SciTulu is a collection of instruction-following language models targeting scientific literature understanding use cases. Starting from the Tulu v2 7B model, SciTulu is trained on a mix of science-specific demonstrations from the SciRIFF dataset, together with general-domain instructions from the Tulu v2 SFT mix. SciTulu 7B achives a 28.1% average improvement over Tulu v2 7B on nine held-out scientific literature understanding tasks. More information can be found in our preprint: SciRIFF: A Resource to Enhance Language Model Instruction-Following over Scientific Literature.

Training and evaluation code for SciTulu is available in our GitHub repository: https://github.com/allenai/SciRIFF.
