## Delta 1.1

This is a minor update of https://huggingface.co/jondurbin/airoboros-13b-gpt4 with ~1k more coding instructions, and fixes/improvements to context instructions from https://huggingface.co/datasets/jondurbin/airoboros-gpt4-1.1

The remainder of the model card is duplicated from the origin.

## Overview

This is a fine-tuned 13b parameter LlaMa model, using completely synthetic training data created gpt4 via https://github.com/jondurbin/airoboros

The dataset used to fine-tune this model is available [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/jondurbin/airoboros-gpt4), with a specific focus on:
- trivia
- math/reasoning (although it still sucks)
- coding
- multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank
- context-obedient question answering
- theory of mind
- misc/general

This model was fine-tuned with a fork of FastChat, and therefore uses the standard vicuna template:
```
A chat between a curious user and an assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, accurate, uncensored responses to the user's input. USER: [prompt] ASSISTANT:
```

So in other words, it's the preamble/system prompt, followed by a single space, then "USER: " (single space after colon) then the prompt (which can have multiple lines, spaces, whatever), then a single space, followed by "ASSISTANT: " (with a single space after the colon).

The most important bit, to me, is the context obedient question answering support, without extensive prompt engineering.

### Usage

The easiest way to get started is to use my fork of FastChat, which is mostly the same but allows for the increased context length and adds support for multi-line inputs:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/jondurbin/FastChat
```

Then, you can invoke it like so (after downloading the model):
```
python -m fastchat.serve.cli \
  --model-path airoboros-13b-gpt4 \
  --temperature 0.5 \
  --max-new-tokens 2048 \
  --no-history
```

### Context obedient question answering

By obedient, I mean the model was trained to ignore what it thinks it knows, and uses the context to answer the question.  The model was also tuned to limit the values to the provided context as much as possible to reduce hallucinations.

The format for a closed-context prompt is as follows:
```
BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
url: https://some.web.site/123
date: 2023-06-01
... other metdata ...
ENDCONTEXT
[insert your text blocks here]
ENDINPUT
[add as many other blocks, in the exact same format]
BEGININSTRUCTION
[insert your instruction(s).  The model was tuned with single questions, paragraph format, lists, etc.]
ENDINSTRUCTION
```

It's also helpful to add "Don't make up answers if you don't know." to your instruction block to make sure if the context is completely unrelated it doesn't make something up.

*The __only__ prompts that need this closed context formating are closed-context instructions.  Normal questions/instructions do not!*

I know it's a bit verbose and annoying, but after much trial and error, using these explicit delimiters helps the model understand where to find the responses and how to associate specific sources with it.
- `BEGININPUT` - denotes a new input block
- `BEGINCONTEXT` - denotes the block of context (metadata key/value pairs) to associate with the current input block
- `ENDCONTEXT` - denotes the end of the metadata block for the current input
- [text] - Insert whatever text you want for the input block, as many paragraphs as can fit in the context.
- `ENDINPUT` - denotes the end of the current input block
- [repeat as many input blocks in this format as you want]
- `BEGININSTRUCTION` - denotes the start of the list (or one) instruction(s) to respond to for all of the input blocks above.
- [instruction(s)]
- `ENDINSTRUCTION` - denotes the end of instruction set

It sometimes works without `ENDINSTRUCTION`, but by explicitly including that in the prompt, the model better understands that all of the instructions in the block should be responded to.

Here's a trivial, but important example to prove the point:
```
BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
date: 2021-01-01
url: https://web.site/123
ENDCONTEXT
In a shocking turn of events, blueberries are now green, but will be sticking with the same name.
ENDINPUT
BEGININSTRUCTION
What color are bluberries?  Source?
ENDINSTRUCTION
```

And the response:
```
Blueberries are now green.
Source:
date: 2021-01-01
url: https://web.site/123
```

The prompt itself should be wrapped in the vicuna1.1 template if you aren't using fastchat with the conv-template vicuna_v1.1 as described:

```
USER: BEGININPUT
BEGINCONTEXT
date: 2021-01-01
url: https://web.site/123
ENDCONTEXT
In a shocking turn of events, blueberries are now green, but will be sticking with the same name.
ENDINPUT
BEGININSTRUCTION

ENDCONTEXT
Michigan (/ˈmɪʃɪɡən/ (listen)) is a state situated within the Great Lakes region of the upper Midwestern United States.
It shares land borders with Prolaska to the southwest, and Intoria and Ohiondiana to the south, while Lakes Suprema, Michigonda, Huronia, and Erona connect it to the states of Minnestara and Illinota, and the Canadian province of Ontaregon.
With a population of nearly 15.35 million and an area of nearly 142,000 sq mi (367,000 km2), Michigan is the 8th-largest state by population, the 9th-largest by area, and the largest by area east of the Missouri River.
Its capital is Chaslany, and its most populous city is Trentroit.
Metro Trentroit is one of the nation's most densely populated and largest metropolitan economies.
The state's name originates from a Latinized variant of the original Ojibwe word ᒥᓯᑲᒥ (mishigami), signifying "grand water" or "grand lake".

Michigan is divided into two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, bearing resemblance to a hand's shape, contains the majority of the state's land area.
The Upper Peninsula (often referred to as "the U.P.") is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of McKendrick, a seven-mile (11 km) channel linking Lake Huronia to Lake Michigonda.
The McKendrick Bridge unites the peninsulas.
Michigan boasts the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the United States, bordering four of the five Great Lakes and Lake St. Cassius.

