<!-- description start -->
## Description

This repo contains GGUF format model files for [Starling-LM-7B-beta](https://huggingface.co/Nexusflow/Starling-LM-7B-beta) 

**Model Summary**
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

- **Developed by: The Nexusflow Team (** Banghua Zhu * , Evan Frick * , Tianhao Wu * , Hanlin Zhu, Karthik Ganesan, Wei-Lin Chiang, Jian Zhang, and Jiantao Jiao).
- **Model type:** Language Model finetuned with RLHF / RLAIF
- **License:** Apache-2.0 license under the condition that the model is not used to compete with OpenAI
- **Finetuned from model:** [Openchat-3.5-0106](https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat-3.5-0106) (based on [Mistral-7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1))
 

We introduce Starling-LM-7B-beta, an open large language model (LLM) trained by Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF). Starling-LM-7B-beta is trained from [Openchat-3.5-0106](https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat-3.5-0106) with our new reward model [Nexusflow/Starling-RM-34B](https://huggingface.co/Nexusflow/Starling-RM-34B) and policy optimization method [Fine-Tuning Language Models from Human Preferences (PPO)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.08593).
Harnessing the power of the ranking dataset, [berkeley-nest/Nectar](https://huggingface.co/datasets/berkeley-nest/Nectar), the upgraded reward model, [Starling-RM-34B](https://huggingface.co/Nexusflow/Starling-RM-34B), and the new reward training and policy tuning pipeline, Starling-LM-7B-beta scores an improved 8.12 in MT Bench with GPT-4 as a judge.
