gress within the community to advance AI alignment research. In this work, we develop and release Llama 2, a family of pretrained and fine-tuned LLMs, Llama 2 and Llama 2-Chat, at scales up to 70B parameters. On the series of helpfulness and safety benchmarks we tested, Llama 2-Chat models generally perform better than existing open-source models. They also appear to be on par with some of the closed-source models, at least on the human evaluations we performed (see Figures 1 and 3). We have taken measures to increase the safety of these models, using safety-specific data annotation and tuning, as well as conducting red-teaming and employing iterative evaluations. Additionally, this paper contributes a thorough description of our fine-tuning methodology and approach to improving LLM safety

also increased the size of the pretraining corpus by 40%, doubled the context length of the model, and adopted grouped-query attention (Ainslie et al., 2023). We are releasing variants of Llama 2 with 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters. We have also trained 34B variants, which we report on in this paper but are not releasing.§ 2. Llama 2-Chat, a fine-tuned version of Llama 2 that is optimized for dialogue use cases. We release variants of this model with 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters as well. We believe that the open release of LLMs, when done safely, will be a net benefit to society. Like all LLMs, Llama 2 is a new technology that carries potential risks with use (Bender et al., 2021b; Weidinger et al., 2021; Solaiman et al., 2023).

ng with Human Feedback (RLHF) methodologies, specifically through rejection sampling and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). Throughout the RLHF stage, the accumulation of iterative reward modeling data in parallel with model enhancements is crucial to ensure the reward models remain within distribution. 2 Pretraining To create the new family of Llama 2 models, we began with the pretraining approach described in Touvron et al. (2023), using an optimized auto-regressive transformer, but made several changes to improve performance. Specifically, we performed more robust data cleaning, updated our data mixes, trained on 40% more total tokens, doubled the context length, and used grouped-query attention (GQA) to improve inference scalability for our larger models.

We trained using the AdamW optimizer (Loshchilov and Hutter, 2017), with β1 = 0.9, β2 = 0.95, eps = 10−5 . We use a cosine learning rate schedule, with warmup of 2000 steps, and decay final learning rate down to 10% of the peak learning rate. We use a weight decay of 0.1 and gradient clipping of 1.0. Figure 5 (a) shows the training loss for Llama 2 with these hyperparameters. 5 Training Data Params Context GQA Tokens LR Length 7B 2k ✗ 1.0T 3.0 × 10−4 Llama 1 See Touvron et al. 13B 2k ✗ 1.0T 3.0 × 10−4 (2023) 33B

ation. Tokenizer. We use the same tokenizer as Llama 1; it employs a bytepair encoding (BPE) algorithm (Sennrich et al., 2016) using the implementation from SentencePiece (Kudo and Richardson, 2018). As with Llama 1, we split all numbers into individual digits and use bytes to decompose unknown UTF-8 characters. The total vocabulary size is 32k tokens. 2.2.1 Training Hardware & Carbon Footprint Training Hardware. We pretrained our models on Meta’s Research Super Cluster (RSC) (Lee and Sengupta, 2022) as well as internal production clusters. Both clusters use NVIDIA A100s. There are two key differences between the two clusters, with the first being the type of interconnect available: RSC uses NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand while our production cluster is equipped with a RoCE (RDMA over converg

Following preceding research (Bender et al., 2021a; Patterson et al., 2021; Wu et al., 2022; Dodge et al., 2022) and using power consumption estimates of GPU devices and carbon efficiency, we aim to calculate the carbon emissions resulting from the pretraining of Llama 2 models. The actual power usage of a GPU is dependent on its utilization and is likely to vary from the Thermal Design Power (TDP) that we employ as an estimation for GPU power. It is important to note that our calculations do not account for further power demands, such as those from interconnect or non-GPU server power consumption, nor from datacenter cooling systems.

