Mistral Releases Codestral-22B: Outperforms LLaMA 3 70B
By
–
Mistral has released a code-specific model! Codestral-22B seems to outperform LLaMA 3 70B while being more than 3x smaller. Very impressive!

LLaMa Reproducibility: Data Access Essential for Scientific Validation
By
–
Reproducing a benchmark is a minor managerial task. It's not even engineering. The scientific hypothesis of LLaMa models is: "If we overtrain the same model architecture on our data, it outperforms previous iteration." Without the data, LLaMa data the experiment is not repro.

NeuralDaredevil-8B Model Improvement Through DPO Training
By
–
There's still room for improvement: GSM8K suffered because it's underrepresented in my DPO dataset. More epochs would definitely help too. I find it super exciting and I'm curious to see how people will use it. NeuralDaredevil-8B:

Removing Meta Alignment from Daredevil-8B Model
By
–
But Daredevil-8B is still censored. Many people asked me for uncensored models, so I wanted to try something. I used @failspy
's abliteration notebook to remove Meta's alignment. Unfortunately, abliteration also slightly degrades performance: 1-2% on every benchmark. -

DPO Fine-Tuning Fixes Instruct Model Performance Effectively
By
–
I healed it using DPO fine-tuning. Unlike SFT, it doesn't lobotomize the Instruct model. I trained it for one epoch of orpo-dpo-mix-40k with an lr of 5e-6 and a sequence length of 2048 using Axolotl. This successfully fixed the model as you can see on the benchmarks.

Daredevil-8B: Mega-Merge Model Using DARE TIES
By
–
Daredevil-8B is a mega-merge composed of 9 models using DARE TIES. Like the original Daredevil-7B, the model recipe was designed to maximize the MMLU score. The model family tree is already quite wild. Daredevil-8B: https://
