# NeuralHermes 2.5 - Mistral 7B

NeuralHermes is based on the [teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B](https://huggingface.co/teknium/OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B) model that has been further fine-tuned with Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) using the [mlabonne/chatml_dpo_pairs](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mlabonne/chatml_dpo_pairs) dataset. It surpasses the original model on most benchmarks (see results).

It is directly inspired by the RLHF process described by [Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-1](https://huggingface.co/Intel/neural-chat-7b-v3-1)'s authors to improve performance. I used the same dataset and reformatted it to apply the ChatML template.

The code to train this model is available on [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/15iFBr1xWgztXvhrj5I9fBv20c7CFOPBE?usp=sharing) and [GitHub](https://github.com/mlabonne/llm-course/tree/main). It required an A100 GPU for about an hour.

## Results

**Update:** NeuralHermes-2.5 became the best Hermes-based model on the Open LLM leaderboard and one of the very best 7b models. 🎉

Teknium (author of OpenHermes-2.5-Mistral-7B) benchmarked the model ([see his tweet](https://twitter.com/Teknium1/status/1729955709377503660)).

Results are improved on every benchmark: **AGIEval** (from 43.07% to 43.62%), **GPT4All** (from 73.12% to 73.25%), and **TruthfulQA**.

## Usage

You can run this model using [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai/) or any other frontend.

You can also run this model using the following code:

```python
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

# Format prompt
message = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant chatbot."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is a Large Language Model?"}
]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(new_model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(message, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)

# Create pipeline
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=new_model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer
)

# Generate text
sequences = pipeline(
    prompt,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.9,
    num_return_sequences=1,
    max_length=200,
)
print(sequences[0]['generated_text'])
```
