Starling-LM-7B-beta ONNX

Model Summary

This repository contains the ONNX-optimized version of Starling-LM-7B-beta, designed to accelerate inference using ONNX Runtime. These optimizations are specifically tailored for CPU and DirectML. DirectML is a high-performance, hardware-accelerated DirectX 12 library for machine learning, offering GPU acceleration across a wide range of supported hardware and drivers, including those from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.

Optimized Configurations

The following optimized configurations are available:

• ONNX model for int4 DirectML: Optimized for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs on Windows, quantized to int4 using AWQ.
• ONNX model for int4 CPU and Mobile: ONNX model for CPU and mobile using int4 quantization via RTN. There are two versions uploaded to balance latency vs. accuracy. Acc=1 is targeted at improved accuracy, while Acc=4 is for improved performance. For mobile devices, we recommend using the model with acc-level-4.

Usage

Installation and Setup

To use the Starling-LM-7B-beta ONNX model on Windows with DirectML, follow these steps:

1. Create and activate a Conda environment:

conda create -n onnx python=3.10
conda activate onnx

1. Install Git LFS:

winget install -e --id GitHub.GitLFS

1. Install Hugging Face CLI:

pip install huggingface-hub[cli]

1. Download the model:

huggingface-cli download EmbeddedLLM/Starling-LM-7b-beta-onnx --include="onnx/directml/*" --local-dir .\Starling-LM-7B-beta-onnx

1. Install necessary Python packages:

pip install numpy==1.26.4
pip install onnxruntime-directml
pip install --pre onnxruntime-genai-directml

• CPU: AMD Ryzen CPU

Model Description

• Developed by: The Nexusflow Team (Banghua Zhu, Evan Frick, Tianhao Wu, Hanlin Zhu, Karthik Ganesan, Wei-Lin Chiang, Jian Zhang, and Jiantao Jiao)
• Model type: Language Model fine-tuned with RLHF / RLAIF
• License: Apache-2.0 license under the condition that the model is not used to compete with OpenAI
• Finetuned from model: Openchat-3.5-0106 (based on Mistral-7B-v0.1)

We introduce Starling-LM-7B-beta, an open large language model (LLM) trained by Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF). Starling-LM-7B-beta is trained from Openchat-3.5-0106 with our new reward model Nexusflow/Starling-RM-34B and policy optimization method Fine-Tuning Language Models from Human Preferences (PPO). Harnessing the power of the ranking dataset, berkeley-nest/Nectar, the upgraded reward model, Starling-RM-34B, and the new reward training and policy tuning pipeline, Starling-LM-7B-beta scores an improved 8.12 in MT Bench with GPT-4 as a judge.
