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

llmware/bling-sheared-llama-2.7b-0.1 is part of the BLING ("Best Little Instruction-following No-GPU-required") model series, RAG-instruct trained on top of a Sheared-LLaMA-2.7B base model.

BLING models are fine-tuned with distilled high-quality custom instruct datasets, targeted at a specific subset of instruct tasks with 
the objective of providing a high-quality Instruct model that is 'inference-ready' on a CPU laptop even 
without using any advanced quantization optimizations.


### Benchmark Tests  

Evaluated against the benchmark test:   [RAG-Instruct-Benchmark-Tester](https://www.huggingface.co/datasets/llmware/rag_instruct_benchmark_tester)  
Average of 2 Test Runs with 1 point for correct answer, 0.5 point for partial correct or blank / NF, 0.0 points for incorrect, and -1 points for hallucinations.  

--**Accuracy Score**:  **90.25** correct out of 100  
--Not Found Classification:  60.0%  
--Boolean:  80.0%  
--Math/Logic:  50.0%  
--Complex Questions (1-5):  2 (Low-Medium)  
--Summarization Quality (1-5):  3 (Coherent, extractive)  
--Hallucinations:  No hallucinations observed in test runs.

### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

- **Developed by:** llmware

- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Finetuned from model [optional]:** princeton-nlp/Sheared-LLaMA-2.7B

  
## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

The intended use of BLING models is two-fold:

1.  Provide high-quality Instruct models that can run on a laptop for local testing.  We have found it extremely useful when building a
   proof-of-concept, or working with sensitive enterprise data that must be closely guarded, especially in RAG use cases.

2.  Push the state of the art for smaller Instruct-following models in the sub-7B parameter range, especially 1B-3B, as single-purpose
    automation tools for specific tasks through targeted fine-tuning datasets and focused "instruction" tasks.


### Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

BLING is designed for enterprise automation use cases, especially in knowledge-intensive industries, such as financial services,
legal and regulatory industries with complex information sources.  Rather than try to be "all things to all people," BLING models try to focus on a narrower set of Instructions more suitable to a ~1-3B parameter GPT model.

BLING is ideal for rapid prototyping, testing, and the ability to perform an end-to-end workflow locally on a laptop without
having to send sensitive information over an Internet-based API.

The first BLING models have been trained for common RAG scenarios, specifically:   question-answering, key-value extraction, and basic summarization as the core instruction types
without the need for a lot of complex instruction verbiage - provide a text passage context, ask questions, and get clear fact-based responses.


## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Any model can provide inaccurate or incomplete information, and should be used in conjunction with appropriate safeguards and fact-checking mechanisms.


## How to Get Started with the Model

The fastest way to get started with BLING is through direct import in transformers:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM  
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("llmware/bling-sheared-llama-2.7b-0.1")  
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("llmware/bling-sheared-llama-2.7b-0.1")  


The BLING model was fine-tuned with a simple "\<human> and \<bot> wrapper", so to get the best results, wrap inference entries as:

full_prompt = "\<human>\: " + my_prompt + "\n" + "\<bot>\:"

The BLING model was fine-tuned with closed-context samples, which assume generally that the prompt consists of two sub-parts:

1.  Text Passage Context, and
2.  Specific question or instruction based on the text passage

To get the best results, package "my_prompt" as follows:

my_prompt = {{text_passage}} + "\n" + {{question/instruction}}
