EQ Bench

Here are the EQ Bench scores for the EXL2 quants using Alpaca, ChatML, Command-R and Command-R-Plus prompt templates. A higher score is better.

Quant Size	Alpaca	ChatML	Command-R	Command-R-Plus
6.0	70.77	62.58	75.81	74.95
5.5	71.93	67.7	74.9	75.48
5.0	69.51	63.94	74.92	75.28

Note: EQ Bench scripting not working well, other quants may not be tested.

Command-R-Plus Template

This is the Command-R-Plus template yaml that was used in EQ bench(which uses Text Generation Web UI yaml templates). It adds BOS_TOKEN into the starter prompt.

text-generation-webui/instruction-templates/Command-R-Plus.yaml:

yaml

instruction_template: |-
  {%- if messages[0]['role'] == 'system' -%}
      {%- set loop_messages = messages[1:] -%}
      {%- set system_message = messages[0]['content'] -%}
  {%- elif false == true -%}
      {%- set loop_messages = messages -%}
      {%- set system_message = 'You are Command-R, a brilliant, sophisticated, AI-assistant trained to assist human users by providing thorough responses. You are trained by Cohere.' -%}
  {%- else -%}
      {%- set loop_messages = messages -%}
      {%- set system_message = false -%}
  {%- endif -%}
  {%- if system_message != false -%}
      {{ '<BOS_TOKEN><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|SYSTEM_TOKEN|>' + system_message + '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' }}
  {%- endif -%}
  {%- for message in loop_messages -%}
      {%- set content = message['content'] -%}
      {%- if message['role'] == 'user' -%}
          {{ '<|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|USER_TOKEN|>' + content.strip() + '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' }}
      {%- elif message['role'] == 'assistant' -%}
          {{ '<|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>'  + content.strip() + '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' }}
      {%- endif -%}
  {%- endfor -%}
  {%- if add_generation_prompt -%}
      {{ '<|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>' }}
