- This [conversational notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Aau3lgPzeZKQ-98h69CCu1UJcvIBLmy2?usp=sharing) is useful for ShareGPT ChatML / Vicuna templates.
- This [text completion notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ef-tab5bhkvWmBOObepl1WgJvfvSzn5Q?usp=sharing) is for raw text. This [DPO notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/15vttTpzzVXv_tJwEk-hIcQ0S9FcEWvwP?usp=sharing) replicates Zephyr.
- \* Kaggle has 2x T4s, but we use 1. Due to overhead, 1x T4 is 5x faster.
## Special Thanks
A huge thank you to the Hugging Face team for creating and releasing these models.
## Model Summary
SmolLM2 is a family of compact language models available in three size: 135M, 360M, and 1.7B parameters. They are capable of solving a wide range of tasks while being lightweight enough to run on-device.
The 1.7B variant demonstrates significant advances over its predecessor SmolLM1-1.7B, particularly in instruction following, knowledge, reasoning, and mathematics. It was trained on 11 trillion tokens using a diverse dataset combination: FineWeb-Edu, DCLM, The Stack, along with new mathematics and coding datasets that we curated and will release soon. We developed the instruct version through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) using a combination of public datasets and our own curated datasets. We then applied Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) using [UltraFeedback](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceH4/ultrafeedback_binarized).
The instruct model additionally supports tasks such as text rewriting, summarization and function calling thanks to datasets developed by [Argilla](https://huggingface.co/argilla) such as [Synth-APIGen-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/argilla/Synth-APIGen-v0.1).
