ClimateGPT-7B-FSG
ClimateGPT is a family of AI models designed to synthesize interdisciplinary research on climate change. ClimateGPT-7B-FSG (from scratch general) is a 7 billion parameter transformer decoder model that was pre-trained for 319.5B tokens and then continuously pre-training on a collection of 4.2B tokens from curated climate documents. The model is further instruction fine-tuned on a dataset of instruction-completion pairs manually collected by AppTek in cooperation with climate scientists. ClimateGPT-7B outperforms Llama-2-70B-Chat on our climate-specific benchmarks. The model is designed to be used together with retrieval augmentation to extend the knowledge, and increase the factuality of the model and with cascaded machine translation to increase the language coverage.

Uses
- This is an experimental model and it is only intended to be used to reproduce our results and for LLM research. For any other use-case, we recommend to use ClimateGPT-7B, 13B or 70B
- Despite the efforts from the development team to eliminate them, as every other chat-capable LLMs, this model may generate biased, offensive or inaccurate responses.
Downstream Use
ClimateGPT-7B-FSG is an instruction-tuned model that can be directly used for climate-specific question-answering applications. It was trained to perform well with retrieval augmentation and supports up to 5 references in context.
The model was trained using ChatML so the following format should be followed when prompting, including the <|im_start|>, <|im_end|> tags, system, user, context and assistant identifiers and [[0]], [[1]]] etc. tokens to indicate references.
"""
<|im_start|>system
{system_message}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{prompt}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>context
[[0]] "{reference1_title}", {reference1_year}
{reference1_text}
[[1]] "{reference2_title}", {reference2_year}
{reference2_text}
[...]<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""
Training
- Details on the pre-training data are given in our paper.
- For continued pre-training, 4.2B climate-specific tokens (tokenized by the Llama tokenizer) are used.
- For instruction fine-tuning, about 272K instruction-completion pairs (both in the climate domain but also general domain) are used.
