TheRise of Automated Instruction Tuning (Wizard ML)
The Rise of Automated Instruction Tuning: Decoding WizardLM and Evil Instruct The landscape of large language models (LLMs) is shifting. We're moving from models trained on raw text to instruction-based models, capable of executing specific tasks as directed. However, achieving this level of responsiveness requires more than just vast text datasets. It necessitates fine-tuning on meticulously crafted instruction data, a process traditionally reliant on expensive and potentially limited human-generated examples. This blog post delves into the innovative approach presented in the "WizardLM" paper, which introduces "Evil Instruct," a method for automatically generating complex and diverse instruction datasets, culminating in the creation of the powerful WizardLM model. The Traditional Paradigm: From Base Models to Instruction-Tuned LLMs The conventional workflow involves two primary stages: Base Model Training: A foundation model, like GPT DaVinci or ...
