Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-expanded

This method employs mergekit's passthrough method to expand blocks within the "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2" model. For every 5th layer, a new layer is added, with the o_proj and down_proj parameters of these added layers initialized to zero, mirroring the approach used in LLaMA Pro.

It's important to note that this configuration has not undergone fine-tuning. So this won't work. Therefore, when fine-tuning, ensure that only every 5th layer is trainable,while all other layers remain frozen.

Function to freeze layers

    """
    This function configures the specified model to enable gradient calculations exclusively for every nth layer, starting 
    from the first layer (0-indexed), to accommodate newly added blocks for training. Concurrently, it freezes the gradients 
    for all other components of the model, including the embedding layers and the model's head. This setup is particularly 
    useful for fine-tuning processes where only a subset of layers are targeted for updates, ensuring efficient training and 
    adaptation of newly integrated layers while maintaining the pre-trained behavior of other model components.
