# DiscoLM 70b

**DiscoLM 70b** is a 70b model based on [Laion's LeoLM 70b](https://huggingface.co/LeoLM/leo-hessianai-70b) which underwent additional continued pretraining for 65b tokens of German
text, strengthening it's multilingual capabilities while retaining (and partially improving) English capabilities.
This was then further finetuned on a combination of some the most popular open-source instruction sets. 
DiscoLM 70b is a [DiscoResearch](https://huggingface.co/DiscoResearch) project and was trained by [Björn Plüster](https://huggingface.co/bjoernp).

The model was trained with compute provided by [HessianAI](https://hessian.ai/) - we are very grateful for their support; please check out their wesbite and projects!

## Benchmarks

### Hugginface Leaderboard

This models is still an early Alpha and we can't guarantee that there isn't any contamination. 
However, the average of **71.24** would earn the #3 spot on the HF leaderboard at the time of writing.

| Metric | Value |
|-----------------------|-------|
| ARC (25-shot)         | 68.77 |
| HellaSwag (10-shot)   | 85.41 |
| MMLU (5-shot)         | 68.64 |
| TruthfulQA (0-shot)   | 57.69 |
| Winogrande (5-shot)   | 83.27 |
| GSM8k (5-shot)   | 63.68 |
| **Avg.**                  | **71.24** |

We use [Language Model Evaluation Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness) to run the benchmark tests above, using the same version as the HuggingFace LLM Leaderboard.

### FastEval

| Metric | Value |
|-----------------------|-------|
| GSM8K       | 70.6 |
| Math   | 17.8 |
| BBH         | 63.4 |
| MMLU   | 64.7 |
| **Avg.**                  | **48.87** |

## Prompt Format

This model follows the ChatML format:

```
<|im_start|>system
You are DiscoLM, a helpful assistant.
<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Please tell me possible reasons to call a research collective "Disco Research"<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
```

This formatting is also available via a pre-defined Transformers chat template, which means that lists of messages can be formatted for you with the apply_chat_template() method:

```python
chat = [
  {"role": "system", "content": "You are DiscoLM, a helpful assistant."},
  {"role": "user", "content": "Please tell me possible reasons to call a research collective Disco Research"}
]
tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
```

If you use `tokenize=True` and `return_tensors="pt"` instead, then you will get a tokenized and formatted conversation ready to pass to `model.generate()`.

## Dataset

The dataset curation for DiscoLM 70b followed a "brute force"/"PoC" approach.

The following datasets were used for training DiscoLM 70b:

* [OpenSchnabeltier](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LeoLM/OpenSchnabeltier) translated to DE from [OpenPlatypus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/garage-bAInd/Open-Platypus)
* [OpenHermes](https://huggingface.co/datasets/teknium/openhermes)
* [MetaMathQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/meta-math/MetaMathQA)
* [UltraChat DE](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bjoernp/ultrachat_de) translated to DE from [UltraChat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceH4/ultrachat_200k)
* [Synthia v.1.3](https://huggingface.co/datasets/migtissera/Synthia-v1.3)
