# Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

bling-phi-1_5b-v0 is part of the BLING ("Best Little Instruct No GPU required") model series, RAG-instruct trained on top of a Microsoft Phi-1.5B base model.

BLING models are fine-tuned with high-quality custom instruct datasets, designed for rapid protyping in RAG scenarios.  

**Please note that use of this model is subject to the [Microsoft Research License](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/phi-1_5/blob/main/Research%20License.docx) - and may not be used for any commercial purpose.  We are providing our fine-tuned version, including the benchmarking results, solely for purpose of research and advancing insights on the performance of smaller models in RAG scenarios - it provides another point of comparison with other similarly sized and similarly finetuned BLING models.**  

For models with comparable performance and open source licenses that permit commercial use cases in RAG deployments, please see:

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

The intended use of BLING models is two-fold:

1.  Provide high-quality RAG-Instruct models designed for fact-based, no "hallucination" question-answering in connection with an enterprise RAG workflow.

2.  BLING models are fine-tuned on top of leading base foundation models, generally in the 1-3B+ range, and purposefully rolled-out across multiple base models to provide choices and "drop-in" replacements for RAG specific use cases.


### Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

BLING is designed for enterprise automation use cases, especially in knowledge-intensive industries, such as financial services,
legal and regulatory industries with complex information sources.  

BLING models have been trained for common RAG scenarios, specifically:   question-answering, key-value extraction, and basic summarization as the core instruction types
without the need for a lot of complex instruction verbiage - provide a text passage context, ask questions, and get clear fact-based responses.


## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Any model can provide inaccurate or incomplete information, and should be used in conjunction with appropriate safeguards and fact-checking mechanisms.


## How to Get Started with the Model

The fastest way to get started with dRAGon is through direct import in transformers:

    from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM  
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bling-phi-1_5b-v0", trust_remote_code=True)  
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("bling-phi-1_5b-v0", trust_remote_code=True)  

Please refer to the generation_test .py files in the Files repository, which includes 200 samples and script to test the model.  The **generation_test_llmware_script.py** includes built-in llmware capabilities for fact-checking, as well as easy integration with document parsing and actual retrieval to swap out the test set for RAG workflow consisting of business documents.  

The BLING model was fine-tuned with a simple "\<human> and \<bot> wrapper", so to get the best results, wrap inference entries as:

    full_prompt = "<human>: " + my_prompt + "\n" + "<bot>:"

The BLING model was fine-tuned with closed-context samples, which assume generally that the prompt consists of two sub-parts:

1.  Text Passage Context, and
2.  Specific question or instruction based on the text passage

To get the best results, package "my_prompt" as follows:

    my_prompt = {{text_passage}} + "\n" + {{question/instruction}}


If you are using a HuggingFace generation script:

    # prepare prompt packaging used in fine-tuning process
    new_prompt = "<human>: " + entries["context"] + "\n" + entries["query"] + "\n" + "<bot>:"

    inputs = tokenizer(new_prompt, return_tensors="pt")  
    start_of_output = len(inputs.input_ids[0])

    #   temperature: set at 0.3 for consistency of output
    #   max_new_tokens:  set at 100 - may prematurely stop a few of the summaries

    outputs = model.generate(
            inputs.input_ids.to(device),
            eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
            pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
            do_sample=True,
            temperature=0.3,
            max_new_tokens=100,
            )

    output_only = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][start_of_output:],skip_special_tokens=True)
