## Model Details
**SauerkrautLM-Mixtral-8x7B**
- **Model Type:** SauerkrautLM-Mixtral-8x7B is a Mixture of Experts (MoE) Model based on [mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1) 
- **Language(s):** English, German, French, Italian, Spanish

### Training Dataset:

SauerkrautLM-Mixtral-8x7B was trained with mix of German data augmentation and translated data. 
**SFT** with the dataset[OpenOrca/Slim-Orca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Open-Orca/SlimOrca) and aligned through **DPO** with our **new German SauerkrautLM-DPO dataset** based on parts of the SFT SauerkrautLM dataset 
as chosen answers and [Sauerkraut-7b-HerO](https://huggingface.co/VAGOsolutions/SauerkrautLM-7b-HerO) as rejected answers. Added with additional **translated Parts of the [HuggingFaceH4/ultrafeedback_binarized](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceH4/ultrafeedback_binarized)** and **[argilla/distilabel-math-preference-dpo](https://huggingface.co/datasets/argilla/distilabel-math-preference-dpo).**  
We found, that only a simple translation of training data can lead to unnatural German phrasings. 
Data augmentation techniques were used to grant grammatical, syntactical correctness and a more natural German wording in our training data. 

### Data Contamination Test Results

Some models on the HuggingFace leaderboard had problems with wrong data getting mixed in.
We checked our SauerkrautLM-DPO dataset with a special test [1] on a smaller model for this problem. 
The HuggingFace team used the same methods [2, 3].

Our results, with `result < 0.1, %:` being well below 0.9, indicate that our dataset is free from contamination.

*The data contamination test results of HellaSwag and Winograde will be added once [1] supports them.*
