Old Preprint (arXiv)

Models

LLaMA

We publish variants of Llama 2 fine-tuned with YaRN at 32K, 64K and 128K context window length. They are available under the Llama 2 license on 🤗 Hugging Face.

In addition, we also publish 8K context window versions of Llama 2 7B fine-tuned with NTK-aware and YaRN (Table 1 in the conference paper).

Mistral

With the release of v2 of our paper we are also publishing 64K and 128K variants of Mistral 7B v0.1.

SOLAR

The SOLAR 10.7B v1.0 model utilizes depth-up scaling to add layers to Mistral 7B v0.1, which may potentially improve long context performance on a per-parameter basis. We publish 32K and 64K variants.

Reproduction

We strongly believe in open science, and thus publish all code and data to reproduce the results in our paper. To reproduce, clone the repository and perform a local installation.

git clone https://github.com/jquesnelle/yarn
cd yarn
pip install -e .

Training

To train the models, run accelerate config and enable DeepSpeed acceleration. deepspeed/zero3.json was the configuration file used for training.

# ./train.sh

The tokenized training data is available on 🤗Hugging Face and was derived from the pg19 dataset. For the Mistral models, a mix of the pretrain and fine-tune splits of Long-Data-Collections was used and the tokenized dataset is also available on 🤗Hugging Face.

Evaluation

To reproduce the evaluations, install lm-evaluation-harness with pip install git+https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness and then run the two provided scripts.

# ./eval.sh
# ./eval-harness.sh
