shisa-v2 Base Model ablation

Per the Llama 3 Community License Agreement, the official name of this model is "Llama 3 shisa-v1-llama3-70b"

This is a fine-tune Llama 3 70B Instruct with the primary shisa-v1 dataset to improve Japanese language capabilities.

This model uses a LR of 8e-6 that slightly improves performance vs the initial 2e-5 tune (based on and validating predictive power of the the results of the Llama 3 8B LR ablations).

It also uses NEFTune, although the expected impact is neglible for this dataset.

While the 2e-5 model matched gpt-3.5-turbo performance, this 2e-6 version consistently edges it out, so I think it's fair to say that this model "beats" it.

While this is merely a test ablation on the road to shisa-v2, as of its release (mid-May 2024), it's the strongest commercially-usable open JA model benchmarked so far, so this model may be of general interest.

Performance

Measured using a fork of Lightblue's Shaberi benchmark framework:
