Model Card for LION-Gemma-2b-odpo-v1.0

The LION-series are trained using an empirically optimized pipeline that consists of three stages: SFT, DPO, and online preference learning (online DPO). We find simple techniques such as sequence packing, loss masking in SFT, increasing the preference dataset size in DPO, and online DPO training can significantly improve the performance of language models. Our best models (the LION-series) exceed the performance of the official instruct models tuned with closed-source data and algorithms.

For training datasets, code, and evaluation scripts, please refer to our paper and codebase.

Intended uses

To ensure reproducibility, please use the following chat templates:

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="Columbia-NLP/LION-Gemma-2b-odpo-v1.0",
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "",
    },
    {
        "role": "user", 
        "content": "Write a short paragraph where every sentence start with the letter A."
    },
]
outputs = pipe(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=128,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.7,
    stop_sequence="<|im_end|>",
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
# Alice always aspired to acquire ample adventure.
# Astonishingly, amid abundant allurements, Alice allocated ample attention to each activity, ensuring an array of adventures.
# Albeit anxieties arose, Alice assuaged them with affirmations, ardently advancing ambitiously towards an array of adventures.

to inspect the chat template/manually do generation:

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Columbia-NLP/LION-Gemma-2b-odpo-v1.0")
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
print(prompt)
# tokenize prompt and use model.generate
