## Model Details
**SauerkrautLM-SOLAR-Instruct**
- **Model Type:** SauerkrautLM-SOLAR-Instruct is a finetuned Model based on [upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0) 
- **Language(s):** English, German

### Training Dataset:

SauerkrautLM-SOLAR-Instruct was trained with mix of German data augmentation and translated data. 
Aligned through **DPO** with our **new German SauerkrautLM-DPO dataset** based on parts of the SFT SauerkrautLM dataset 
as chosen answers and [Sauerkraut-7b-HerO](https://huggingface.co/VAGOsolutions/SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO) as rejected answers. Added with additional **translated Parts of the [HuggingFaceH4/ultrafeedback_binarized](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceH4/ultrafeedback_binarized)** (Our dataset do not contain any TruthfulQA prompts - check Data Contamination Test Results) and **[argilla/distilabel-math-preference-dpo](https://huggingface.co/datasets/argilla/distilabel-math-preference-dpo).**  
We found, that only a simple translation of training data can lead to unnatural German phrasings. 
Data augmentation techniques were used to grant grammatical, syntactical correctness and a more natural German wording in our training data. 

We improved the German language skills on this model. Nevertheless, certain formulations may occur that are not entirely correct.





### Data Contamination Test Results

Some models on the HuggingFace leaderboard had problems with wrong data getting mixed in.
We checked our SauerkrautLM-DPO dataset with a special test [1] on this model as target model and upstage/SOLAR-10.7B-Instruct-v1.0 as reference model. 
The HuggingFace team used the same methods [2, 3].

Our results, with `result < 0.1, %:` being well below 0.9, indicate that our dataset is free from contamination.

*The data contamination test results of HellaSwag and Winograde will be added once [1] supports them.*

### User:
Hello, how are you?

### Assistant:
Hi there! I am an AI language model, so I don't have personal feelings or emotions in the traditional sense. However, I can assure you that my systems and processes are functioning well at this moment, allowing me to provide helpful responses for your queries.
How may I assist you today?
