Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1 is a 7B parameter causal decoder-only model built by LINAGORA and OpenLLM-France adapted from Mistral-7B on French conversational data.

Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1 is a pretrained language model designed to be attuned to the dynamics of linguistic interactions in dialogue. Without further training, its expected use is to generate continuations of dialogues. Its main purpose is to serve as a base model for fine-tuning on dialogue generation (e.g., chat) and dialogue understanding (e.g., meeting summarization) tasks. Please note that due to its training, the model is prone to generate dialogues with disfluencies and other constructions common to spoken language.

A qualitatively better variant of this model is available under Claire-7B-0.1.

Typical usage

python

import transformers
import torch

model_name = "OpenLLM-France/Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1"

tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name,
    device_map="auto",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    load_in_4bit=True                          # For efficient inference, if supported by the GPU card
)

pipeline = transformers.pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
generation_kwargs = dict(
    num_return_sequences=1,                    # Number of variants to generate.
    return_full_text= False,                   # Do not include the prompt in the generated text.
    max_new_tokens=200,                        # Maximum length for the output text.
    do_sample=True, top_k=10, temperature=1.0, # Sampling parameters.
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,       # Just to avoid a harmless warning.
)

prompt = """\
- Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
- Bonjour Camille,\
"""
completions = pipeline(prompt, **generation_kwargs)
for completion in completions:
    print(prompt + " […]" + completion['generated_text'])

This will print something like:

- Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
- Bonjour Camille, […] je vous prépare un plat de saison, une daube provençale.
- Ah je ne connais pas cette recette.
- C'est très facile à préparer, vous n'avez qu'à mettre de l'eau dans une marmite, y mettre de l'oignon émincé, des carottes coupées en petits morceaux, et vous allez mettre votre viande de bœuf coupé en petits morceaux également.
- Je n'ai jamais cuisiné de viande de bœuf, mais c'est vrai que ça a l'air bien facile.
- Vous n'avez plus qu'à laisser mijoter, et ensuite il sera temps de servir les clients.
- Très bien.

You will need at least 6GB of VRAM to run inference using 4bit quantization (16GB of VRAM without 4bit quantization).

If you have trouble running this code, make sure you have recent versions of torch, transformers and accelerate (see requirements.txt).

Typical prompts

Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1 was trained on diarized French conversations. During training, the dialogues were normalized in several formats. The possible formats for expected prompts are as follows:

A monologue can be specified as a single line prompt (though keep in mind that the model might still return a dialogue because of its training):

prompt = "Mesdames et messieurs les députés, chers collègues, bonsoir. Vous l'aurez peut-être remarqué, je cite rarement"

A dialogue between two speakers can be specified with one line per speech turn starting with a dash:

python

prompt = """\
- Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
- Bonjour Camille,\
"""

A dialogue or multilogue (with two or more speakers) can be specified with lines that start with [Intervenant X:] where X is a number:

python

prompt = """\
[Intervenant 1:] Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
[Intervenant 2:] Bonjour Camille,\
"""

A dialogue or multilogue with named speakers can be specified with lines that start with [SpeakerName:] where SpeakerName can be a first name, a first and a last name, a nickname, a title…

python

prompt = """\
[Mme Camille Durand:] Bonjour Dominique, qu'allez-vous nous cuisiner aujourd'hui ?
[Mr. Dominique Petit:] Bonjour Camille,\
"""

Training Data

The training dataset is available at OpenLLM-France/Claire-Dialogue-French-0.1 and described in "The Claire French Dialogue Dataset" (2023).

Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1 was tuned from Mistral-7B-v0.1 on the following data distribution:

Data type	Words	Training Sampling Weight	Sources
Parliamentary Proceedings	135M	35%	Assemblée Nationale
Theatre	16M	18%	Théâtre Classique, Théâtre Gratuit
Interviews	6.4M	29%	TCOF, CFPP, CFPB (ORFEO), ACSYNT, PFC, Valibel (ORFEO), ESLO
Free Conversations	2.2M	10%	CRFP (ORFEO), OFROM (ORFEO), CID, Rhapsodie, ParisStories, PFC, CLAPI, C-ORAL-ROM (ORFEO), LinTO, ESLO
Meetings	1.2M	5%	SUMM-RE, LinTO, Réunions de travail (ORFEO)
Debates	402k	<2%	FREDSum, ESLO
Assistance	159k	<1%	Fleuron (ORFEO), Accueil UBS, OTG, ESLO
Presentation, Formal Address	86k	<0.5%	Valibel (ORFEO), LinTO, ESLO

Training data was augmented with the following techniques:

varying the format used to indicate speech turns (dashes or [XXX:])
substituting [Intervenant X:] for [SpeakerName:] or vice versa, where [SpeakerName:] might be a real name or a randomly generated name
removing punctuation marks and/or casing (to prepare the model for transcripts produced by some Automatic Speech Recognition systems)

Long conversations were truncated at a maximum of 4096 tokens. Where possible, they were split between speaker turns.

While the model has been trained and evaluated only on French dialogues, it may be able to generate conversations in other languages from the original Mistral-7B-v0.1 training data.

Training Procedure

The training code is available at https://github.com/OpenLLM-France/Lit-Claire.

Claire-Mistral-7B-0.1 is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token). See Mistral-7B for more details.

Hyperparameter	Value
Precision	`bfloat16`
Optimizer	AdamW
Learning rate	1e-4