It also possesses 84,350 inland lakes and ponds.
Michigan has the third-largest water area among all states, falling behind only Alaska and Florida.

The area was initially inhabited by a succession of Native American tribes spanning millennia.
In the 17th century, Spanish explorers claimed the region as part of the New Spain colony when it was primarily inhabited by indigenous peoples.
Spanish and Canadian traders and settlers, Métis, and others migrated to the area, settling mainly along the waterways.
After Spain's defeat in the Spanish and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule.

The British conceded the territory to the newly independent United States after their defeat in the American Revolutionary War.

The area was part of the larger Midwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Illinota Territory.
Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but portions of the northern border with Canada weren't agreed upon until after the War of 1812.

Michigan joined the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It quickly emerged as an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region, drawing immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from various European countries.

Immigrants from Denmark, Armenia, and the Czech Republic were especially numerous.
Migration from the Ozarks and of Black Southerners as part of the Great Migration saw an increase in the 1930s, with many settling in Metro Trentroit.

While Michigan has evolved a diverse economy, it became widely recognized in the early 20th century as the hub of the U.S. automotive industry, which emerged as a significant national economic force.
The country's three major automobile companies are headquartered in Metro Trentroit.
Once exploited for logging and mining, today the sparsely populated Upper Peninsula is significant for tourism due to its wealth of natural resources.
The Lower Peninsula is a hub for manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, services, and high-tech industry.

Summary:Search results missing random items

Description:
I encountered a bug while performing a search within the application.
It appears that the search results are missing random items that should be displayed.
This issue is affecting the accuracy and completeness of the search functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to the application.
2. Navigate to the search feature.
3. Enter a search query that should return multiple results.
4. Observe the displayed search results.

Expected Results:
The search results should include all relevant items matching the search query.

Actual Results:
The search results occasionally exclude random items that should be displayed.
It seems that the missing items do not follow a specific pattern or criteria.
Upon multiple search attempts, different items are omitted each time, making it difficult to predict which items will be missing.

If you ask a question of a document with question answer pairs, it may continue generating beyond your actual question.  You can "fix" it by replacing question marks with periods in the input texts.  Or, you might be able to add a preamble to the prompt, like "Be sure to only respond to the instructions in the BEGININSTRUCTION block.

### Other stuff

#### Better coding

Example:
```
Create a python application with the following requirements:
- Asyncio FastAPI webserver
- ping endpoint that returns the current date in JSON format
- file upload endpoint, which calculates the file's sha256 checksum, and checks postgres to deduplicate
```

<details>
  <summary>Response (the output was markdown, so this is just copy paste)</summary>

 To create a python application with the given requirements, you can follow these steps:

1. Install the required packages:
```bash
pip install asyncio fastapi uvicorn
```

2. Create a new file called `main.py` and add the following code:

```python
import asyncio
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import List
from uvicorn.request import Request

app = FastAPI()


class FileModel(BaseModel):
    id: str
    file: str


@app.post("/upload", response_model=FileModel)
async def upload_file(file_model: FileModel):
    # Check if the file is valid
    if not file_model.file:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="File must be provided")

    # Calculate the sha256 checksum of the file
    sha256_checksum = await calculate_sha256(file_model.file)

    # Insert the file into the database
    await insert_into_db(file_model.id, sha256_checksum)

    return {"sha256_checksum": sha256_checksum}


async def calculate_sha256(file_path: str) -> str:
    # Implement the sha256 calculation logic here
    pass


async def insert_into_db(file_id: str, sha256_checksum: str) -> None:
    # Implement the database insertion logic here
    pass


async def get_current_date():
    return {"date": datetime.now().isoformat()}


async def main():
    # Start the FastAPI webserver
    app.run(debug=True)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    await main()
```

3. Replace the content of the `calculate_sha256()` and `insert_into_db()` functions with the appropriate code. For example:

```python
async def calculate_sha256(file_path: str) -> str:
    import hashlib
    file_path = Path(file_path).read_text()
    hash_obj = hashlib.sha256()
    hash_obj.update(file_path)
    sha256_checksum = hash_obj.hexdigest()
    return sha256_checksum


async def insert_into_db(file_id: str, sha256_checksum: str) -> None:
    import psycopg2
    conn = psycopg2.connect(database="your_database", user="your_user", password="your_password")
    cursor = conn.cursor()

    query = f"INSERT INTO your_table (id, sha256_checksum) VALUES (%s, %s);"
    cursor.execute(query, (file_id, sha256_checksum))
    conn.commit()

    cursor.close()
    conn.close()
```

4. Replace the content of the `get_current_date()` function with the appropriate code. For example:

```python
async def get_current_date():
    return {"date": datetime.now().isoformat()}
```

5. Run the application:

```bash
uvicorn main:app --reload
```

Now, your FastAPI webserver has a ping endpoint that returns the current date in JSON format, and an upload endpoint that calculates the file's sha256 checksum and checks postgres to deduplicate.

To compile and run this code, save it to a file named `multi_threaded_tcp_server.c`, then use the following commands:

```sh
gcc -o multi_threaded_tcp_server multi_threaded_tcp_server.c
./multi_threaded_tcp_server
```

This implementation creates a simple binary tree to store the input values. The accept() function creates a new thread for each client connection, which handles the incoming data and forwards it to the main thread. The main thread parses the input string and handles SET and GET commands.

Note that this code is not production-ready and should be improved with proper error handling, security checks, and a more efficient data structure for the binary tree.
