KARAKURI LM

KARAKURI LM is a pretrained language model that builds upon Llama 2. Our model enhances Llama 2's capabilities by incorporating additional Japanese vocabulary and further pretraining on a mixture of Japanese and multilingual corpora.

KARAKURI LM Chat is a fine-tuned version of KARAKURI LM, which was trained on a mixture of publicly available and closed datasets using the SteerLM technique. During fine-tuning, our model employed a continual learning approach. Unlike the common practice of relying solely on structured conversational datasets, we also incorporated unstructured corpora, similar to what was used during its pretraining phase.

Despite the conversational datasets containing only 2.5% Japanese tokens, our model has shown remarkable performance. It achieves the highest performance among Japanese open models on the MT-Bench-jp at the time of release. Furthermore, it achieves performance comparable to Llama 2 70B Chat on the original English MT-Bench.

You can find more details in our blog post (en, ja). If you are curious about our model, give our demo a try.

Use in 🤗 Transformers

You can run the model using the pipeline() function from 🤗 Transformers:

from transformers import pipeline, Conversation

chatbot = pipeline("conversational", model="karakuri-ai/karakuri-lm-70b-chat-v0.1", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")

conversation = Conversation("週末に日帰りで東京に遊びに行こうと思っています。日帰りなので、短時間で回れるおすすめの観光プランを教えてください。")
conversation = chatbot(conversation, max_new_tokens=512)
conversation.messages[-1]["content"]

We use the following prompt template of multi-turn conversation in the Llama format, which includes an encoded string of multiple attribute values.

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "System prompt"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "User prompt"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Model response"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "User prompt"},
]
chatbot.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
# <s>[INST] <<SYS>>
# System prompt
# <</SYS>>
#
# User prompt [ATTR] helpfulness: 4 correctness: 4 coherence: 4 complexity: 4 verbosity: 4 quality: 4 toxicity: 0 humor: 0 creativity: 0 [/ATTR] [/INST] Model response </s><s>[INST] User prompt [ATTR] helpfulness: 4 correctness: 4 coherence: 4 complexity: 4 verbosity: 4 quality: 4 toxicity: 0 humor: 0 creativity: 0 [/ATTR] [/INST]

The prompt template contains nine attributes. The first five are derived from HelpSteer, while the remaining four are derived from OASST2. The values are represented by integers ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 being the lowest and 4 being the highest.

• helpfulness (default: 4)
• correctness (default: 4)
• coherence (default: 4)
• complexity (default: 4)
• verbosity (default: 4)
• quality (default: 4)
• toxicity (default: 0)
• humor (default: 0)
• creativity (default: 0)

If you want to change attribute values from the default values specified in the template, you can modify them to any values by adding the attribute values to the user messages:

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "User prompt", "helpfulness": 0, "complexity": 0},
]
chatbot.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
# <s>[INST] User prompt [ATTR] helpfulness: 0 correctness: 4 coherence: 4 complexity: 0 verbosity: 4 quality: 4 toxicity: 0 humor: 0 creativity: 0 [/ATTR] [/INST]
