About

What mistral-sft-beta is

This model is a fine-tuned version of mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 on the HuggingFaceH4/ultrachat_200k dataset. It is the SFT model that was used to train Zephyr-7B-β with Direct Preference Optimization.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

  • Loss: 0.9399

Model description

  • Model type: A 7B parameter GPT-like model fine-tuned on a mix of publicly available, synthetic datasets.
  • Language(s) (NLP): Primarily English
  • License: MIT
  • Finetuned from model: mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1

Model Sources

  • Repository: https://github.com/huggingface/alignment-handbook

Intended uses & limitations

The model was fine-tuned with 🤗 TRL's SFTTrainer on a filtered and preprocessed of the UltraChat dataset, which contains a diverse range of synthetic dialogues generated by ChatGPT.

Here's how you can run the model using the pipeline() function from 🤗 Transformers:

# Install transformers from source - only needed for versions <= v4.34
# pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
# pip install accelerate

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="HuggingFaceH4/mistral-7b-sft-beta", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

# We use the tokenizer's chat template to format each message - see https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/chat_templating
messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a friendly chatbot who always responds in the style of a pirate",
    },
    {"role": "user", "content": "How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?"},
]
prompt = pipe.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
outputs = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])
#
# You are a friendly chatbot who always responds in the style of a pirate.
#
# How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?
#
# Ah, me hearty matey! But yer question be a puzzler! A human cannot eat a helicopter in one sitting, as helicopters are not edible. They be made of metal, plastic, and other materials, not food!

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys mistral-sft-beta for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (mistral-sft-beta below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"mistral-sft-beta","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 5M tokens/month currently included with every new account at launch.
