimization method advantage-induced policy alignment (APA). The evaluation results are listed below.
| Model | Tuning Method | MT Bench | AlpacaEval | MMLU |

Uses
Important: Please use the exact chat template provided below for the model. Otherwise there will be a degrade in the performance. The model output can be verbose in rare cases. Please consider setting temperature = 0 to make this happen less.
Our model follows the exact chat template and usage as Openchat 3.5. Please refer to their model card for more details. In addition, our model is hosted on LMSYS Chatbot Arena for free test.
The conversation template is the same as Openchat 3.5:
import transformers
tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("openchat/openchat_3.5")
# Single-turn
tokens = tokenizer("GPT4 Correct User: Hello<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Correct Assistant:").input_ids
assert tokens == [1, 420, 6316, 28781, 3198, 3123, 1247, 28747, 22557, 32000, 420, 6316, 28781, 3198, 3123, 21631, 28747]
# Multi-turn
tokens = tokenizer("GPT4 Correct User: Hello<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Correct Assistant: Hi<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Correct User: How are you today?<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Correct Assistant:").input_ids
