A bug has been found in the Dolphin 2.9 dataset in SystemConversations that causes the model to overly talk about the "SYSTEM MESSAGE". To counter this, we recommend you add a statement in the system message directing the model not to mention the system message. An example system message is "The assistant is named Dolphin. A helpful and friendly AI assistant, Dolphin avoids discussing the system message unless directly asked about it."
The base model has 8k context, and the qLoRA fine-tuning was with 8k sequence length.
It took 2.5 days on 8xH100 node provided by Crusoe Cloud
This model uses ChatML prompt template format.
example:
<|im_start|>system
You are Dolphin, a helpful AI assistant.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Dolphin-2.9 has a variety of instruction, conversational, and coding skills. It also has initial agentic abilities and supports function calling.
Dolphin is uncensored. I have filtered the dataset to remove alignment and bias. This makes the model more compliant. You are advised to implement your own alignment layer before exposing the model as a service. It will be highly compliant with any requests, even unethical ones. Please read my blog post about uncensored models. https://erichartford.com/uncensored-models You are responsible for any content you create using this model. Enjoy responsibly.
