Model Card for RLPR-Llama3.1-8B-Inst

GitHub | Paper

RLPR-Llama3.1-8B-Inst is trained from Llama3.1-8B-Inst with the RLPR framework, which eliminates reliance on external verifiers and is simple and generalizable for more domains.

Model Details

Key Features

• 💡 Verifier-Free Reasoning Enhancement: RLPR pioneers reinforcement learning for reasoning tasks by leveraging the LLM's intrinsic generation probability as a direct reward signal. This eliminates the need for external verifiers and specialized fine-tuning, offering broad applicability and effectively handling complex, diverse answers.
• 🛠️ Innovative Reward & Training Framework:
  • Features a robust Probability-based Reward (PR) using average decoding probabilities of reference answers for higher quality, debiased reward signals, outperforming naive sequence likelihood.
  • Implements an standard deviation filtering mechanism that dynamically filters prompts to stabilize training and significantly boost final performance.
• 🚀 Strong Performance in General & Mathematical Reasoning: Demonstrates substantial reasoning improvements across diverse benchmarks, surpassing the RLVR baseline for 1.4 average points across seven benchmarks.

Model Description

• Trained from model: Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
• Trained on data: RLPR-Train-Dataset

Usage

# pip install accelerate
import transformers
import torch

model_id = "openbmb/RLPR-Llama3.1-8B-Inst"

pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},
    device_map="auto",
)

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]

outputs = pipeline(
    messages,
    max_new_tokens=256,
)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1])
