Llama-3-Patronus-Lynx-70B-Instruct

Model Card for Model ID

Lynx is an open-source hallucination evaluation model. Patronus-Lynx-70B-Instruct was trained on a mix of datasets including CovidQA, PubmedQA, DROP, RAGTruth. The datasets contain a mix of hand-annotated and synthetic data. The maximum sequence length is 8000 tokens.

How to Get Started with the Model

The model is fine-tuned to be used to detect hallucinations in a RAG setting. Provided a document, question and answer, the model can evaluate whether the answer is faithful to the document.

To use the model, we recommend using the prompt we used for fine-tuning:

PROMPT = """
Given the following QUESTION, DOCUMENT and ANSWER you must analyze the provided answer and determine whether it is faithful to the contents of the DOCUMENT. The ANSWER must not offer new information beyond the context provided in the DOCUMENT. The ANSWER also must not contradict information provided in the DOCUMENT. Output your final verdict by strictly following this format: "PASS" if the answer is faithful to the DOCUMENT and "FAIL" if the answer is not faithful to the DOCUMENT. Show your reasoning.

--
QUESTION (THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS BACKGROUND INFORMATION):
{question}

--
DOCUMENT:
{context}

--
ANSWER:
{answer}

--

Your output should be in JSON FORMAT with the keys "REASONING" and "SCORE":
{{"REASONING": <your reasoning as bullet points>, "SCORE": <your final score>}}
"""

The model will output the score as "PASS" if the answer is faithful to the document or "FAIL" if the answer is not faithful to the document.

Inference

To run inference, you can use HF pipeline:

model_name = 'PatronusAI/Llama-3-Patronus-Lynx-8B-Instruct'
pipe = pipeline(
          "text-generation",
          model=model_name,
          max_new_tokens=600,
          device="cuda",
          return_full_text=False
        )

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt},
]

result = pipe(messages)
print(result[0]['generated_text'])

Since the model is trained in chat format, ensure that you pass the prompt as a user message.

For more information on training details, refer to our ArXiv paper.

Evaluation

The model was evaluated on PatronusAI/HaluBench.

It outperforms GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4-Turbo, GPT-4o and Claude-3-Sonnet on HaluEval.
