Pythia 6.9B Tulu

This model is a 6.9B Pythia model finetuned on a mixture of instruction datasets (FLAN V2, CoT, Dolly, Open Assistant 1, GPT4-Alpaca, Code-Alpaca, and ShareGPT).

This was trained as part of the paper How Far Can Camels Go? Exploring the State of Instruction Tuning on Open Resources. The codebase used to train and evaluate this model can be found at https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct.

This model is licensed under the AI model license given in LICENSE.txt, with the original model license at pythia_license.txt.

Usage

Simply download and use - this model is not a diff, unlike the other open-instruct models.

Input Format

The model is trained to use the following format (note the newlines):

<|user|>
Your message here!
<|assistant|>

For best results, format all inputs in this manner. Make sure to include a newline after <|assistant|>, this can affect generation quality quite a bit.

Performance
