Model Details

SauerkrautLM-Phi-3-medium

• Model Type: SauerkrautLM-Phi-3-medium is a finetuned Model based on unsloth/Phi-3-medium-4k-instruct
• Language(s): German, English
• License: MIT
• Contact: VAGO solutions

Training procedure:

• We trained this model with Spectrum QLoRA DPO Fine-Tuning for 1 epoch with 70k samples targeting 50% of the layers with a high Learningrate of 5e-04. This relatively high learning rate was feasible due to the selective targeting of layers; had we applied this rate to all layers, the gradients would have exploded.

Fine-Tuning Details

Epochs: 1 Data Size: 70,000 samples Targeted Layers: 50% Learning Rate: 5e-04 Warm-up Ratio: 0.03 The strategy of targeting only half of the layers also enabled us to use a very low warm-up ratio of 0.03, contributing to the overall stability of the fine-tuning process.

Results

This fine-tuning approach resulted in a noticeable improvement in the model's reasoning capabilities. The model's performance was evaluated using a variety of benchmark suites, including the newly introduced MixEval, which shows a 96% correlation with Chatbot Arena. MixEval uses regular updated test data, providing a reliable benchmark for model performance.
