The Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 is an instruct fine-tuned version of the Bielik-7B-v0.1. Forementioned model stands as a testament to the unique collaboration between the open-science/open-souce project SpeakLeash and the High Performance Computing (HPC) center: ACK Cyfronet AGH. Developed and trained on Polish text corpora, which has been cherry-picked and processed by the SpeakLeash team, this endeavor leverages Polish large-scale computing infrastructure, specifically within the PLGrid environment, and more precisely, the HPC centers: ACK Cyfronet AGH. The creation and training of the Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 was propelled by the support of computational grant number PLG/2024/016951, conducted on the Athena and Helios supercomputer, enabling the use of cutting-edge technology and computational resources essential for large-scale machine learning processes. As a result, the model exhibits an exceptional ability to understand and process the Polish language, providing accurate responses and performing a variety of linguistic tasks with high precision.

We have prepared quantized versions of the model as well as MLX format.

Model

The SpeakLeash team is working on their own set of instructions in Polish, which is continuously being expanded and refined by annotators. A portion of these instructions, which had been manually verified and corrected, has been utilized for training purposes. Moreover, due to the limited availability of high-quality instructions in Polish, publicly accessible collections of instructions in English were used - OpenHermes-2.5 and orca-math-word-problems-200k, which accounted for half of the instructions used in training. The instructions varied in quality, leading to a deterioration in model’s performance. To counteract this while still allowing ourselves to utilize forementioned datasets,several improvements were introduced:

Weighted tokens level loss - a strategy inspired by offline reinforcement learning and C-RLFT
Adaptive learning rate inspired by the study on Learning Rates as a Function of Batch Size
Masked user instructions

Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 has been trained with the use of an original open source framework called ALLaMo implemented by Krzysztof Ociepa. This framework allows users to train language models with architecture similar to LLaMA and Mistral in fast and efficient way.

Quant and MLX versions:

We know that some people want to explore smaller models or don't have the resources to run a full model. Therefore, we have prepared quantized versions of the Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 model. We are also mindful of Apple Silicon.

Instruction format

In order to leverage instruction fine-tuning, your prompt should be surrounded by [INST] and [/INST] tokens. The very first instruction should start with the beginning of a sentence token. The generated completion will be finished by the end-of-sentence token.

E.g.

prompt = "<s>[INST] Jakie mamy pory roku? [/INST]"
completion = "W Polsce mamy 4 pory roku: wiosna, lato, jesień i zima.</s>"

This format is available as a chat template via the apply_chat_template() method:

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto

model_name = "speakleash/Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "Odpowiadaj krótko, precyzyjnie i wyłącznie w języku polskim."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Jakie mamy pory roku w Polsce?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "W Polsce mamy 4 pory roku: wiosna, lato, jesień i zima."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Która jest najcieplejsza?"}
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt")

model_inputs = input_ids.to(device)
model.to(device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=True)
decoded = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)
print(decoded[0])

If for some reason you are unable to use tokenizer.apply_chat_template, the following code will enable you to generate a correct prompt:

python

def chat_template(message, history, system_prompt):
    prompt_builder = ["<s>[INST] "]
    if system_prompt:
        prompt_builder.append(f"<<SYS>>\n{system_prompt}\n<</SYS>>\n\n")
    for human, assistant in history:
        prompt_builder.append(f"{human} [/INST] {assistant}</s>[INST] ")
    prompt_builder.append(f"{message} [/INST]")
    return ''.join(prompt_builder)

system_prompt = "Odpowiadaj krótko, precyzyjnie i wyłącznie w języku polskim."
history = [
    ("Jakie mamy pory roku w Polsce?", "W Polsce mamy 4 pory roku: wiosna, lato, jesień i zima.")
]
message = "Która jest najcieplejsza?"

prompt = chat_template(message, history, system_prompt)

Evaluation

Models have been evaluated on Open PL LLM Leaderboard 5-shot. The benchmark evaluates models in NLP tasks like sentiment analysis, categorization, text classification but does not test chatting skills. Here are presented:

Average - average score among all tasks normalized by baseline scores
Reranking - reranking task, commonly used in RAG
Reader (Generator) - open book question answering task, commonly used in RAG
Perplexity (lower is better) - as a bonus, does not correlate with other scores and should not be used for model comparison

As of April 3, 2024, the following table showcases the current scores of pretrained and continuously pretrained models according to the Open PL LLM Leaderboard, evaluated in a 5-shot setting:

speakleash/mistral-apt3-7B/spi-e0_hf (experimental)	35.50	62.14	87.48	132.78

SpeakLeash models have one of the best scores in the RAG Reader task.
We have managed to increase Average score by almost 9 pp. in comparison to Mistral-7B-v0.1.
In our subjective evaluations of chatting skills SpeakLeash models perform better than other models with higher Average scores.

The results in the above table were obtained without utilizing instruction templates for instructional models, instead treating them like base models. This approach could skew the results, as instructional models are optimized with specific instructions in mind.

Limitations and Biases

Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling and promising performance. It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community in ways to make the model respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.

Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 can produce factually incorrect output, and should not be relied on to produce factually accurate data. Bielik-7B-Instruct-v0.1 was trained on various public datasets. While great efforts have been taken to clear the training data, it is possible that this model can generate lewd, false, biased or otherwise offensive outputs.

License

Because of an unclear legal situation, we have decided to publish the model under CC BY NC 4.0 license - it allows for non-commercial use. The model can be used for scientific purposes and privately, as long as the license conditions are met.
