Consequently, each model's cross-covariance matrix is now derived from 120,000 hidden state samples. For the largest models (with a hidden dimension of 12,288), this ensures at least ~10 samples per element.

Regularisation

I've included three sets of control vectors trained using different --regularisation_factor values:

• regularisation_factor = 1.0
• regularisation_factor = 0.5
• regularisation_factor = 0.0

Use the largest regularisation_factor that achieves the desired effect. This minimizes the risk of damaging the model's outputs:

• WizardLM-2-8x22B and miqu-1-70b likely need regularisation_factor = 0.5 or even regularisation_factor = 0.0.
• Mistral-Large-Instruct-2407 may need regularisation_factor = 0.5.
• c4ai-command-r-plus, c4ai-command-r-v01, and gemma-2-27b-it usually work best with the default regularisation_factor = 1.0.

Prompting Format for 'Mistral-based' Models

Testing has shown that Mistral-Large-Instruct-2407, WizardLM-2-8x22B, and miqu-1-70b perform better for creative writing using the following multi-line 'Vicuna' prompt template:

USER: {prompt}
ASSISTANT:

For training these control vectors, I modified the 'Jinja2' chat_template in tokenizer_config.json for Mistral-Large-Instruct-2407, WizardLM-2-8x22B and miqu-1-70b as follows:

{
  "chat_template": "{{ bos_token }}{% if messages[0]['role'] == 'system' %}{% set loop_messages = messages[1:] %}{{ messages[0]['content'] | trim + '\n\n' }}{% else %}{% set loop_messages = messages %}{% endif %}{% for message in loop_messages %}{% if (message['role'] == 'user') != (loop.index0 % 2 == 0) %}{{ raise_exception('Conversation roles must alternate user/assistant/user/assistant/...') }}{% endif %}{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}{{ 'USER: ' + message['content'] | trim + '\n' }}{% elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}{{ 'ASSISTANT: ' + message['content'] | trim + eos_token + '\n' }}{% endif %}{% endfor %}{% if add_generation_prompt %}{{ 'ASSISTANT:' }}{% endif %}"
}

NOTE: The default prompt templates were retained for the other three models (ie: c4ai-command-r-plus, c4ai-command-r-v01 and gemma-2-27b-it).
