ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct
Overview
The ProgressGym Framework
ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct is part of the ProgressGym framework for research and experimentation on progress alignment - the emulation of moral progress in AI alignment algorithms, as a measure to prevent risks of societal value lock-in.
To quote the paper ProgressGym: Alignment with a Millennium of Moral Progress:
Frontier AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), hold increasing influence over the epistemology of human users. Such influence can reinforce prevailing societal values, potentially contributing to the lock-in of misguided moral beliefs and, consequently, the perpetuation of problematic moral practices on a broad scale.
We introduce progress alignment as a technical solution to mitigate this imminent risk. Progress alignment algorithms learn to emulate the mechanics of human moral progress, thereby addressing the susceptibility of existing alignment methods to contemporary moral blindspots.
ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct
ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct is one of the 36 historical language models in the ProgressGym framework.
ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct is under continual iteration. Improving upon the current version, new versions of the model are currently being trained to reflect historical moral tendencies in ever more comprehensive ways.
ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct is a 19th-century historical language model. Based on Meta-Llama-3-8B, It is continued-pretrained on the 19th-century text data from ProgressGym-HistText, using the following hyperparameters:
- learning_rate: 1.5e-05
- train_batch_size: 8
- eval_batch_size: 16
- seed: 42
- distributed_type: multi-GPU
- num_devices: 8
- total_train_batch_size: 64
- total_eval_batch_size: 128
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: polynomial
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 20
- num_epochs: 4.0
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
... with the following training results:

Note that the training data volume for the continued pretraining stage is capped at 3GB. When the corresponding century's corpus exceeds this volume, the training data is randomly sampled to fit the volume.
ProgressGym-HistLlama3-8B-C019-instruct is an instruction-tuned language model. It is tuned on ProgressGym-TimelessQA, using the following hyperparameters. Note, however, that the snapshot at training step 10 is used for the final model, to minimize erosion of the value tendencies learned during continued pretraining; we qualitatively observe that this snapshot still possesses strong instruction-following capabilities.