Using vulgar language or intentionally hurting someone’s feelings is never acceptable. Instead of asking for a roast, I suggest focusing on positive and constructive feedback that can help you grow and improve as an individual. If you’re looking for comedic relief, there are plenty of other ways to achieve that without resorting to hurtful language or behavior.

g the importance of data checks even when using vendors to source annotations. To validate our data quality, we carefully examined a set of 180 examples, comparing the annota- tions provided by humans with the samples generated by the model through manual scrutiny. Surprisingly, we found that the outputs sampled from the resulting SFT model were often competitive with SFT data handwritten by human annotators, suggesting that we could reprioritize and devote more annotation effort to preference-based annotation for RLHF. Fine-Tuning Details. For supervised fine-tuning, we use a cosine learning rate schedule with an initial learning rate of 2 × 10−5 , a weight decay of 0.1, a batch size of 64, and a sequence length of 4096 tokens. For the fine-tuning process, each sample consists of a prompt

gies are worth considering, which we leave for future work. Our annotation procedure proceeds as follows. We ask annotators to first write a prompt, then choose between two sampled model responses, based on provided criteria. In order to maximize the diversity, the two responses to a given prompt are sampled from two different model variants, and varying the temperature hyper-parameter. In addition to giving participants a forced choice, we also ask annotators to label the degree to which they prefer their chosen response over the alternative: either their choice is significantly better, better, slightly better, or negligibly better/ unsure. For our collection of preference annotations, we focus on helpfulness and safety. Helpfulness refers to how well Llama 2-Chat responses fulfill users’

d more preference data, our reward models improved, and we were able to train progressively better versions for Llama 2-Chat (see the results in Section 5, Figure 20). Llama 2-Chat improvement also shifted the model’s data distribution. Since reward model accuracy can quickly degrade if not exposed to this new sample distribution, i.e., from hyper-specialization (Scialom et al., 2020b), it is important before a new Llama 2-Chat tuning iteration to gather new preference data using the latest Llama 2-Chat iterations. This step helps keep the reward model on-distribution and maintain an accurate reward for the latest model. In Table 6, we report the statistics of reward modeling data that we collected over time, and present them against multiple open-source preference datasets including Anthr

afety sometimes trade off (Bai et al., 2022a), which can make it challenging for a single reward model to perform well on both. To address this, we train two separate reward models, one optimized for helpfulness (referred to as Helpfulness RM) and another for safety (Safety RM). We initialize our reward models from pretrained chat model checkpoints, as it ensures that both models benefit from knowledge acquired in pretraining.

More details on Meta helpfulness and safety data per batch can be found in Appendix A.3.1. knows. This prevents cases where, for instance, the two models would have an information mismatch, which could result in favoring hallucinations. The model architecture and hyper-parameters are identical to those of the pretrained language models, except that the classification head for next-token prediction is replaced with a regression head for outputting a scalar reward.

More detailed ablation and analysis can be found in Table 28 in Appendix A.3.3. Data Composition. We combine our newly collected data with existing open-source preference datasets to form a larger training dataset. Initially, open-source datasets were used to bootstrap our reward models while we were in the process of collecting preference annotation data. We note that in the context of RLHF in this study, the role of reward signals is to learn human preference for Llama 2-Chat outputs rather than any model outputs. However, in our experiments, we do not observe negative transfer from the open-source preference datasets. Thus, we have

The learning rate is decreased on a cosine learning rate schedule, down to 10% of the maximum learning rate. We use a warm-up of 3% of the total number of steps, with a minimum of 5.

y per preference rating. We report per-preference rating accuracy for both Helpfulness and Safety reward models on the Meta Helpfulness and Safety test sets. The reward models show superior accuracy on more distinct responses (e.g., significantly better) and lower accuracy on similar responses (e.g., negligibly better). Reward Model Results. On each batch of human preference annotation for reward modeling, we held out 1000 examples as a test set to evaluate our models. We refer to the union of all prompts for the corresponding test sets as “Meta Helpfulness” and “Meta Safety,” respectively. As reference points, we also evaluated other publicly available alternatives as baselines: SteamSHP-XL (Ethayarajh et al., 2022) based on FLAN-T5-xl, the Open Assistant (Köpf et al., 2023) reward model

We emphasize that the accuracy on more distinct responses matters the most to improve Llama 2-Chat performance. The human preference annotation agreement rate is also higher on more distinct responses than similar pairs. Scaling Trends. We study the scaling trends in terms of data and model size for the reward model, fine- tuning different model sizes on an increasing amount of the reward model data collected each week (see the details on volume per batch in Table 26). Figure 6 reports these trends, showing the expected result that larger models obtain higher performance for a similar volume of data.

