Excalibur-7b-DPO
An initial foray into the world of fine-tuning. The goal of this release was to amplify the quality of the original model's responses, in particular for vision use cases*

Static (Legacy) quants available here
Notes & Methodology
- Excalibur-7b fine-tuned with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) using Intel/orca_dpo_pairs
- This is a quick experiment to determine the impact of DPO finetuning on the Excelsior-7b base model
- Ran for a little over an hour on a single A100
- Fine-tuning succeeded in making model conversational and more well-rounded
- Benchmark scores increased in the following categories versus base Excelsior-7b:
- ARC: 69.71 -> 70.9
- HellaSwag: 87.56 -> 87.93
- TruthfulQA: 67.24 -> 70.82
- Average: 73.6 -> 73.84
- Precision: bfloat16
Sample Question - Vision
*Requires additional mmproj file. You have two options for vision functionality (available inside this repo):
Select the gguf file of your choice in Koboldcpp as usual, then make sure to choose the mmproj file above in the LLaVA mmproj field of the model submenu:

Prompt Format
- For best results please use ChatML for the prompt format. Alpaca may also work.
