# StableVicuna-13B
This is an HF format unquantised float16 model of [CarperAI's StableVicuna 13B](https://huggingface.co/CarperAI/stable-vicuna-13b-delta).
It is the result of merging the deltas from the above repository with the original Llama 13B weights.

## Model Description
StableVicuna-13B is a [Vicuna-13B v0](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-13b-delta-v0) model fine-tuned using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) via Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) on various conversational and instructional datasets.
## Model Details
* **Trained by**: [Duy Phung](https://github.com/PhungVanDuy) of [CarperAI](https://carper.ai)
* **Model type:** **StableVicuna-13B** is an auto-regressive language model based on the LLaMA transformer architecture.
* **Language(s)**: English
* **Library**: [trlX](https://github.com/CarperAI/trlx)
* **License for delta weights**: [CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)
* *Note*: License for the base LLaMA model's weights is Meta's [non-commercial bespoke license](https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/MODEL_CARD.md).
* **Contact**: For questions and comments about the model, visit the [CarperAI](https://discord.com/invite/KgfkCVYHdu) and [StableFoundation](https://discord.gg/stablediffusion) Discord servers.

## Training
### Training Dataset
StableVicuna-13B is fine-tuned on a mix of three datasets. [OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset (OASST1)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1), a human-generated, human-annotated assistant-style conversation corpus consisting of 161,443 messages distributed across 66,497 conversation trees, in 35 different languages;
[GPT4All Prompt Generations](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nomic-ai/gpt4all_prompt_generations), a dataset of 400k prompts and responses generated by GPT-4; and [Alpaca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tatsu-lab/alpaca), a dataset of 52,000 instructions and demonstrations generated by OpenAI's text-davinci-003 engine.
The reward model used during RLHF was also trained on [OpenAssistant Conversations Dataset (OASST1)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1) along with two other datasets: [Anthropic HH-RLHF](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Anthropic/hh-rlhf), a dataset of preferences about AI assistant helpfulness and harmlessness; and [Stanford Human Preferences Dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stanfordnlp/SHP) a dataset of 385K collective human preferences over responses to questions/instructions in 18 different subject areas, from cooking to legal advice.
### Training Procedure
`CarperAI/stable-vicuna-13b-delta` was trained using PPO as implemented in [`trlX`](https://github.com/CarperAI/trlx/blob/main/trlx/trainer/accelerate_ppo_trainer.py) with the following configuration:
| Hyperparameter | Value |
|-------------------|---------|
| num_rollouts | 128 |
| chunk_size | 16 |
| ppo_epochs | 4 |
| init_kl_coef | 0.1 |
| target | 6 |
| horizon | 10000 |
| gamma | 1 |
| lam | 0.95 |
| cliprange | 0.2 |
| cliprange_value | 0.2 |
| vf_coef | 1.0 |
| scale_reward | None |
| cliprange_reward | 10 |
| generation_kwargs | |
| max_length | 512 |
| min_length | 48 |
| top_k | 0.0 |
| top_p | 1.0 |
| do_sample | True |
| temperature | 1.0 |
## Use and Limitations
### Intended Use
This model is intended to be used for text generation with a focus on conversational tasks. Users may further fine-tune the model on their own data to improve the model's performance on their specific tasks in accordance with the non-commercial [license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/).
### Limitations and bias
The base LLaMA model is trained on various data, some of which may contain offensive, harmful, and biased content that can lead to toxic behavior. See Section 5.1 of the LLaMA [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13971). We have not performed any studies to determine how fine-tuning on the aforementioned datasets affect the model's behavior and toxicity. Do not treat chat responses from this model as a substitute for human judgment or as a source of truth. Please use responsibly.
