1. Model description

This model achieves 91.36 on AlpacaEval. It is tuned after 4 iterations of online alignment. In each iteration, we apply the following three steps:

• Step 1: Collect instructions, and obtain the responses from the target model.

• Step 2: Annotate judgments for the responses.

• Step 3: Apply CUT to fine-tune the target model with the above instruction-response-judgment triplets.

Specifically, we use LLaMA2-chat-13b as the base LLM. In each iteration, we sample 1000 instructions from Stanford Alpaca. To avoid over-fitting, we ensure that the sampled data are different in each iteration. We then ask GPT4 for the judgment annotation.

2. Template

The CUT model is a chat model and it uses the following Alpaca template:

Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
{instruction}

### Response:

3. How to use

3.1. Huggingface

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

torch.set_default_device("cuda")

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("xww033/cut-13b", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xww033/cut-13b")

inputs = tokenizer('''Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
How did US states get their names?

### Response:''', return_tensors="pt", return_attention_mask=False)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=2048)
text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs)[0]
print(text)

3.2. FastChat

Fastchat provides a simple setup for those interested in trying our aligned model. After downloading the CUT model through HuggingFace, clone the Fastchat repository:

git clone https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat.git
cd FastChat

Download the required packages:

pip install --upgrade pip  # enable PEP 660 support
pip install -e .

Finally, run the following:

python -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path xww033/cut-13b --conv-template alpaca
