What is Yi?
Introduction
🤖 The Yi series models are the next generation of open-source large language models trained from scratch by 01.AI.
🙌 Targeted as a bilingual language model and trained on 3T multilingual corpus, the Yi series models become one of the strongest LLM worldwide, showing promise in language understanding, commonsense reasoning, reading comprehension, and more. For example,
Yi-34B-Chat model landed in second place (following GPT-4 Turbo), outperforming other LLMs (such as GPT-4, Mixtral, Claude) on the AlpacaEval Leaderboard (based on data available up to January 2024).
Yi-34B model ranked first among all existing open-source models (such as Falcon-180B, Llama-70B, Claude) in both English and Chinese on various benchmarks, including Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard (pre-trained) and C-Eval (based on data available up to November 2023).
🙏 (Credits to Llama) Thanks to the Transformer and Llama open-source communities, as they reduce the efforts required to build from scratch and enable the utilization of the same tools within the AI ecosystem.
If you're interested in Yi's adoption of Llama architecture and license usage policy, see Yi's relation with Llama. ⬇️
💡 TL;DR
The Yi series models adopt the same model architecture as Llama but are NOT derivatives of Llama.
Both Yi and Llama are all based on the Transformer structure, which has been the standard architecture for large language models since 2018.
Grounded in the Transformer architecture, Llama has become a new cornerstone for the majority of state-of-the-art open-source models due to its excellent stability, reliable convergence, and robust compatibility. This positions Llama as the recognized foundational framework for models including Yi.
Thanks to the Transformer and Llama architectures, other models can leverage their power, reducing the effort required to build from scratch and enabling the utilization of the same tools within their ecosystems.
However, the Yi series models are NOT derivatives of Llama, as they do not use Llama's weights.
As Llama's structure is employed by the majority of open-source models, the key factors of determining model performance are training datasets, training pipelines, and training infrastructure.
Developing in a unique and proprietary way, Yi has independently created its own high-quality training datasets, efficient training pipelines, and robust training infrastructure entirely from the ground up. This effort has led to excellent performance with Yi series models ranking just behind GPT4 and surpassing Llama on the Alpaca Leaderboard in Dec 2023.

For chat models
For chat model limitations, see the explanations below. ⬇️
- Hallucination: This refers to the model generating factually incorrect or nonsensical information. With the model's responses being more varied, there's a higher chance of hallucination that are not based on accurate data or logical reasoning.
- Non-determinism in re-generation: When attempting to regenerate or sample responses, inconsistencies in the outcomes may occur. The increased diversity can lead to varying results even under similar input conditions.
- Cumulative Error: This occurs when errors in the model's responses compound over time. As the model generates more diverse responses, the likelihood of small inaccuracies building up into larger errors increases, especially in complex tasks like extended reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, etc.
- To achieve more coherent and consistent responses, it is advisable to adjust generation configuration parameters such as temperature, top_p, or top_k. These adjustments can help in the balance between creativity and coherence in the model's outputs.
The released chat model has undergone exclusive training using Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). Compared to other standard chat models, our model produces more diverse responses, making it suitable for various downstream tasks, such as creative scenarios. Furthermore, this diversity is expected to enhance the likelihood of generating higher quality responses, which will be advantageous for subsequent Reinforcement Learning (RL) training.
However, this higher diversity might amplify certain existing issues, including:

bash finetune/scripts/run_eval.sh
For advanced usage (like fine-tuning based on your custom data), see the explanations below. ⬇️
Finetune code for Yi 6B and 34B
Preparation
From Image
By default, we use a small dataset from BAAI/COIG to finetune the base model.
You can also prepare your customized dataset in the following jsonl format:
{ "prompt": "Human: Who are you? Assistant:", "chosen": "I'm Yi." }
And then mount them in the container to replace the default ones:
docker run -it \
-v /path/to/save/finetuned/model/:/finetuned-model \
-v /path/to/train.jsonl:/yi/finetune/data/train.json \
-v /path/to/eval.jsonl:/yi/finetune/data/eval.json \
ghcr.io/01-ai/yi:latest \
bash finetune/scripts/run_sft_Yi_6b.sh
From Local Server
Make sure you have conda. If not, use
mkdir -p ~/miniconda3
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
bash ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh -b -u -p ~/miniconda3
rm -rf ~/miniconda3/miniconda.sh
~/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
source ~/.bashrc
Then, create a conda env:
conda create -n dev_env python=3.10 -y
conda activate dev_env
pip install torch==2.0.1 deepspeed==0.10 tensorboard transformers datasets sentencepiece accelerate ray==2.7
Hardware Setup
For the Yi-6B model, a node with 4 GPUs, each has GPU mem larger than 60GB is recommended.
For the Yi-34B model, because the usage of zero-offload technique takes a lot CPU memory, please be careful to limit the GPU numbers in 34B finetune training. Please use CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to limit the GPU number (as shown in scripts/run_sft_Yi_34b.sh).
A typical hardware setup for finetuning 34B model is a node with 8GPUS (limit to 4 in running by CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3), each has GPU mem larger than 80GB, with total CPU mem larger than 900GB.
Quick Start
Download a LLM-base model to MODEL_PATH (6B and 34B). A typical folder of models is like:
|-- $MODEL_PATH
| |-- config.json
| |-- pytorch_model-00001-of-00002.bin
| |-- pytorch_model-00002-of-00002.bin
| |-- pytorch_model.bin.index.json
| |-- tokenizer_config.json
| |-- tokenizer.model
| |-- ...
Download a dataset from huggingface to local storage DATA_PATH, e.g. Dahoas/rm-static.
|-- $DATA_PATH
| |-- data
| | |-- train-00000-of-00001-2a1df75c6bce91ab.parquet
| | |-- test-00000-of-00001-8c7c51afc6d45980.parquet
| |-- dataset_infos.json
| |-- README.md
finetune/yi_example_dataset has example datasets, which are modified from BAAI/COIG
|-- $DATA_PATH
|--data
|-- train.jsonl
|-- eval.jsonl
cd into the scripts folder, copy and paste the script, and run. For example:
cd finetune/scripts
bash run_sft_Yi_6b.sh
For the Yi-6B base model, setting training_debug_steps=20 and num_train_epochs=4 can output a chat model, which takes about 20 minutes.
For the Yi-34B base model, it takes a relatively long time for initialization. Please be patient.
Evaluation
cd finetune/scripts
bash run_eval.sh
Then you'll see the answer from both the base model and the finetuned model.

