Open-Assistant Falcon 40B SFT OASST-TOP1 Model

This model is a fine-tuning of TII's Falcon 40B LLM. It was trained with top-1 (high-quality) demonstrations of the OASST data set (exported on May 6, 2023) with an effective batch size of 144 for ~7.5 epochs with LIMA style dropout (p=0.3) and a context-length of 2048 tokens.

Prompting

Two special tokens are used to mark the beginning of user and assistant turns: <|prompter|> and <|assistant|>. Each turn ends with a <|endoftext|> token.

Input prompt example:

<|prompter|>What is a meme, and what's the history behind this word?<|endoftext|><|assistant|>

The input ends with the <|assistant|> token to signal that the model should start generating the assistant reply.
