Llama3-ChatQA-2 is developed using an improved training recipe from [ChatQA-1.5 paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.10225), and it is built on top of [Llama-3 base model](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-70B). Specifically, we continued training of Llama-3 base models to extend the context window from 8K to 128K tokens, along with a three-stage instruction tuning process to enhance the model’s instruction-following, RAG performance, and long-context understanding capabilities. Llama3-ChatQA-2 has two variants: Llama3-ChatQA-2-8B and Llama3-ChatQA-2-70B. Both models were originally trained using [Megatron-LM](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM), we converted the checkpoints to Hugging Face format. **For more information about ChatQA 2, check the [website](https://chatqa2-project.github.io/)!** ## Other Resources [Llama3-ChatQA-2-8B](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Llama3-ChatQA-2-8B)   [Evaluation Data](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Llama3-ChatQA-2-70B/tree/main/data)   [Training Data](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/ChatQA2-Long-SFT-data)   [Website](https://chatqa2-project.github.io/)   [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.14482) ## Overview of Benchmark Results We evaluate ChatQA 2 on short-context RAG benchmark (ChatRAG) (within 4K tokens), long context tasks from SCROLLS and LongBench (within 32K tokens), and ultra-long context tasks from In- finiteBench (beyond 100K tokens). Results are shown below. ![Example Image](overview.png) Note that ChatQA-2 is built based on Llama-3 base model. ## Prompt Format **We highly recommend that you use the prompt format we provide, as follows:** ### when context is available 
System: {System}

{Context}

User: {Question}

Assistant: {Response}

User: {Question}

Assistant:
### when context is not available 
System: {System}

User: {Question}

Assistant: {Response}

User: {Question}

Assistant:
**The content of the system's turn (i.e., {System}) for both scenarios is as follows:** 
This is a chat between a user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions based on the context. The assistant should also indicate when the answer cannot be found in the context.
**Note that our ChatQA-2 models are optimized for the capability with context, e.g., over documents or retrieved context.** ## How to use ### take the whole document as context This can be applied to the scenario where the whole document can be fitted into the model, so that there is no need to run retrieval over the document. ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM import torch model_id = "nvidia/Llama3-ChatQA-2-8B" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto") messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "what is the percentage change of the net income from Q4 FY23 to Q4 FY24?"} ] document = """NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported revenue for the fourth quarter ended January 28, 2024, of $22.1 billion, up 22% from the previous quarter and up 265% from a year ago.\nFor the quarter, GAAP earnings per diluted share was $4.93, up 33% from the previous quarter and up 765% from a year ago.