Benchmarks
Chat model performance
Yi-34B-Chat model demonstrates exceptional performance, ranking first among all existing open-source models in the benchmarks including MMLU, CMMLU, BBH, GSM8k, and more.
Evaluation methods and challenges. ⬇️
- Evaluation methods: we evaluated various benchmarks using both zero-shot and few-shot methods, except for TruthfulQA.
- Zero-shot vs. few-shot: in chat models, the zero-shot approach is more commonly employed.
- Evaluation strategy: our evaluation strategy involves generating responses while following instructions explicitly or implicitly (such as using few-shot examples). We then isolate relevant answers from the generated text.
- Challenges faced: some models are not well-suited to produce output in the specific format required by instructions in few datasets, which leads to suboptimal results.
*: C-Eval results are evaluated on the validation datasets
Base model performance
Yi-34B and Yi-34B-200K
The Yi-34B and Yi-34B-200K models stand out as the top performers among open-source models, especially excelling in MMLU, CMMLU, common-sense reasoning, reading comprehension, and more.
Evaluation methods. ⬇️
- Disparity in results: while benchmarking open-source models, a disparity has been noted between results from our pipeline and those reported by public sources like OpenCompass.
- Investigation findings: a deeper investigation reveals that variations in prompts, post-processing strategies, and sampling techniques across models may lead to significant outcome differences.
- Uniform benchmarking process: our methodology aligns with the original benchmarks—consistent prompts and post-processing strategies are used, and greedy decoding is applied during evaluations without any post-processing for the generated content.
- Efforts to retrieve unreported scores: for scores that were not reported by the original authors (including scores reported with different settings), we try to get results with our pipeline.
- Extensive model evaluation: to evaluate the model’s capability extensively, we adopted the methodology outlined in Llama2. Specifically, we included PIQA, SIQA, HellaSwag, WinoGrande, ARC, OBQA, and CSQA to assess common sense reasoning. SquAD, QuAC, and BoolQ were incorporated to evaluate reading comprehension.
- Special configurations: CSQA was exclusively tested using a 7-shot setup, while all other tests were conducted with a 0-shot configuration. Additionally, we introduced GSM8K (8-shot@1), MATH (4-shot@1), HumanEval (0-shot@1), and MBPP (3-shot@1) under the category "Math & Code".
- Falcon-180B caveat: Falcon-180B was not tested on QuAC and OBQA due to technical constraints. Its performance score is an average from other tasks, and considering the generally lower scores of these two tasks, Falcon-180B's capabilities are likely not underestimated.
Yi-9B
Yi-9B is almost the best among a range of similar-sized open-source models (including Mistral-7B, SOLAR-10.7B, Gemma-7B, DeepSeek-Coder-7B-Base-v1.5 and more), particularly excelling in code, math, common-sense reasoning, and reading comprehension.
- In terms of overall ability (Mean-All), Yi-9B performs the best among similarly sized open-source models, surpassing DeepSeek-Coder, DeepSeek-Math, Mistral-7B, SOLAR-10.7B, and Gemma-7B.
- In terms of coding ability (Mean-Code), Yi-9B's performance is second only to DeepSeek-Coder-7B, surpassing Yi-34B, SOLAR-10.7B, Mistral-7B, and Gemma-7B.
- In terms of math ability (Mean-Math), Yi-9B's performance is second only to DeepSeek-Math-7B, surpassing SOLAR-10.7B, Mistral-7B, and Gemma-7B.
- In terms of common sense and reasoning ability (Mean-Text), Yi-9B's performance is on par with Mistral-7B, SOLAR-10.7B, and Gemma-7B.
