Training

  • Pre-trained on 15 trillion tokens

  • Fine-tuned through Supervised Fine-tuning (SFT) and RLHF

    Supervised Fine-tuning : Supervised fine-tuning is a process of improving an existing AI model's performance by training it with labeled data. For example, if you want to teach the model text summarization, you provide pairs of 'original text' and 'summarized text' as training data. Through this training with correct answer pairs, the model can enhance its performance on specific tasks.

    Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) : RLHF is a method where AI models learn to generate better responses through human feedback. When the AI generates responses, humans evaluate them, and the model improves based on these evaluations. Just like a student improves their skills through teacher feedback, AI develops to provide more ethical and helpful responses through human feedback.
