✨ Overview

Originally conceived as an experiment to test the effects of gradient clipping, this model was exceptionally well-received by early testers, prompting its official release.

Fine-tuned on top of Mistral-Nemo-Instruct (ChatML'ified), Rei-12B is designed to replicate the exquisite prose quality of Claude 3 models, particularly Sonnet and Opus, using a prototype Magnum V5 datamix.

⚙️ Training

Hparams

For Hparams for this model we experimented with Grad clipping otherwise known as max_grad_norm
Calculated via checking the model arch distribution's we divised 3 different values, knowing the weight distribution for Mistral is 0.1.

If you would consult the graph, you'd notice a few things, First and foremost is that setting gradient-clip too high can be deterimental to the model as the logs and testing show that the model was overfit, Meanwhile setting it too low can also cause problems as the 1e-4 run appears to be underfit, The best one was by far the 0.001 clip which resulted in non-overfit, non-underfit model.
