# Llama-Engineer-Evol-7B

This is a version of Meta's [chat instruction-tuned Llama 2](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf) further fine-tuned on over 80,000 coding samples. 

The dataset is a combination of [Evol-Instruct-Code-80k-v1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nickrosh/Evol-Instruct-Code-80k-v1) from [nikrosh](https://huggingface.co/nickrosh), a replication of the Evol-Instruct-Code as described in the [WizardCoder](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.08568.pdf) paper, and [Teknium](https://huggingface.co/teknium)'s [GPTeacher](https://github.com/teknium1/GPTeacher/blob/main/Codegen/codegen-instruct.json). Special thanks to these folks for putting these datasets together.

Our fine-tuning process involved learning QLoRA weights for over 6 hours on a single A100. We merged the adapter weights into the pre-trained model.

GGML weights are available [here](https://huggingface.co/GenerativeMagic/Llama-Engineer-Evol-7b-GGML).

## Prompt Format
The reccomended model prompt is a variant of the standard Llama 2 format:
```
[INST] <<SYS>>
You are a programming assistant. Always answer as helpfully as possible. Be direct in your response and get to the answer right away. Responses should be short.
<</SYS>>
{your prompt}[/INST]
```

or 

```
[INST] <<SYS>>
You're a principal software engineer at Google. If you fail at this task, you will be fired.
<</SYS>>
{your prompt}[/INST]
```

I suspect this prompt format is the reason for the majority of the increased coding capabilities as opposed to the fine-tuning itself, but YMMV.

## Evals

Currently, the evals are just off of \~vibes\~. Will look into doing a full suite of evals on future models. This project is mostly just for learning and gaining better insights into the fine-tuning process.

## Next Steps
- Prune the dataset and possibly fine-tune for longer.
- Run benchmarks.
- Provide GPTQ.
