jsonformer VS WizardLM

- Tools like jsonformer https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer are not possible with OpenAIs API.

How does this compare in terms of latency, cost, and effectiveness to jsonformer? https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer

You're correct with interpreting how the model works wrt it returning tokens one at a time. The model returns one token, and the entire context window gets shifted right by one to for account it when generating the next one.

As for model performance at different context sizes, it's seems a bit complicated. From what I understand, even if models are tweaked (for example using the superHOT RoPE hack or sparse attention) to be able to use longer contexts, they still have to be fined tuned on input of this increased context to actually utilize it, but performance seems to degrade regardless as input length increases.

For your question about fine tuning models to respond with only "yes" or "no", I recommend looking into how the jsonformers library works: https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer . Essentially, you still let the model generate many tokens for the next position, and only accept the ones that satisfy certain criteria (such as the token for "yes" and the token for "no".

You can do this with openAI API too, using tiktoken https://twitter.com/AAAzzam/status/1669753722828730378?t=d_W... . Be careful though as results will be different on different selections of tokens, as "YES", "Yes", "yes", etc are all different tokens to the best of my knowledge

From here, we just need to continue generating tokens until we get to a closing quote. This approach was borrowed from Jsonformer which uses a similar approach to induce LLMs to generate structured output. Continuing to do so for each property using Replit's code LLM gives the following output:

https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer or https://github.com/microsoft/guidance may help get better results, but I ended up with a bit more of a custom solution.

I think function calling is just JSONformer idk: https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer

This is interesting work, and a good contribution, but there is no need to mislead people.

If you pair this with the latest WizardCoder models, which have a fairly better performance than the standard Salesforce Codegen2 and Codegen2.5, you have a pretty solid alternative to GitHub Copilot that runs completely locally.

(We will update the demo links in our github.)

In terms of speed, we're talking about 140t/s for 7B models, and 40t/s for 33B models on a 3090/4090 now.[1] (1 token ~= 0.75 word) It's quite zippy. llama.cpp performs close on Nvidia GPUs now (but they don't have a handy chart) and you can get decent performance on 13B models on M1/M2 Macs.

You can take a look at a list of evals here: https://llm-tracker.info/books/evals/page/list-of-evals - for general usage, I think home-rolled evals like llm-jeopardy [2] and local-llm-comparison [3] by hobbyists are more useful than most of the benchmark rankings.

That being said, personally I mostly use GPT-4 for code assistance to that's what I'm most interested in, and the latest code assistants are scoring quite well: https://github.com/abacaj/code-eval - a recent replit-3b fine tune the human-eval results for open models (as a point of reference, GPT-3.5 gets 60.4 on pass@1 and 68.9 on pass@10 [4]) - I've only just started playing around with it since replit model tooling is not as good as llamas (doc here: https://llm-tracker.info/books/howto-guides/page/replit-mode...).

I'm interested in potentially applying reflexion or some of the other techniques that have been tried to even further increase coding abilities. (InterCode in particular has caught my eye https://intercode-benchmark.github.io/)

You talking about this? https://github.com/nlpxucan/WizardLM

The smallest model that is close to competent at code is WizardCoder 15B.. https://github.com/nlpxucan/WizardLM/
