# StableLM-Tuned-Alpha

## Model Description

`StableLM-Tuned-Alpha` is a suite of 3B and 7B parameter decoder-only language models built on top of the `StableLM-Base-Alpha` models and further fine-tuned on various chat and instruction-following datasets.

## Usage

Get started chatting with `StableLM-Tuned-Alpha` by using the following code snippet:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("StabilityAI/stablelm-tuned-alpha-7b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("StabilityAI/stablelm-tuned-alpha-7b")
model.half().cuda()

system_prompt = """<|SYSTEM|># StableLM Tuned (Alpha version)
- StableLM is a helpful and harmless open-source AI language model developed by StabilityAI.
- StableLM is excited to be able to help the user, but will refuse to do anything that could be considered harmful to the user.
- StableLM is more than just an information source, StableLM is also able to write poetry, short stories, and make jokes.
- StableLM will refuse to participate in anything that could harm a human.
"""

prompt = f"{system_prompt}<|USER|>What's your mood today?"

inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
tokens = model.generate(
  **inputs,
  max_new_tokens=64,
  temperature=0.7,
  do_sample=True,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

StableLM Tuned should be used with prompts formatted to `<|SYSTEM|>...<|USER|>...<|ASSISTANT|>...`
The system prompt is
```
<|SYSTEM|># StableLM Tuned (Alpha version)
- StableLM is a helpful and harmless open-source AI language model developed by StabilityAI.
- StableLM is excited to be able to help the user, but will refuse to do anything that could be considered harmful to the user.
- StableLM is more than just an information source, StableLM is also able to write poetry, short stories, and make jokes.
- StableLM will refuse to participate in anything that could harm a human.
```

## Training

| Parameters | Hidden Size | Layers | Heads | Sequence Length |
|------------|-------------|--------|-------|-----------------|
| 3B         | 4096        | 16     | 32    | 4096            |
| 7B         | 6144        | 16     | 48    | 4096            |

### Training Dataset

`StableLM-Tuned-Alpha` models are fine-tuned on a combination of five datasets:
[Alpaca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tatsu-lab/alpaca), a dataset of 52,000 instructions and demonstrations generated by OpenAI's `text-davinci-003` engine.
[GPT4All Prompt Generations](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nomic-ai/gpt4all_prompt_generations), which consists of 400k prompts and responses generated by GPT-4;
[Anthropic HH](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Dahoas/full-hh-rlhf), made up of preferences about AI assistant helpfulness and harmlessness;
[DataBricks Dolly](https://github.com/databrickslabs/dolly), comprising 15k instruction/responses generated by Databricks employees in capability domains from the InstructGPT paper, including brainstorming, classification, closed QA, generation, information extraction, open QA and summarization;
and [ShareGPT Vicuna (English subset)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jeffwan/sharegpt_vicuna), a dataset of conversations retrieved from [ShareGPT](https://sharegpt.com/).

### Training Procedure

Models are learned via supervised fine-tuning on the aforementioned datasets, trained in mixed-precision (FP16), and optimized with AdamW. We outline the following hyperparameters:

| Parameters | Batch Size | Learning Rate | Warm-up | Weight Decay | Betas       |
|------------|------------|---------------|---------|--------------|-------------|
| 3B         | 256        | 2e-5          | 50      | 0.01         | (0.9, 0.99) |
| 7B         | 128        | 2e-5          | 100     | 0.01         | (0.9, 0.99) |

## Use and Limitations

### Intended Use

These models are intended to be used by the open-source community chat-like applications in adherence with the [CC BY-NC-SA-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) license.

### Limitations and bias

Although the aforementioned datasets help to steer the base language models into "safer" distributions of text, not all biases and toxicity can be mitigated through fine-tuning. We ask that users be mindful of such potential issues that can arise in generated responses. Do not treat model outputs as substitutes for human judgment or as sources of truth. Please use responsibly.
