What is oasst-sft-1-pythia-12b?
OASST-SFT-1-Pythia-12B is the first iteration of Open-Assistant's supervised fine-tuned language model, built on the Pythia 12B architecture. This model represents a significant milestone in open-source AI development, having been fine-tuned on approximately 22,000 human demonstrations of assistant conversations collected through the open-assistant.io platform before March 7, 2023.
Implementation Details
The model implements a sophisticated token-based conversation structure using special tokens like '<|prompter|>' and '<|assistant|>' to denote different speakers in the conversation, with '<|endoftext|>' marking the end of each turn. This architecture enables clean conversation handling and response generation.
