## Introduction

We released Storm-7B, the first open-source language model comparable to the GPT-4 series on the [AlpacaEval 2.0](https://tatsu-lab.github.io/alpaca_eval/) leaderboard, ranking 3rd in length-controlled win rate.

The recipe for this model is simple: 1) fine-tuning from [Openchat-3.5-0106](https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat-3.5-0106), 2) applying iterative DPO training, a variant of DPO where a language model iteratively learns from the preferences of the trained reward model. We will release our technical report and code as soon as possible.

A snapshot of the AlpacaEval 2.0 leaderboard (2024/4/28) is listed below: 

|                          | **LC Win Rate** | **Win Rate** |
| :----------------------: | :-------------: | :----------: |
|   GPT-4 Turbo (04/09)    |      55.0%      |    46.1%     |
|  GPT-4 Preview (11/06)   |      50.0%      |    50.0%     |
|       **Storm-7B**       |      48.9%      |    52.5%     |

| Aligner 2B+Claude 3 Opus |      41.8%      |    34.5%     |
|  Claude 3 Opus (02/29)   |      40.5%      |    29.1%     |
|          GPT-4           |      38.1%      |    23.6%     |
|    openchat-3.5-0106     |      15.4%      |    10.1%     |

Please refer to the [leaderboard webpage](https://tatsu-lab.github.io/alpaca_eval/) for up-to-date results. 

We also conducted preliminary evaluations on other benchmarks and observed no significant degradation.

## Uses

Our model uses the same chat template as [Openchat-3.5-0106](https://huggingface.co/openchat/openchat-3.5-0106). A sample code snippet for inference using our model is provided below.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "cuda"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("jieliu/Storm-7B").to(device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jieliu/Storm-7B")
model.eval().requires_grad_(False)

def generate_response(prompt):
    input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(device)
    outputs = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        max_length=2048,
        do_sample=True,
        temperature=1.0,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id,
        eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )
    response_ids = outputs[0]
    response_text = tokenizer.decode(response_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
    return response_text

prompt = "How does a telescope work?"
input_prompt = f"GPT4 Correct User: {prompt}<|end_of_turn|>GPT4 Correct Assistant:"
response_text = generate_response(input_prompt)
print("Response:", response_text)
```

## Scripts
You can reproduce our results on AlphaEval 2.0 using the script provided below.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tatsu-lab/alpaca_eval.git
cd alpaca_eval
pip install -e .
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_api_key>
alpaca_eval evaluate_from_model --model_configs 'Storm-7B'
```

## Limitations

Storm-7B is a quick demonstration that a language model, fine-tuned with AI feedback, can easily surpass or match state-of-the-art models, as assessed by the same AI feedback. However, this improvement on the automatic leaderboard may not necessarily indicate better alignment with human intentions. Our model therefore represents a critical, preliminary reevaluation of the RLAIF paradigm, questioning how much learning from and being evaluated by AI feedback aligns with actual human preferences.
