bling-phi-1_5b-v0 is part of the BLING ("Best Little Instruct No GPU required") model series, RAG-instruct trained on top of a Microsoft Phi-1.5B base model.

BLING models are fine-tuned with high-quality custom instruct datasets, designed for rapid protyping in RAG scenarios.

Please note that use of this model is subject to the Microsoft Research License - and may not be used for any commercial purpose. We are providing our fine-tuned version, including the benchmarking results, solely for purpose of research and advancing insights on the performance of smaller models in RAG scenarios - it provides another point of comparison with other similarly sized and similarly finetuned BLING models.

For models with comparable performance and open source licenses that permit commercial use cases in RAG deployments, please see:

Model Description

• Developed by: llmware
• Model type: Phi-1.5B
• Language(s) (NLP): English
• License: Microsoft Research License
• Finetuned from model: Microsoft Phi-1.5B

Uses

The intended use of BLING models is two-fold:

1. Provide high-quality RAG-Instruct models designed for fact-based, no "hallucination" question-answering in connection with an enterprise RAG workflow.

2. BLING models are fine-tuned on top of leading base foundation models, generally in the 1-3B+ range, and purposefully rolled-out across multiple base models to provide choices and "drop-in" replacements for RAG specific use cases.

Direct Use

BLING is designed for enterprise automation use cases, especially in knowledge-intensive industries, such as financial services, legal and regulatory industries with complex information sources.

BLING models have been trained for common RAG scenarios, specifically: question-answering, key-value extraction, and basic summarization as the core instruction types without the need for a lot of complex instruction verbiage - provide a text passage context, ask questions, and get clear fact-based responses.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Any model can provide inaccurate or incomplete information, and should be used in conjunction with appropriate safeguards and fact-checking mechanisms.

How to Get Started with the Model

The fastest way to get started with dRAGon is through direct import in transformers:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM  
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bling-phi-1_5b-v0", trust_remote_code=True)  
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bling-phi-1_5b-v0", trust_remote_code=True)  

Please refer to the generation_test .py files in the Files repository, which includes 200 samples and script to test the model. The generation_test_llmware_script.py includes built-in llmware capabilities for fact-checking, as well as easy integration with document parsing and actual retrieval to swap out the test set for RAG workflow consisting of business documents.

The BLING model was fine-tuned with a simple "<human> and <bot> wrapper", so to get the best results, wrap inference entries as:

full_prompt = "<human>: " + my_prompt + "\n" + "<bot>:"

The BLING model was fine-tuned with closed-context samples, which assume generally that the prompt consists of two sub-parts:

1. Text Passage Context, and
2. Specific question or instruction based on the text passage

To get the best results, package "my_prompt" as follows:

my_prompt = {{text_passage}} + "\n" + {{question/instruction}}

If you are using a HuggingFace generation script:

# prepare prompt packaging used in fine-tuning process
new_prompt = "<human>: " + entries["context"] + "\n" + entries["query"] + "\n" + "<bot>:"

inputs = tokenizer(new_prompt, return_tensors="pt")  
start_of_output = len(inputs.input_ids[0])

#   temperature: set at 0.3 for consistency of output
#   max_new_tokens:  set at 100 - may prematurely stop a few of the summaries

outputs = model.generate(
        inputs.input_ids.to(device),
        eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        do_sample=True,
        temperature=0.3,
        max_new_tokens=100,
        )

output_only = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][start_of_output:],skip_special_tokens=True)
