Specifically, it has been trained using a Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct Base on a novel approach combining the strength of Bradley Terry and SteerLM Regression Reward Modelling. Given a English conversation with multiple turns between user and assistant (of up to 4,096 tokens), it rates the quality of the final assistant turn using a reward score. For the same prompt, a response with higher reward score has higher quality than another response with a lower reward score, but the same cannot be said when comparing the scores between responses to different prompts. Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward-HF has been converted from [Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward) to support it in the HuggingFace Transformers codebase. Please note that evaluation results might be slightly different from the [Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward) as evaluated in NeMo-Aligner, which the evaluation results below are based on.

We find that on categories that uses human annotations as ground truth, Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward performs similar to Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B (<= 2.2% difference). On the other hand, when GPT-4 annotations are used as Ground-Truth, Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward trails substantially behind Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B (by 10.8 to 19.2%). This suggests that Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B can better modelling GPT-4 preferences (but not human-annotated preferences), likely contributed by the inclusion of GPT-4 annotated training data used to train it found in the [OffSetBias dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/NCSOFT/offsetbias) as part of the [Skywork-Reward-Preference-80k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Skywork/Skywork-Reward-Preference-80K-v0.1). | Model | Type of Data Used For Training | Chat-Hard | LLMBar-Adversarial-Manual | LLMBar-Adversarial-Neighbour | LLMBar-Natural | LLMBar-Adversarial-GPTInst | LLMBar-Adversarial-GPTOut | MT-Bench-Hard| |:-----------------------------|:----------------|:-----|:----------|:-------|:----------|:-----------------------|:-----------------------|:-----------------------| |||| Human as Ground Truth | Human as Ground Truth | Human as Ground Truth | _GPT-4 as Ground Truth_ |_GPT-4 as Ground Truth_ | _GPT-4 as Ground Truth_ | | Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward |Permissive Licensed Data Only (CC-BY-4.0) | 85.7 | 76.1 | 88.8 | 95.0 | 87.0 | 72.3 | 75.7 | Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B | Includes GPT4 Generated Data | 91.4 | 78.3 | 89.6 | 96.0 | 97.8 | 91.5 | 86.5| ## Usage: You can use the model using HuggingFace Transformers library with 2 or more 80GB GPUs (NVIDIA Ampere or newer) with at least 150GB of free disk space to accomodate the download. This code has been tested on Transformers v4.44.0, torch v2.4.0 and 2 A100 80GB GPUs, but any setup that supports ```meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct``` should support this model as well. If you run into problems, you can consider doing ```pip install -U transformers```. ```python import torch from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model_name = "nvidia/Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward-HF" model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto") tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) prompt = "What is 1+1?" good_response = "1+1=2" bad_response = "1+1=3" for response in [good_response, bad_response]: messages = [{'role': "user", "content": prompt}, {'role': "assistant", "content": response}] tokenized_message = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=False, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True) response_token_ids = model.generate(tokenized_message['input_ids'].cuda(),attention_mask=tokenized_message['attention_mask'].cuda(), max_new_tokens=1, return_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True) reward = response_token_ids['scores'][0][0][0].item() print(reward) # reward for good_response = -3.28125 # reward for bad_response = -4.28125 ``` ## Contact E-Mail: [Zhilin Wang](mailto:zhilinw@nvidia.com) ## Citation If you find this model useful, please cite the following works ```bibtex @misc{wang2024helpsteer2, title={HelpSteer2: Open-source dataset for training top-performing reward models}, author={Zhilin Wang and Yi Dong and Olivier Delalleau and Jiaqi Zeng and Gerald Shen and Daniel Egert and Jimmy J.
