What is Pythia-Chat-Base-7B?
Pythia-Chat-Base-7B is an advanced language model specifically fine-tuned for dialogue-style interactions. Based on EleutherAI's Pythia-7B architecture, it has been extensively trained on over 40 million high-quality instructions through a collaboration between Together Computer, LAION, and Ontocord.ai. The model stands out for its efficient implementation, capable of running on consumer-grade hardware through intelligent quantization techniques.
Implementation Details
The model was trained using 8 A100 GPUs with 8bit-AdamW optimizer, employing gradient accumulations of 4 and a batch size structured as 4 x 4 x 16 x 2048 tokens. The training process utilized a warmup to 1e-5 learning rate for 100 steps, maintained constant thereafter. Notable is its ability to run inference in different configurations: full precision on 24GB GPUs, int8 quantization on 12GB GPUs, and CPU inference support.
