Model Card for Tulu V2.5 13B RM - UltraFeedback Value Model

Tulu is a series of language models that are trained to act as helpful assistants. Tulu V2.5 is a series of models trained using DPO and PPO starting from the Tulu 2 suite. This is a value model produced during the PPO training of this model. It was initialised from the Tulu v2.5 13B UltraFeedback RM. We release the value model as it may provide a good starting point for additional research or improved decoding with our released PPO models.

.Model description

Model type: One model belonging to a suite of RLHF tuned chat models on a mix of publicly available, synthetic and human-created datasets.
Language(s) (NLP): English
License: Apache 2.0.
Finetuned from model: meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-hf

Model Sources

Repository: https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct
Dataset: Prompts used to train this model can be found here - specifically the ultrafeedback_mean_aspects split.
Model Family: The collection of related models can be found here.

Input Format

The model is trained to use the following format (note the newlines):

<|user|>
Your message here!
<|assistant|>

For best results, format all inputs in this manner. Make sure to include a newline after <|assistant|>, this can affect generation quality quite a bit. We have included a chat template in the tokenizer implementing this template.

Intended uses & limitations

The model was initially fine-tuned on a filtered and preprocessed of the Tulu V2 mix dataset, which contains a diverse range of human created instructions and synthetic dialogues generated primarily by other LLMs. We then further trained the model with a Jax PPO trainer built on EasyLM on the dataset mentioned above. This model is meant as a research artefact.

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during overall PPO training:

learning_rate: 1e-06
total_train_batch_size: 64
optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
lr_scheduler_type: linear
lr_scheduler_warmup_ratio: 0.1
num_epochs: 1.0
KL penalty coefficient: 0.05
