Model Details

We introduce Llama3-ChatQA-2, a suite of 128K long-context models, which bridges the gap between open-source LLMs and leading proprietary models (e.g., GPT-4-Turbo) in long-context understanding and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities. Llama3-ChatQA-2 is developed using an improved training recipe from ChatQA-1.5 paper, and it is built on top of Llama-3 base model. Specifically, we continued training of Llama-3 base models to extend the context window from 8K to 128K tokens, along with a three-stage instruction tuning process to enhance the model’s instruction-following, RAG performance, and long-context understanding capabilities. Llama3-ChatQA-2 has two variants: Llama3-ChatQA-2-8B and Llama3-ChatQA-2-70B. Both models were originally trained using Megatron-LM, we converted the checkpoints to Hugging Face format.

Overview of Benchmark Results

We evaluate ChatQA 2 on short-context RAG benchmark (ChatRAG) (within 4K tokens), long context tasks from SCROLLS and LongBench (within 32K tokens), and ultra-long context tasks from In- finiteBench (beyond 100K tokens). Results are shown below.

Note that ChatQA-2 is built based on Llama-3 base model.

Prompt Format

We highly recommend that you use the prompt format we provide, as follows:

when context is available

System: {System}

{Context}

User: {Question}

Assistant: {Response}

User: {Question}

Assistant:

when context is not available

System: {System}

User: {Question}

Assistant: {Response}

User: {Question}

Assistant:

The content of the system's turn (i.e., {System}) for both scenarios is as follows:

This is a chat between a user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions based on the context. The assistant should also indicate when the answer cannot be found in the context.

Note that our ChatQA-2 models are optimized for the capability with context, e.g., over documents or retrieved context.

How to use

take the whole document as context

This can be applied to the scenario where the whole document can be fitted into the model, so that there is no need to run retrieval over the document.
