Claude2-Alpaca: Instruction tuning datasets distilled from Claude2

This is the repo for the Claude2-Alpaca project, which aims to build and share an instruction-following LLaMA model. The repo contains 52k prompts and responses. The repo contains:

• The 52k claude-2 data used for finetuning
• The code for generating the data
• The code for finetuning 7B and 13B models

Overview

The current open-sourced instruction tuning datasets usually distilled the data from the GPT families, e.g., WizardLM distills the data from GPT-3.5-turbo; GPT4LLM distills the data from GPT-4 and Alpaca distills the data from the Text-Davinci-003. We would like to increase the diversity of the instruction tuning dataset and provide the community with more options!

In this repo, we use the same Alpaca 52k prompts to query the Claude-2 and obtain the claude2-alpaca dataset. We also include the instruction-tuned LLaMA-2 models, training code for re-implementation, and the results.

Training

We include the training script for 7B and 13B models:

# make sure the path in the train.sh is correct (use your own path to llama-2's weight and the output path.)
bash train.sh

Data Generation

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=xxx # export your claude key here
python generate_data.py

Results

We use the generated data to fine-tune 7B/13B LLaMA-2 models and show the results here:

	Average	ARC	HellaSwag	MMLU	TruthfulQA	Alpaca_Eval	Avg Length
Llama-2-7b-chat	56.335	52.9	78.55	48.32	45.57	71.37	1479
Llama-2-13b-chat	59.935	59.04	81.94	54.64	44.12	81.09	1513
claude_alpaca-7b	57.78	56.66	81.17	46.58	46.71	71.23	1066
claude_alpaca-13b	61.29	61.18	84.08	55.74	44.18	78.93	1127

Compared to the llama2-chat, our models can have better average performance.

The trained models can be found here: claude_alpaca-7b and claude_alpaca-13b

TODO:

We include the TODO list for our project. If you also are interested in the following research project, do not hesitate to contact us (we are open to any kind of collaboration)!

• Investigate the bias of the current model-based evaluations. GPT-4 and Claude-2 may have a preference for its distilled models.
• Transfer Attack
• The synergy of different models distilled from different sources.
