This is an HF format unquantised float16 model of CarperAI's StableVicuna 13B .

It is the result of merging the deltas from the above repository with the original Llama 13B weights.

Repositories available

• 4bit GPTQ models for GPU inference .
• 4-bit, 5-bit and 8-bit GGML models for CPU (+CUDA) inference .
• Unquantised float16 model in HF format .

PROMPT TEMPLATE

This model requires the following prompt template:

### Human: your prompt here
### Assistant:

Thanks, and how to contribute.

Thanks to the chirper.ai team!

I've had a lot of people ask if they can contribute. I enjoy providing models and helping people, and would love to be able to spend even more time doing it, as well as expanding into new projects like fine tuning/training.

If you're able and willing to contribute it will be most gratefully received and will help me to keep providing more models, and to start work on new AI projects.

Donaters will get priority support on any and all AI/LLM/model questions and requests, access to a private Discord room, plus other benefits.

Original StableVicuna-13B model card

Model Description

StableVicuna-13B is a Vicuna-13B v0 model fine-tuned using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) via Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) on various conversational and instructional datasets.

Model Details

• Trained by : Duy Phung of CarperAI
• Model type: StableVicuna-13B is an auto-regressive language model based on the LLaMA transformer architecture.
• Language(s) : English
• Library : trlX
• License for delta weights : CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0
  • Note : License for the base LLaMA model's weights is Meta's non-commercial bespoke license .
• Contact : For questions and comments about the model, visit the CarperAI and StableFoundation Discord servers.

Training

Training Dataset

StableVicuna-13B is fine-tuned on a mix of three datasets. OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset (OASST1) , a human-generated, human-annotated assistant-style conversation corpus consisting of 161,443 messages distributed across 66,497 conversation trees, in 35 different languages; GPT4All Prompt Generations , a dataset of 400k prompts and responses generated by GPT-4; and Alpaca , a dataset of 52,000 instructions and demonstrations generated by OpenAI's text-davinci-003 engine.

The reward model used during RLHF was also trained on OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset (OASST1) along with two other datasets: Anthropic HH-RLHF , a dataset of preferences about AI assistant helpfulness and harmlessness; and Stanford Human Preferences Dataset a dataset of 385K collective human preferences over responses to questions/instructions in 18 different subject areas, from cooking to legal advice.

Training Procedure

CarperAI/stable-vicuna-13b-delta was trained using PPO as implemented in trlX with the following configuration:

Use and Limitations

Intended Use

This model is intended to be used for text generation with a focus on conversational tasks. Users may further fine-tune the model on their own data to improve the model's performance on their specific tasks in accordance with the non-commercial license .

Limitations and bias

The base LLaMA model is trained on various data, some of which may contain offensive, harmful, and biased content that can lead to toxic behavior. See Section 5.1 of the LLaMA paper . We have not performed any studies to determine how fine-tuning on the aforementioned datasets affect the model's behavior and toxicity. Do not treat chat responses from this model as a substitute for human judgment or as a source of truth. Please use responsibly.
