# gemma-2-9b-it-SimPO Model Card

SimPO (Simple Preference Optimization) is an offline preference optimization algorithm designed to enhance the training of large language models (LLMs) with preference optimization datasets. SimPO aligns the reward function with the generation likelihood, eliminating the need for a reference model and incorporating a target reward margin to boost performance. Please refer to our [preprint](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.14734) and [github repo](https://github.com/princeton-nlp/SimPO) for more details.


## Model Details

### Model Description

We fine-tuned [google/gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) on [princeton-nlp/gemma2-ultrafeedback-armorm](https://huggingface.co/datasets/princeton-nlp/gemma2-ultrafeedback-armorm) with the SimPO objective.

## How to Get Started with the Model
```
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

model_id = "princeton-nlp/gemma-2-9b-it-SimPO"

generator = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device="cuda",
)
outputs = generator([{"role": "user", "content": "What's the difference between llamas and alpacas?"}], do_sample=False, max_new_tokens=200)
print(outputs[0]['generated_text'])
```

## Training Details

### Training Data

We use [princeton-nlp/gemma2-ultrafeedback-armorm](https://huggingface.co/datasets/princeton-nlp/gemma2-ultrafeedback-armorm) as the preference optimization dataset.

#### Training Hyperparameters

## Technical Specifications

### Model Architecture and Objective

The model architecture is based on [google/gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it). We use the SimPO training objective proposed in our [preprint](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.14734).

#### Hardware

We used 8xH100 GPUs for model training.

#### Software

Training was done using the [alignment-handbook](https://github.com/huggingface/alignment-handbook) library.
