Tinystories-30m-UL2
GPT-4 generated model card
Model Details
- Model Name: crumb/tinystories-30m-ul2
- Model Type: GPTNeoXForCausalLM
- Model Training Details: The model is trained using crumb/flan-ul2-tinystories which contains around a quarter of a million examples generated from Flan-UL2 (20b) with the prompt "Write a short story using the vocabulary of a first-grader."
Model Description
This model is trained with the specific purpose of generating short narratives using a vocabulary limited to the level of a first-grader. In terms of complexity and language usage, the model is designed to produce simplistic and easily comprehensible text.
Learning from text generated by Flan-UL2 (20b), the model adopts a simple storyline layout and a minimalistic vocabulary, which it recognizes are easier to learn and replicate.
Training
The model is trained for four epochs on the crumb/flan-ul2-tinystories dataset (inspired by roneneldan/TinyStories), created with the help of Flan-UL2 (20b), as opposed to GPT-3.5/4 in the original Tinystories. The data is designed to follow the format of a simple, first-grader-level narrative, which aids the model in learning simple vocabulary and sentence structure.

warmup_steps=128,
num_train_epochs=4,

Usage
This model serves as a meaningful research tool in exploring the learning tendencies of smaller language models and their ability to grasp simplified language constructs. Its specific training set effectively maps the idea that a constrained vocabulary and simplistic story layouts are inherently easier to learn.
Validation and Performance
The model's performance was evaluated using a held-out validation set, which constitutes 1% of the original dataset. During evaluation, the model achieved a loss of 2.284920. During training, the model achieved a loss of 2.647377
