This repository contains the mini-mistral-360M model, a 360 million parameter version of the Mistral architecture, trained for a single epoch. The model was trained on a diverse dataset comprising Wikipedia articles and the OpenHermes dataset. While this model is still in its early stages and not particularly useful as of now, it serves as an experimental showcase of integrating the Grokfast algorithm into the training process.

Model Details

• Architecture: Mistral
• Parameters: 360 million
• Training Duration: 1 epoch
• Training Dataset: Wikipedia articles and OpenHermes dataset
• Training Method: Grokfast-enhanced Transformers
• Training Hardware: 2 x Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB

Purpose

The primary goal of this experiment was to observe the impact of the Grokfast algorithm on the training dynamics of a 360M parameter Mistral model. During training, it was noted that the evaluation loss followed the training loss closely, which is an intriguing behavior warranting further investigation.

Usage

To use this model, you can load it with the transformers library from HuggingFace:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RoboApocalypse/mini-mistral-360M-wikipedia-20231101.en-science-sci-fi-OpenHermes-2.5-chatML-Grokfast")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("RoboApocalypse/mini-mistral-360M-wikipedia-20231101.en-science-sci-fi-OpenHermes-2.5-chatML-Grokfast")

# Example usage
input_text = "Hello, world!"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

Training Insights

This experiment was inspired by the paper "Grokfast: Accelerated Grokking by Amplifying Slow Gradients" by Jaerin Lee, Bong Gyun Kang, Kihoon Kim, and Kyoung Mu Lee, aims to accelerate the generalization of models under the grokking phenomenon. The paper is available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.20233
