# RPMerge |
|
A merge of several Yi 34B models with a singular goal: 40K+ context, instruct-enhanced storytelling. |
|
|
|
Disappointed with some quirks of my previous kitchen sink merges (like token/instruct formats from various models showing up when they shouldn't), I've gone 'back to the basics' and picked a few Vicuna-format only models: |
|
|
|
- [DrNicefellow/ChatAllInOne-Yi-34B-200K-V1](https://huggingface.co/DrNicefellow/ChatAllInOne-Yi-34B-200K-V1) and [migtissera/Tess-34B-v1.5b](https://huggingface.co/migtissera/Tess-34B-v1.5b) both have excellent general instruction-following performance. |
|
|
|
- [cgato/Thespis-34b-v0.7](https://huggingface.co/cgato/Thespis-34b-v0.7) is trained on the "Username: {Input} / BotName: {Response}" format, to emphasize it in the merge (but not force it). It also seems to work for multi-character stories. |
|
|
|
- [Doctor-Shotgun/limarpv3-yi-llama-34b-lora](https://huggingface.co/Doctor-Shotgun/limarpv3-yi-llama-34b-lora) is trained on roleplaying data, but merged at a modest weight to not over emphasize it. This is the only non-vicuna model (being alpaca format), but it doesn't seem to interefere with the Vicuna format or adversely affect long-context perplexity |
|
|
|
- [adamo1139/yi-34b-200k-rawrr-dpo-2](https://huggingface.co/adamo1139/yi-34b-200k-rawrr-dpo-2) the base for the limarp lora, this is base Yi gently finetuned to discourage refusals. |
|
|
|
- [migtissera/Tess-M-Creative-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/migtissera/Tess-M-Creative-v1.0) and [NousResearch/Nous-Capybara-34B](https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Capybara-34B) are both "undertrained" Yi models. I find they excel at raw completion performance (like long novel continuations) while still retaining some Vicuna instruct ability. This may be why some still prefer the original Tess 1.0/Capybara merge. |
|
|
|
I consider this a more "focused" merge that previous ones. I will investigate other models (perhaps chatML models?) for a more "factual assistant" focused merge, as well as a coding-focused merge if I can't find one to suit my needs. |

## Prompt template: Orca-Vicuna |
|
``` |
|
SYSTEM: {system_message} |
|
USER: {prompt} |
|
ASSISTANT: |
|
``` |
|
Raw prompting as described here is also effective: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/18zqy4s/the_secret_to_writing_quality_stories_with_llms/ |
|
|
|
As well as a very explicit system prompt like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1aiz6zu/roleplaying_system_prompts/koygiwa/ |
|
|
|
|
|
## Running |
|
|
|
Chinese models with large tokenizer vocabularies like Yi need *careful* parameter tuning due to their huge logit sampling "tails." Yi in particular also runs relatively "hot" even at lower temperatures. |
|
|
|
I am a huge fan of Kalomaze's quadratic sampling (shown as "smoothing factor" where available), as described here: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/5403 |
|
|
|
Otherwise, I recommend a lower temperature with 0.1 or higher MinP, a little repetition penalty, and mirostat with a low tau, and no other samplers. See the explanation here: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/3841 |
|
|
|
24GB GPUs can efficiently run Yi-34B-200K models at **40K-90K context** with exllamav2, and performant UIs like [exui](https://github.com/turboderp/exui). I go into more detail in this [post](https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1896igc/how_i_run_34b_models_at_75k_context_on_24gb_fast/). Empty 16GB GPUs can still run the high context with aggressive quantization. |
|
|
|
To load/train this in full-context backends like transformers, you *must* change `max_position_embeddings` in config.json to a lower value than 200,000, otherwise you will OOM! I do not recommend running high context without context-efficient backends that support flash attention + 8 bit kv cache, like exllamav2, litellm, vllm or unsloth. |

## Testing Notes |
|
|
|
Thanks to ParasiticRogue for this idea of a Vicuna-only merge, see: https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/jondurbin_bagel-dpo-34b-v0.2-exl2-4bpw-fiction/discussions |
|
|
|
See: https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megamerge-v8#testing-notes |
|
|
|
This is a possible base for a storytelling finetune/LASER in the future, once I can bite the bullet and rent some A100s or a MI300. |
|
|
|
I have tested this merge with with novel-style continuation (but not much chat-style roleplay), and some assistant-style responses and long context analysis. I haven't seen any refusals so far. |

We're new, busy, and still setting things up. But if you have any business inquiries, want a job, or just want some consultation, feel free to shoot me an email. We have expertise in RAG applications and llama/embeddings model finetuning, and absolutely *none* of the nonsense of scammy AI startups. |

I also set up a Ko-Fi! I want to run some (personal) training/LASERing as well, at 100K context or so. If you'd like to buy me 10 minutes on an A100 (or 5 seconds on an MI300X), I'd appreciate it: https://ko-fi.com/alphaatlas |
