Libraries

How to use Delta-Vector/Austral-24B-Winton with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Delta-Vector/Austral-24B-Winton")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Delta-Vector/Austral-24B-Winton")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Delta-Vector/Austral-24B-Winton")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Overview

Austral 24B - Winton

Harbinger Finetune Mistral Based KTO enhanced Adventure/Roleplay generalist 24B Sized model

More than 1.5-metres tall, about six-metres long and up to 1000-kilograms heavy, Australovenator Wintonensis was a fast and agile hunter. The largest known Australian theropod.

This is a finetune of Harbinger 24B to be a generalist Roleplay/Adventure model. I've removed some of the "slops" that i noticed in an otherwise great model aswell as improving the general writing of the model, This was a multi-stage finetune, all previous checkpoints are released aswell.

Support my finetunes / Me on Kofi: https://Ko-fi.com/deltavector | Thank you to Auri for helping/Testing ♥

Training

As the the Austral/Francois tradition, I built off another great finetune Harbinger-24B, I did 4 epochs ontop with roughly the same datamix as Francois-Huali/Austral 70B as a R128 Lora, then KTO alignment with a mix of Instruct/Small writing datasets and then finally another 4 epoch SFT with Rep_remover (Thanks Pocket!)

Config(Post-KTO SFT)

https://wandb.ai/new-eden/austral/artifacts/axolotl-config/config-0tzehrhe/v0/files/axolotl_config_m8018fm4.yml

This model was trained over 4 epochs using 8 x A100s for the base SFT, Then i used KTO to clean up some coherency issues for 1 epoch, then finally training for another 4 epochs on Rep_Remover to delete slops. Total was roughly 80 hours total.
