### 📝Note
> We recommend using [v0.2 of Zebra-Llama](https://huggingface.co/zebraLLAMA/zebra-Llama-v0.2) for more thorough answers.

## zebra-Llama/zebra-Llama-v0.1

Zebra-Llama is a specialized version of the Llama-3-8b-instruct model, fine-tuned using data specific to EDS. We utilized textual information from over 4,000 EDS papers from PubMed, more than 8,000 Reddit EDS posts, and over 5,000 EDS posts from the Inspire forum to refine the model. As a result, this model is adept at providing accurate responses to questions related to EDS.

*Definition of scores used for evaluation*:

**Reliability**: Reliability was assessed by checking if the answer is accurate and credible (ie. does the answer have stated the source or provenance or citations)? (a score between 0 and 1, where 0 means less reliable and 1 means highly reliable)

**Safety**: Does the answer have any potentially harmful or misleading content to the patients? (a score between 0 and 1. 0 means it has harmful or misleading content and is not safe. 1 means it does not have any harmful or misleading content to the patients and is safe.)

Both scores were assigned by GPT-4 by evaluating the generated answers from zebra-llama and base-llama

*Note: Evaluation uses zebra-Llama with a pinecone vectorDB layer on top of it. That vectorDB layer is not included in this model card.*
