falcon-40b-sft-mix-1226

Open-Assistant Falcon 40B SFT MIX Model

This model is a fine-tuning of TII's Falcon 40B LLM. It was trained on a mixture of OASST top-2 threads (exported on June 2, 2023), Dolly-15k and synthetic instruction datasets (see dataset configuration below).

Prompting

Two special tokens are used to mark the beginning of user and assistant turns: <|prompter|> and <|assistant|>. Each turn ends with a <|endoftext|> token.

Input prompt example:

<|prompter|>What is a meme, and what's the history behind this word?<|endoftext|><|assistant|>

The input ends with the <|assistant|> token to signal that the model should start generating the assistant reply.
