Training Procedure

This model represents a significant advancement in our fine-tuning methodology, utilizing a two-phase Spectrum Fine-Tuning approach:

Phase 1 (25% Layer Targeting):

• Training on 0.6B tokens with four distinct components:
  1. Mathematics data (curated using proprietary classifier)
  2. English performance data (from Sauerkraut-v1)
  3. High-quality German training data (from Sauerkraut-v1)
  4. Function calling data (from Sauerkraut-v2)

Phase 2 (20% Layer Targeting):

• Training on additional 0.6B tokens with partial overlap:
  1. New mathematics data (classifier-selected)
  2. New English performance data (from Sauerkraut-v2)
  3. New German training data (from Sauerkraut-v2)
  4. Function calling data (from Sauerkraut-v2)

Dataset Composition:

• Carefully curated mathematical content using a proprietary classification model
• Premium multilingual data from both Sauerkraut-v1 and Sauerkraut-v2
• Specialized function calling training data
• High-quality German-English content across various domains

Objective and Results

This release marks the one-year anniversary of SauerkrautLM, showcasing our most advanced training methodology to date. The two-phase Spectrum Fine-Tuning approach allows for more nuanced learning while maintaining efficiency in resource usage. The model demonstrates significant improvements in:
