There’s conditioning from the dialog syntax that it’s being naively given in the same format that the instruct-tuned version receives. It’s seen these in pre-training, but the association isn’t strong enough apparently to make it act like a chatbot even most of the time.

Example contrasting base LLMs and RLHF-tuned models
By
–
I tried to write a prompt to show how base LLMs differ from the RLHF-tuned ones everyone knows, and I think this gives a bit of the flavor. A message from Llama 3.1 405B (base), on whether it’s useful to talk to base LLMs:

Discussion on RLHF vs post-training model comparisons
By
–
You’re not comparing RLHF to no RLHF here, you’re comparing different generations post-RLHF mystery models, likely of different sizes. If you don’t do post-training at all, naive attempts to talk to the model go like this:

FOXY Method: Self-Improving Agents Design Pattern
By

I'm starting to see some more projects and research around self-improving agents, so thought I'd reshare this design pattern I introduced last year. The "FOXY method" tracks output, generates a reflection, and feeds the most relevant ones when running future objectives, to help