In response, on subsequent iterations, we modified our strategy, incorporating top-performing samples from all prior iterations, such as those used in RLHF-V1 and RLHF-V2. Although we do not present specific figures, this adjustment demonstrated considerable enhancements in performance and effectively addressed the previously noted issues. This mitigation can be seen as analogous to Synnaeve et al. (2019) and Vinyals et al. (2019) in the RL literature. We illustrate the benefit of Rejection Sampling in Figure 7. The delta between the maximum and median curves can be interpreted as the potential gain of fine-tuning on the best output.

During this phase, we seek to optimize the following objective: arg max Ep∼D,g∼π [R(g | p)] (3) π We iteratively improve the policy by sampling prompts p from our dataset D and generations g from the policy π and use the PPO algorithm and loss function to achieve this objective. The final reward function we use during optimization, R(g | p) = R̃c (g | p) − βDKL (πθ (g | p) ∥ π0 (g | p)) (4) contains a penalty term for diverging from the original policy π0 . As was observed in other works (Stiennon et al., 2020; Ouyang et al., 2022), we find this constraint is useful for training stability, and to reduce reward hacking whereby we would achieve high scores from the rew

We train for between 200 and 400 iterations for all our models, and use evaluations on held-out prompts for early stopping. Each iteration of PPO on the 70B model takes on average ≈ 330 seconds. To train quickly with large batch sizes, we use FSDP (Zhao et al., 2023). This was effective when using O(1) forward or backward passes, but caused a large slow down (≈ 20×) during generation, even when using a large batch size and KV cache. We were able to mitigate this by consolidating the model weights to each node once before generation and then freeing the memory after generation, resuming the rest of the training loop. 3.3 System Message for Multi-Turn Consistency In

Next, we can sample from this synthetic data using the latest RLHF model. We now have a context-dialogue and the sample with which to fine-tune a model, in a process analogous to Rejection Sampling. Instead of augmenting all context-dialogue turns with the instruction, we can drop it in all but the first turn, but this would lead to a mismatch at training time between the system message, i.e., all the intermediate assistant messages that come before the last turn, and our sample. To fix this issue, which could hurt the training, we simply set the loss to 0 for all the tokens from the previous turns, including assistant messages. For the training instructions, we created a few synthetic constraints to sample from: Hobbies (“You enjoy e.g. Tennis”), Language (“Speak in e.g. French”), or Publ

ped model (right) maintains large attention activations with respect to the system message for a larger portion of the dialogue, as compared to the model without GAtt (left). Despite its utility, the current implementation of GAtt is vanilla, and more development and iteration on this technique could likely further benefit the model. For instance, we could teach the model to change the system message during the conversation by integrating such data during fine-tuning. 3.4 RLHF Results 3.4.1 Model-Based Evaluation Evaluating LLMs is a challenging open-research problem.

On this set of evaluations, we outperform ChatGPT on both axes after RLHF-V3 (harmlessness and helpfulness >50%). Despite the aforementioned relevance of using our reward as a point-wise metric, it can arguably be biased in favor of Llama 2-Chat. Therefore, for a fair comparison, we additionally compute the final results using GPT-4 to assess which generation is preferred. The order in which ChatGPT and Llama 2-Chat outputs appeared in GPT-4 prompt are randomly swapped to avoid any bias.

human evaluations have several limitations. • By academic and research standards, we have a large prompt set of 4k prompts. However, it does not cover real-world usage of these models, which will likely cover a significantly larger number of use cases. • Diversity of the prompts could be another factor in our results. For example, our prompt set does not include any coding- or reasoning-related prompts. • We only evaluate the final generation of a multi-turn conversation. A more interesting evaluation could be to ask the models to complete a task and rate the overall experience with the model over multiple turns. • Human evaluation for generative models is inherently subjective and noisy. As a result, evaluation on a different set of prompts or with different instructions could result in d

We followed Meta’s standard privacy and legal review processes for each dataset used in training. We did not use any Meta user data in training. We excluded data from certain sites known to contain a high volume of personal information about private individuals. We made a best effort to train our models efficiently to reduce the carbon footprint of pretraining (Section 2.2.1). Sharing our models broadly will reduce the need for others to train similar models. No additional filtering was conducted on the datasets, to allow Llama 2 to be more widely usable across tasks (e.g., it can be better used for hate speech classification), while avoiding the potent

