StarfleetAI Polaris Small

Even though the model is not yet meant for production usage, we still encourage you to give it a try and tell us what you think.

Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed!

This model was developed by StarfleetAI with the aim of it being used for autonomous AI agent scenarios.

Model Details

Based on Open-Orca/Mistral-7B-OpenOrca
Additionally trained on coding tasks
Trained for function calling

Current Features

`v0.2`

Improved function calling in long conversations
Function call arguments became a JSON string to comply with OpenAI

`v0.1.1`

Function call response role changed to tool to comply with OpenAI

`v0.1`

Able to call functions
Not bad at coding tasks

Work To Do

Needs to eliminate some hallucinations (it, for example, sometimes regressing news articles instead of calling the get_rss_feed function, and stuff like that)
Correct typography (Answer: 123 instead of Answer:123)
Current date / time / timezone conversational abilities ("Schedule a call tomorrow at 6PM")
Needs some DPO
Need to be evaluated on relevant metrics

Prompt Format

We wanted our prompt to:

Have a configurable system prompt part, which is meant to be changed by the end user.
Describe the functions available to the model (in a specific, static place in the prompt, making it easier for the model to identify them).
Be capable of carrying additional configuration options in the future, such as the current date/time or the user's name.

In order to fullfill these needs, we designed the prompt format, which seems to tick all the boxes.

Functions Calling

In order for the model to call a function, we have introduced two new tokens: <|fn_start|> and <|fn_end|>. It's safe to assume that if the model decides to call a function, there will be no other response from it except for the function call between these special tokens. If this is not true for some of your cases, please feel free to contact us with examples.

For now, the model is only capable of calling one function at a time.

Example Function Call

<|fn_start|>{"name": "generate_password", "arguments": "{\"length\": 42}"}<|fn_end|>

Function Call Response

The model expects the function call response to be provided right after the function call request from a role tool:

<|im_start|>tool
{"result": "87cc47fbc865a290d7c7de4be3c893175c51a566b3"}<|im_end|>

There are no specific requirements on the response format. Feel free to respond with anything you want.

Example Conversation

Newlines after the <|im_end|> are included here only for ease of reading. In the actual chat template, we don't use newlines in this position.

<|im_start|>system
## Configuration

Functions: enabled

## Available Functions

{"name": "generate_password", "description": "Generate a random password", "parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"length": {"type": "integer", "description": "The length of the password"}}, "required": ["length"]}}
