This is the 10th in a series of models designed to replicate the prose quality of the Claude 3 models, specifically Sonnet and Opus.

This model is fine-tuned on top of google/gemma-2-9b.

Prompting

Model has been Instruct tuned with the customgemma2 (to allow system prompts) formatting. A typical input would look like this:

"""<start_of_turn>system
system prompt<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hi there!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
Nice to meet you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Can I ask a question?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
"""

Credits

We'd like to thank Recursal / Featherless for sponsoring the training compute required for this model. Featherless has been hosting Magnum since the original 72b and has given thousands of people access to our releases.

We would also like to thank all members of Anthracite who made this finetune possible.
