Hercules-2.0-Mistral-7B: Specialized Instruction Following and Function Calling

Hercules-2.0-Mistral-7B is a fine-tuned language model based on Mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1, developed by Locutusque. It is specifically engineered for superior performance in instruction following, function calls, and engaging in detailed conversations across various scientific and technical disciplines. The model's training dataset, Hercules-v2.0, builds upon OpenHermes-2.5 with additional curated data, enabling it to handle complex instructions and specialized terminology effectively.

Key Capabilities

• Complex Instruction Following: Accurately executes multi-step instructions, including those with specialized scientific and technical vocabulary.
• Function Calling: Interprets and executes function calls seamlessly, managing appropriate input and output values.
• Domain-Specific Knowledge: Facilitates informative discussions in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Medicine, Computer Science, and other technical areas.
• Performance: Achieved an average score of 62.69 on the Open LLM Leaderboard, outperforming OpenHermes-2.5 and OpenChat-3.5, despite being trained on significantly less data (100,000 rows).

Ideal Use Cases

• Specialized Chatbots: Developing knowledgeable conversational agents for scientific and technical fields.
• Instructional Assistants: Providing step-by-step guidance and educational support in various disciplines.
• Code Generation and Execution: Assisting in software development and prototyping through function call facilitation.
