Boris-75M-Instruct

Boris-75M-Instruct

Boris-75M-Instruct is the instruction-tuned variant of KSP-NMAI/Boris-75M, a 75 million-parameter language model created by New Millennium Artificial Intelligence (NMAI). It was fine-tuned on tatsu-lab/alpaca.

Prompt format

This model uses the Alpaca format. A chat template is included in tokenizer_config.json, so apply_chat_template produces the correct prompt automatically:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("KSP-NMAI/Boris-75M-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("KSP-NMAI/Boris-75M-Instruct")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}]
prompt = tok.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)

ids = tok(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
out = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=64, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95, temperature=0.7)
print(tok.decode(out[0][ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

If you are building the prompt by hand, the layout is:

### Instruction:
{your instruction}

### Response:

Generation should stop at ### Instruction: (or end-of-text, token id 0).

Details

Base model training

Trained on 1.55B tokens for 14:49:08 on one RTX 3060.

The table above describes the base model's pretraining run; the instruction tuning was applied on top of that checkpoint.

Limitations

This is a very small instruction-tuned model. It will produce text that is frequently inaccurate, inconsistent, or offensive, and it has received no alignment, RLHF, or safety tuning beyond supervised fine-tuning on Alpaca. Do not rely on it for factual information or deploy it without supervision.
