# BLOOMChat V1.0

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

BLOOMChat is based on [BigScience Group BLOOM model](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom), and is instruction-tuned on a subset of 100k datapoints per data source from the [OIG dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/OIG) from the [OpenChatKit](https://www.together.xyz/blog/openchatkit). Then aligned using [Dolly 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k) and [Oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1).

## How to Get Started with the Model

<details>
<summary>Click to expand</summary>

Use the code below to get started with the model.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")
```


### Suggested Inference Parameters
- Temperature: 0.8
- Repetition penalty: 1.2
- Top-p: 0.9
- Max generated tokens: 512

### Suggested Prompts To Try
```
<human>: Write a script in which Bob accidentally breaks his dad's guitar
<bot>:
```

```
<human>: Classify the sentiment of the following sentence into Positive, Neutral, or Negative. Do it on a scale of 1/10: How about the following sentence: It is raining outside and I feel so blue
<bot>:
```

```
<human>: give a python code to open a http server in 8080 port using python 3.7
<bot>:
```

```
<human>: Answer the following question using the context below:
Q: Which regulatory body is invovled?
Context: U.S. authorities launched emergency measures on Sunday to shore up confidence in the banking system after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SIVB.O) threatened to trigger a broader financial crisis. After a dramatic weekend, regulators said the failed bank’s customers will have access to all their deposits starting Monday and set up a new facility to give banks access to emergency funds. The Federal Reserve also made it easier for banks to borrow from it in emergencies. While the measures provided some relief for Silicon Valley firms and global markets on Monday, worries about broader banking risks remain and have cast doubts over whether the Fed will stick with its plan for aggressive interest rate hikes.

## Some example completions

```
<human>: What does it mean for the Fed to raise or lower interest rates?
<bot>: The Federal Reserve (also known as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States.  It was created in 1913, and is an independent agency of the federal government.  The Fed has a dual mandate of maximizing employment and stabilizing prices.  The Fed sets interest rates, and can influence the money supply and the credit markets through its actions.

Raising interest rates means that the Fed is trying to reduce the money supply in the economy, and is trying to discourage borrowing and encourage saving.  Lowering interest rates means that the Fed is trying to stimulate economic growth by encouraging borrowing and reducing the cost of credit.

The Fed raises or lowers interest rates in order to influence the economy and achieve its goals for employment and price stability.  Interest rates are one of the primary tools that the Fed uses to achieve its goals.

<human>: Generate a table summarizing the options outlined in this email. 

Team, we have to make a decision on the product plan for Goocrux v2. 

The first option will take us 3 weeks of development, and will achieve performance of 80ms, but means that the UI has to change. 

The second option will take us 4 weeks of development, and will achieve performance of 60ms, without any UI change. 

The third option will take the longest -- 6 weeks of development, will achieve performance of 30ms, without any UI change. 

# Table with four columns: (1) Option ID, (2) Development time, (3) Performance, (4) Require UI Change
<bot>: Option ID	Development time	Performance	Require UI Change
Option 1	3 weeks	80ms	Yes
Option 2	4 weeks	60ms	No
Option 3	6 weeks	30ms	No
```
```
<human>: Explain the difference between a proton and a neutron
<bot>: A proton and a neutron are both subatomic particles, but they differ in several ways:

Mass: A proton has a mass of approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms, while a neutron has a mass of approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms.

Charge: A proton has a positive charge, while a neutron has no charge.

Spinning: Protons and neutrons both have a spinning motion called intrinsic spin, but the direction of their spin is opposite to each other.

Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms, while neutrons are found in the nucleus of atoms.
In the nucleus of atoms, protons and neutrons are bound together in a structure called a nucleus, which gives the atom its stability.

### Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

- [OIG dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/OIG)
- [Dolly 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k)
- [Oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1)

### Training Procedure 

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

We trained BLOOMChat with SambaStudio, a platform built on SambaNova's in-house Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU). We started from [BLOOM](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom), an OSS multilingual 176B GPT model pretrained by the [BigScience group](https://huggingface.co/bigscience). There was also some preprocessing done on the training datasets.

### Prompting Style Used For Training
```
<human>: {input that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: 
```

```
<human>: {fewshot1 input}
<bot>: {fewshot1 response}
<human>: {fewshot2 input}
<bot>: {fewshot2 response}
<human>: {input that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: 
```

### Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Like all LLMs, BLOOMChat has certain limitations:
- Hallucination: BLOOMChat may sometimes generate responses that contain plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or irrelevant information.
- Code Switching: The model might unintentionally switch between languages or dialects within a single response, affecting the coherence and understandability of the output.
- Repetition: BLOOMChat may produce repetitive phrases or sentences, leading to less engaging and informative responses.
- Coding and Math: The model's performance in generating accurate code or solving complex mathematical problems may be limited.
- Toxicity: BLOOMChat may inadvertently generate responses containing inappropriate or harmful content.

### Misuse and Malicious Use

BLOOMChat is designed for use in chatbot applications and should not be used for any other purpose. Misuse of the model, such as using it to engage in illegal or unethical activities, is strictly prohibited and goes against the principles of the BLOOMChat community project.

Using the model to generate content that is cruel to individuals is a misuse of this model. This includes, but is not limited to:

- Generating fake news, misinformation, or propaganda
- Promoting hate speech, discrimination, or violence against individuals or groups
- Impersonating individuals or organizations without their consent
- Engaging in cyberbullying or harassment
- Defamatory content
- Spamming or scamming
- Sharing confidential or sensitive information without proper authorization
- Violating the terms of use of the model or the data used to train it
- Creating automated bots for malicious purposes such as spreading malware, phishing scams, or spamming
