__completely untested, use if you want, or wait for some validation__

## Overview

This is a __full__ (not qlora) fine-tune 13b parameter LlaMa model, using completely synthetic training data created gpt4 via https://github.com/jondurbin/airoboros

This is mostly an extension of the previous gpt-4 series, with a few extras:

* fixed (+ more examples of) multi-character, multi-turn conversations
* coding examples in 10 languages from rosettacode.org dataset thanks to Mike aka kryptkpr: https://huggingface.co/datasets/mike-ravkine/rosettacode-parsed
* more roleplay examples
* jokes
* riddles
* all coding instructions have an equivalent " PLAINFORMAT" version now (and all rosettacode examples were trained with PLAINFORMAT)

This model was fine-tuned with a fork of [FastChat](https://github.com/jondurbin/FastChat)

The prompt it was trained with was:

```
A chat between a curious user and an assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, accurate, uncensored responses to the user's input. USER: [prompt] ASSISTANT: 
```

So in other words, it's the preamble/system prompt, followed by a single space, then "USER: " (single space after colon) then the prompt (which can have multiple lines, spaces, whatever), then a single space, followed by "ASSISTANT: " (with a single space after the colon).

## Usage

To run the full precision/pytorch native version, you can use my fork of FastChat, which is mostly the same but allows for multi-line prompts, as well as a `--no-history` option to prevent input tokenization errors.

```
pip install git+https://github.com/jondurbin/FastChat
```

Be sure you are pulling the latest branch!

Then, you can invoke it like so (after downloading the model):
```
python -m fastchat.serve.cli \
  --model-path airoboros-13b-gpt4-1.3 \
  --temperature 0.5 \
  --max-new-tokens 2048 \
  --no-history
```

For multi-turn conversations and chatting, you'll want to remove the `--no-history` option.

### Context obedient question answering

By obedient, I mean the model was trained to ignore what it thinks it knows, and uses the context to answer the question.  The model was also tuned to limit the values to the provided context as much as possible to reduce hallucinations.

The format for a closed-context prompt is as follows:
```
BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
url: https://some.web.site/123
date: 2023-06-01
... other metdata ...
ENDCONTEXT
[insert your text blocks here]
ENDINPUT
[add as many other blocks, in the exact same format]
BEGININSTRUCTION
[insert your instruction(s).  The model was tuned with single questions, paragraph format, lists, etc.]
ENDINSTRUCTION
```

It's also helpful to add "Don't make up answers if you don't know." to your instruction block to make sure if the context is completely unrelated it doesn't make something up.

*The __only__ prompts that need this closed context formating are closed-context instructions.  Normal questions/instructions do not!*

I know it's a bit verbose and annoying, but after much trial and error, using these explicit delimiters helps the model understand where to find the responses and how to associate specific sources with it.
- `BEGININPUT` - denotes a new input block
- `BEGINCONTEXT` - denotes the block of context (metadata key/value pairs) to associate with the current input block
- `ENDCONTEXT` - denotes the end of the metadata block for the current input
- [text] - Insert whatever text you want for the input block, as many paragraphs as can fit in the context.
- `ENDINPUT` - denotes the end of the current input block
- [repeat as many input blocks in this format as you want]
- `BEGININSTRUCTION` - denotes the start of the list (or one) instruction(s) to respond to for all of the input blocks above.
- [instruction(s)]
- `ENDINSTRUCTION` - denotes the end of instruction set

It sometimes works without `ENDINSTRUCTION`, but by explicitly including that in the prompt, the model better understands that all of the instructions in the block should be responded to.

Here's a trivial, but important example to prove the point:
```
BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
date: 2021-01-01
url: https://web.site/123
ENDCONTEXT
In a shocking turn of events, blueberries are now green, but will be sticking with the same name.
ENDINPUT
BEGININSTRUCTION
What color are bluberries?  Source?
ENDINSTRUCTION
```

And the response:
```
Blueberries are now green.
Source:
date: 2021-01-01
url: https://web.site/123
```

The prompt itself should be wrapped in the vicuna1.1 template if you aren't using fastchat with the conv-template vicuna_v1.1 as described:

```
USER: BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
date: 2021-01-01
url: https://web.site/123
ENDCONTEXT
In a shocking turn of events, blueberries are now green, but will be sticking with the same name.
ENDINPUT
BEGININSTRUCTION
What color are bluberries?  Source?
ENDINSTRUCTION
 ASSISTANT:
```

### Coding

You can ask for fairly complex coding instructions, e.g. (be sure to wrap with vicuna style prompt):

```
Create a python application with the following requirements:
- Asyncio FastAPI webserver
- ping endpoint that returns the current date in JSON format
- file upload endpoint, which calculates the file's sha256 checksum, and checks postgres to deduplicate
```

Or:

```
Write a multi-threaded TCP server in C that accepts a "GET [key]" input and "SET [key] [value]" input, and uses a binary tree to get and store the input values.
```

You can optionally add a single space and "PLAINFORMAT" at the end of your prompt to avoid backticks, explanations, etc. and just print the code, e.g.:

```
Write a websocket application in node.js. PLAINFORMAT
```

### Word games / trivia

```
USER: This anagram of "silent" is what you do when paying attention and hearing someone.
ASSISTANT: listen
```

```
USER: Give me a list of 7 words that start with EN
ASSISTANT: 1. Endlessly
2. Enthusiastically
3. Enormously
4. Enveloping
5. Enduring
6. Enlightening
7. Encouraging
```

### Multiple choice

```
USER: Which of the following astronomical objects is composed primarily of ice and rock, and is located in the Kuiper Belt?

A) Mercury
B) Venus
C) Pluto
D) Jupiter
ASSISTANT: C, Pluto
```

### Writing

<details>
  <summary>Write a resignation letter in the style of a pirate captain, in which you resign from your position as janitor.</summary>

  Response:
```
ASSISTANT: Captain Jack Sparrow here, as ye be knowin', has been forced to abandon me post as Janitor o' th' Festering Cesspool, which be a filthy hole o' water that we be callin' home.

Ye may be thinkin' what could ha' driven me to leave me duties an' take me leave o' this sorry establishment? Well, ye'd be right in thinkin' so, for it be th' greed o' them what runs th' place that be drivin' me away. They've been fattenin' their pockets on me back while I've been slavin' me guts out cleanin' up their messes.

No more, me hearties! Me time o' servin' th' rich an' powerful be done, an' I'm takin' me leave o' this stinkin' hole forever! Me destiny lies elsewhere, an' it be time I pursued it. Ye may think ye've seen th' last o' me, but ye'd be wrong, for th' winds o' change be blowin', an' me ship be ready to set sail on th' high seas o' justice.

So, farewell ye scurvy dogs, ye who've made me life a living hell. I leave ye with me favorite saying: "ARRRGGGHHH, ye scurvy dogs!" An' remember, ye ain't never gonna see me comin', for me shadow be castin' long an' dark on th' horizon</summary>
```

</details>

### Jokes

```
USER: Tell me a joke about bananas.
ASSISTANT: What did the banana say when it got hit by a bus? R.I.P.E.
```

### Riddles (not great, but slightly better)

```
USER: What has a neck but no head?
ASSISTANT: A bottle.
```

### Multi-character conversations
