We assume you have access to a LLaMa model in HF format already. You can find details on getting access and converting the model here: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/llama

Clone https://github.com/allenai/open-instruct and install the required dependencies, or just copy scripts/weight_diff.py and install the minimal requirements listed in weight-diff-requirements.txt. Then download or clone this model diff to the same machine.

Then, run:

python scripts/weight_diff.py recover --path_raw ${hf_llama_path} --path_tuned ${output_path} --path_diff ${diff_location}

And you will have a recovered model! Note this takes up a decent amount of RAM, especially for the larger models.

Input Format

The model is trained to use the following format (note the newlines):

<|user|>
Your message here!
<|assistant|>

For best results, format all inputs in this manner. Make sure to include a newline after <|assistant|>, this can affect generation quality quite a bit.
