AstroLLaMA-2-7B-Chat_AIC

AstroLLaMA-2-7B-Chat_AIC is a specialized chat model for astronomy, developed by fine-tuning the AstroLLaMA-2-7B-Base_AIC model. This model was originally developed by the AstroLLaMA team as part of the UniverseTBD initiative. It is designed for instruction-following and chat-based interactions in the astronomy domain.

Note: This model is provided for completeness in the series of AstroLLaMA models. The core AstroLLaMA team has since moved on to develop more advanced models under AstroMLab. For the original UniverseTBD version, please visit their repository.

Model Details

  • Base Architecture: LLaMA-2-7b
  • Base Model: AstroLLaMA-2-7B-Base_AIC (trained on Abstract, Introduction, and Conclusion sections from arXiv's astro-ph category papers)
  • Fine-tuning Method: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)
  • SFT Dataset:
    • 10,356 astronomy-centered conversations generated from arXiv abstracts by GPT-4
    • Full content of LIMA dataset
    • 10,000 samples from Open Orca dataset
    • 10,000 samples from UltraChat dataset
  • Primary Use: Instruction-following and chat-based interactions for astronomy-related queries
  • Reference: Perkowski et al. 2024

Using the model for chat

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# Load the model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AstroMLab/astrollama-2-7b-chat_aic")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("AstroMLab/astrollama-2-7b-chat_aic", device_map="auto")

# Function to generate a response
def generate_response(prompt, max_length=512):
    full_prompt = f"###Human: {prompt}\n\n###Assistant:"
    inputs = tokenizer(full_prompt, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=max_length)
    inputs = inputs.to(model.device)
    
    # Generate a response
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(
            **inputs, 
            max_length=max_length, 
            num_return_sequences=1, 
            do_sample=True,
            pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
            eos_token_id=tokenizer.encode("###Human:", add_special_tokens=False)[0]
        )
    
    # Decode and return the response
    response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=False)
    
    # Extract only the Assistant's response
    assistant_response = response.split("###Assistant:")[-1].strip()
    return assistant_response

# Example usage
user_input = "What are the main components of a galaxy?"
response = generate_response(user_input)
print(f"Human: {user_input}")
print(f"Assistant: {response}")

Model Limitations and Biases

This model is specifically trained on astronomy literature and may not generalize well to other domains. Users should be aware of potential biases in the training data, which may reflect historical trends and biases in astronomical research publications. Additionally, the regex-based extraction method used for processing the LaTeX source files may introduce some biases or inconsistencies in the training data.

Importantly, this model has been superseded by more advanced versions. Here's a performance comparison chart based upon the astronomical benchmarking Q&A as described in Ting et al. 2024, and Pan et al. 2024.

Model Score (%)
AstroSage-8B (AstroMLab) 79.1
AstroLLaMA-2-70B (AstroMLab) 76.0
LLaMA-3.1-8B 73.7
Gemma-2-9B 71.5
Qwen-2.5-7B 70.4
Yi-1.5-9B 68.4
InternLM-2.5-7B 64.5
Mistral-7B-v0.3 63.9
ChatGLM3-6B 50.4
AstroLLaMA-2-7B-AIC 44.3
AstroLLaMA-2-7B-Abstract 43.5

As shown, AstroLLaMA-2-7B series are outperformed by newer models. For state-of-the-art performance, we recommend using the latest models.

Ethical Considerations

While this model is designed for scientific use, users should be mindful of potential misuse, such as generating misleading scientific content. Always verify model outputs against peer-reviewed sources for critical applications.
