Arsh-llm: A Compact 500M Parameter Powerhouse 🚀

Arsh-llm is a 500-million-parameter language model built on the Llama architecture, designed to shine in generating creative stories, coherent text, and functional code. Pretrained for 35 hours on a T4 GPU using a curated mix of small yet powerful datasets, and fine-tuned for 15 hours on conversational data, this model is a lean, mean, text-generating machine with massive potential. With a training loss between 1.2–1.9, it’s already showing promise and is ready to level up with more training. Buckle up—this is just the beginning! 😎

Model Overview

  • Architecture: Llama-based causal language model
  • Parameters: 500M
  • Context Length: 128 tokens
  • Pretraining Duration: ~35 hours on NVIDIA T4 GPU
  • Fine-tuning Duration: ~15 hours on conversational datasets
  • Training Loss: 1.2–1.9 (with room to improve!)
  • Library: Transformers (Hugging Face)
  • License: MIT

Datasets

Arsh-llm was trained on a diverse set of datasets to ensure versatility in storytelling, text generation, and code-related tasks:

  • roneneldan/TinyStories: Short, creative stories for narrative generation.
  • Salesforce/wikitext: Wikipedia-based text for general knowledge and coherence.
  • abhinand/alpaca-gpt4-sharegpt: Instruction-based conversational data for task-oriented responses.
  • shibing624/sharegpt_gpt4: High-quality conversational data for chat-like interactions.
  • ChristophSchuhmann/basic-math-problems-with-step-by-step-solutions: Math problems with solutions to boost logical reasoning.

Fine-tuning was performed on a structured ShareGPT chat template to enhance conversational abilities, making Arsh-llm a great starting point for dialogue-based applications.

Use Cases

Arsh-llm is a versatile model with applications in:

  • Creative Writing: Generate engaging short stories or narrative prompts.
  • Code Generation: Produce functional code snippets for various programming tasks.
  • Conversational AI: Power chatbots or assistants with natural dialogue.
  • Educational Tools: Assist with math problem-solving or explain concepts step-by-step.

Note: This model is a work in progress. For production-grade performance, further pretraining on larger datasets and post-training on conversational data is recommended.

Getting Started

To use Arsh-llm, you can load it directly from Hugging Face:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# Load model and tokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("arshiaafshani/Arsh-llm")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("arshiaafshani/Arsh-llm")

# Example: Generate a response
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a short story about a brave robot."}]
input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Training Details

  • Pretraining: Conducted on a T4 GPU for ~35 hours using a mix of TinyStories, WikiText, and other datasets to build a strong foundation in text and story generation.
  • Fine-tuning: 15 hours on ShareGPT-based conversational data with a structured chat template to enhance dialogue capabilities.
  • Hardware: NVIDIA T4 GPU (15GB VRAM).
  • Training Loss: Achieved 1.2–1.9, indicating solid performance with significant potential for improvement through extended training.

Limitations

  • Current Stage: Arsh-llm is not yet fully optimized. It performs well for its size but requires additional training to compete with larger models.
  • Dataset Size: Pretrained on relatively small datasets, which limits its generalization. Scaling up to larger datasets will unlock its full potential.
  • Context Length: Limited to 128 tokens, which may constrain performance on longer sequences.
  • Not Production-Ready: This model is best used as a base for further fine-tuning rather than as a standalone solution.

Future Plans

The journey doesn’t end here! Arsh-llm is set to evolve with:

  • Extended Pretraining: Leveraging larger datasets for broader knowledge and better generalization.
  • Conversational Fine-tuning: Enhancing dialogue capabilities with advanced post-training techniques.
  • Benchmarking: Evaluating performance against similar models (e.g., TinyLlama, Phi-1.5) on tasks like MMLU, HumanEval, and GSM8K.
  • Community Feedback: Incorporating user insights to refine and improve the model.

Stay tuned—Arsh-llm is on its way to becoming a legend! 🔥
