It takes input with context length up to 4,096 tokens. The model has been aligned using the SteerLM method developed by NVIDIA to allow for user control of model outputs (in creativity, complexity and verbosity) during inference while having simplified training compared to RLHF techniques. Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat reaches **7.54** on MT Bench, the highest among **commercial-use-friendly** models trained on open-source datasets based on [MT Bench Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboard) as of 15 Nov 2023.

It includes training and inferencing frameworks, guardrailing toolkits, data curation tools, and pretrained models, offering enterprises an easy, cost-effective, and fast way to adopt generative AI. You can train the model using [NeMo Aligner](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Aligner) following [SteerLM training user guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo-framework/user-guide/latest/modelalignment/steerlm.html) or run inference based on steps below. ## Model Architecture: **Architecture Type:** Transformer **Network Architecture:** Llama 2 The SteerLM method involves the following key steps: 1. Train an attribute prediction model on human annotated data to evaluate response quality. 2. Use this model to annotate diverse datasets and enrich training data. 3. Perform conditioned fine-tuning to align responses with specified combinations of attributes. Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat applies this technique on top of the Llama 2 70B Foundational model architecture. It was pretrained on internet-scale data and then aligned using [Open Assistant](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1) and [HelpSteer](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/HelpSteer). ## Software Integration: **Runtime Engine(s):** NVIDIA AI Enterprise **Toolkit:** NeMo Framework **Supported Hardware Architecture Compatibility:** H100, A100 80GB, A100 40GB ## Steps to run inference: We demonstrate inference using NVIDIA NeMo Framework, which allows hassle-free model deployment based on [NVIDIA TRT-LLM](https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM), a highly optimized inference solution focussing on high throughput and low latency. Pre-requisite: You would need at least a machine with 4 40GB or 2 80GB NVIDIA GPUs, and 300GB of free disk space. 1. Please sign up to get **free and immediate** access to [NVIDIA NeMo Framework container](https://developer.nvidia.com/nemo-framework). If you don’t have an NVIDIA NGC account, you will be prompted to sign up for an account before proceeding. 2. If you don’t have an NVIDIA NGC API key, sign into [NVIDIA NGC](https://ngc.nvidia.com/setup), selecting organization/team: ea-bignlp/ga-participants and click Generate API key. Save this key for the next step. Else, skip this step. 3. On your machine, docker login to nvcr.io using ``` docker login nvcr.io Username: $oauthtoken Password: ``` 4. Download the required container ``` docker pull nvcr.io/ea-bignlp/ga-participants/nemofw-inference:23.10 ``` 5. Download the checkpoint ``` git lfs install git clone https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat ``` 6. Convert checkpoint into nemo format ``` cd Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat/Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat tar -cvf Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat.nemo . mv Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat.nemo ../ cd .. rm -r Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat ``` 7. Run Docker container ``` docker run --gpus all -it --rm --shm-size=300g -p 8000:8000 -v ${PWD}/Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat.nemo:/opt/checkpoints/Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat.nemo -w /opt/NeMo nvcr.io/ea-bignlp/ga-participants/nemofw-inference:23.10 ``` 8. Within the container, start the server in the background. This step does both conversion of the nemo checkpoint to TRT-LLM and then deployment using TRT-LLM. For an explanation of each argument and advanced usage, please refer to [NeMo FW Deployment Guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo-framework/user-guide/latest/deployingthenemoframeworkmodel.html) ``` python scripts/deploy/deploy_triton.py --nemo_checkpoint /opt/checkpoints/Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat.nemo --model_type="llama" --triton_model_name Llama2-70B-SteerLM-Chat --triton_http_address 0.0.0.0 --triton_port 8000 --num_gpus 2 --max_input_len 3072 --max_output_len 1024 --max_batch_size 1 & ``` 9.

Ethical use: Technology can have a profound impact on people and the world, and NVIDIA is committed to enabling trust and transparency in AI development. NVIDIA encourages users to adopt principles of AI ethics and trustworthiness to guide your business decisions by following the guidelines in the Llama 2 Community License Agreement. ## Limitations The model was trained on the data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the Internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive. We recommend deploying the model with [NeMo Guardrails](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Guardrails) to mitigate these potential issues. ## Contact E-Mail: [Zhilin Wang](mailto:zhilinw@nvidia.com) ## Citation If you find this model useful, please cite the following works ```bibtex @misc{wang2023helpsteer, title={HelpSteer: Multi-attribute Helpfulness Dataset for SteerLM}, author={Zhilin Wang and Yi Dong and Jiaqi Zeng and Virginia Adams and Makesh Narsimhan Sreedhar and Daniel Egert and Olivier Delalleau and Jane Polak Scowcroft and Neel Kant and Aidan Swope and Oleksii Kuchaiev}, year={2023}, eprint={2311.09528}, archivePrefix={arXiv}, primaryClass={cs.CL} } ``` ```bibtex @misc{dong2023steerlm, title={SteerLM: Attribute Conditioned SFT as an (User-Steerable) Alternative to RLHF}, author={Yi Dong and Zhilin Wang and Makesh Narsimhan Sreedhar and Xianchao Wu and Oleksii Kuchaiev}, year={2023}, eprint={2310.05344}, archivePrefix={arXiv}, primaryClass={cs.CL} } ```
