Model Details

Birbal-7B-V1 is fine-tuned on our curated dataset of 200k size for nearly 3 epochs. Our approach for dataset preparation is focused on finding most-relavant examples from large pool of tasks spanning across NLP, Maths, Commonsense, etc. Hence, we expect model to perform well on different tasks including unseen tasks.

Uses

Birbal-7B-V1 is trained with the following format:

## Instruction:
<instruction>

## Input:
<input>

## Response:
<response>

If a record does not contain any instruction, here is the training format:

## Input:
<input>

## Response:
<response>

It will performed best if queried in the same way.

Downstream Use

Birbal-7B-V1 is fine-tuned on our curated dataset that contain examples from large number of tasks spanning across NLP, Maths, QA, etc. Hence, we expect the model to perform well on in general on various kinds of tasks.

How to Get Started with the Model

It is quite easy! Merge Birbal-7B-V1 peft model with Mistral-7B model and start running inference!

Training Details

We used Mistral-7B as a base model and fine-tuned it on a single RTX 4090 GPU for 24 hours as per the competition rules. Fine-tuning was performed using 4-bit QLoRA.
