# BloomChat V1.0

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

BloomChat-v1.0 is based on [BigScience Group Bloom-176 model](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom), and is instruction-tuned on a subset of 100k datapoints per data source from the [OIG dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/OIG) provided by laion. Then aligned using [Dolly 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k) and [Oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1).

## Model Details

### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

- **Model type:** Language Model
- **Language(s):** Multiple; see [training data from Bloom-176B](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom#training-data)
- **License:** apache-2.0
- **Instruction Tuned from model:** [BigScience Group Bloom-176B](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom)

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

### Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

[More Information Needed]

### Downstream Use [optional]

<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->

[More Information Needed]

### Out-of-Scope Use

<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Like all LLMs, BloomChat has certain limitations:
- Hallucination: BloomChat may sometimes generate responses that contain plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or irrelevant information.
- Code Switching: The model might unintentionally switch between languages or dialects within a single response, affecting the coherence and understandability of the output.
- Repetition: BloomChat may produce repetitive phrases or sentences, leading to less engaging and informative responses.
- Coding and Math: The model's performance in generating accurate code or solving complex mathematical problems may be limited.
- Toxicity: BloomChat may inadvertently generate responses containing inappropriate or harmful content.

### Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.

## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

[More Information Needed]

### Suggested inference parameters
- Temperature: 0.8
- Repetition penalty: 1.2
- Top-p: 0.9
- Max generated tokens: 512

### Suggested System Prompts
```
<human>: Write a script in which Bob accidentally breaks his dad's guitar
<bot>:
```

```
<human>: Classify the sentiment of the following sentence into Positive, Neutral, or Negative. Do it on a scale of 1/10: How about the following sentence: It is raining outside and I feel so blue
<bot>:
```

```
<human>: give a python code to open a http server in 8080 port using python 3.7
<bot>:
```

```
<human>: Answer the following question using the context below:
Q: Which regulatory body is invovled?
Context: U.S. authorities launched emergency measures on Sunday to shore up confidence in the banking system after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB.O) threatened to trigger a broader financial crisis. After a dramatic weekend, regulators said the failed bank’s customers will have access to all their deposits starting Monday and set up a new facility to give banks access to emergency funds. The Federal Reserve also made it easier for banks to borrow from it in emergencies. While the measures provided some relief for Silicon Valley firms and global markets on Monday, worries about broader banking risks remain and have cast doubts over whether the Fed will stick with its plan for aggressive interest rate hikes.

## Training Details

### Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

- [OIG dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/OIG)
- [Dolly 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k)
- [Oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1)

### Training Procedure 

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

We trained BloomChat with SambaStudio, a platform built on SambaNova's in-house Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU). We started from [Bloom-176B](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom), an OSS multilingual 176B GPT model pretrained by the [BigScience group](https://huggingface.co/bigscience).

### Prompting Style Used For Training
```
<human>: {input that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: 
```

```
<human>: {fewshot1 input}
<bot>: {fewshot1 response}
<human>: {fewshot2 input}
<bot>: {fewshot2 response}
<human>: {input that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: 
```
