This is the sixth in a series of models designed to replicate the prose quality of the Claude 3 models, specifically Sonnet and Opus. This model is fine-tuned on top of [Mistral-Large-Instruct-2407](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-Large-Instruct-2407).

## Prompting
Model has been Instruct tuned with the Mistral formatting. A typical input would look like this:

```py
"""[INST] Hi there! [/INST]Nice to meet you!</s>[INST] Can I ask a question? [/INST]
"""
```

## Credits
- Stheno dataset (filtered)

This model has been a team effort, and the credits goes to all members of Anthracite.

## Training
The training was done for 1.5 epochs. We used 8x [AMD Instinct™ MI300X Accelerators](https://www.amd.com/en/products/accelerators/instinct/mi300/mi300x.html) for the full-parameter fine-tuning of the model.

In addition to this, we noticed that Mistral Large models seemed much more sensitive to learning rate adjustments than other models:

We hypothesize this is primarily due to the particularly narrow and low variance weight distributions typical of Mistral derived models regardless of their scale.
In the end, we settled on 2e-6 with an effective batch size of 64 (and a packed tokens batch size of 8192; effectively ~500,000 tokens per batch).

We also trained with a weight decay of 0.01 to help further stabilize the loss trajectory and mitigate overfitting.