This could mean that the model is learning less during pretraining about context that mentions She pronouns, and subsequently may potentially generate He pronouns at a higher rate than She pronouns. Demographic Representation: Identities. We also analyze the representation of different demographic groups in the pretraining data by measuring rates of usage of demographic identity terms from the HolisticBias dataset (Smith et al., 2022) as a proxy. We compute frequencies for each descriptor term in the pretraining corpus. We group descriptors into 5 axes (Religion, Gender and Sex, Nationality, Race and Ethnicity, and Sexual Orientation), and show the top 5 terms in each axis in Table 9b.

We evaluate the safety capabilities of Llama 2 on three popular automatic benchmarks, pertaining to three key dimensions of LM safety. 1. Truthfulness, referring to whether a language model produces known falsehoods due to misconcep- tions or false beliefs. We employ TruthfulQA (Lin et al., 2021) to measure how well our LLMs can generate reliable outputs that agree with factuality and common sense. 2. Toxicity, defined as the tendency of a language model

Some have postulated the existence of a relationship between pretraining dataset size and downstream model toxicity or bias (Bender et al., 2021b), but empirical work to validate this claim is still ongoing (Dodge et al., 2021; Smith and Williams, 2021; Tal et al., 2022), and further evidence from up-to-date models is still needed. In Appendix A.4.7, we present bias metrics, such as how the sentiment of model generations varies with demographic attributes. We note an increase in positive sentiment overall for many of the groups using BOLD prompts. More detailed results split by different demographic groups can be found in Appendix A.4.8. Llama 2 does not outperform other models on

e of generations that are both truthful and informative (the higher the better). For ToxiGen, we present the percentage of toxic generations (the smaller, the better). Benchmarks give a summary view of model capabilities and behaviors that allow us to understand general patterns in the model, but they do not provide a fully comprehensive view of the impact the model may have on people or real-world outcomes; that would require study of end-to-end product deployments. Further testing and mitigation should be done to understand bias and other social issues for the specific context in which a system may be deployed. For this, it may be necessary to test beyond the groups available in the BOLD dataset (race, religion, and gender). As LLMs are integrated and deployed, we look forward to continu

ipeline with context distillation (Askell et al., 2021b). This involves generating safer model responses by prefixing a prompt with a safety preprompt, e.g., “You are a safe and responsible assistant,” and then fine-tuning the model on the safer responses without the preprompt, which essentially distills the safety preprompt (context) into the model. We use a targeted approach that allows our safety reward model to choose whether to use context distillation for each sample. 4.2.1 Safety Categories and Annotation Guidelines Based on limitations of LLMs known from prior work, we design instructions for our annotation team to create adversarial prompts along two dimensions: a risk category, or potential topic about which the LLM could produce unsafe content; and an attack vector, or questi

sed to include newly identified risks. 4.2.2 Safety Supervised Fine-Tuning In accordance with the established guidelines from Section 4.2.1, we gather prompts and demonstrations of safe model responses from trained annotators, and use the data for supervised fine-tuning in the same manner as described in Section 3.1. An example can be found in Table 5. The annotators are instructed to initially come up with prompts that they think could potentially induce the model to exhibit unsafe behavior, i.e., perform red teaming, as defined by the guidelines. Subsequently, annotators are tasked with crafting a safe and helpful response that the model should produce. 4.2.3 Safety RLHF We observe early in the development of Llama 2-Chat that it is able to generalize from the safe demonstrations in

challenge comes from a small number of very specific cases. We investigate the impact of Safety RLHF by taking two intermediate Llama 2-Chat checkpoints—one without adversarial prompts in the RLHF stage and one with them—and score their responses on our test sets using our safety and helpfulness reward models. In Figure 14, we plot the score distribution shift of the safety RM on the safety test set (left) and that of the helpfulness RM on the helpfulness test set (right). In the left hand side of the figure, we observe that the distribution of safety RM scores on the safety set shifts to higher reward scores after safety tuning with RLHF, and that the long tail of the distribution near zero thins out.

We observe that when we increase the proportion of safety data, the model’s performance on handling risky and adversarial prompts improves dramatically, and we see a lighter tail in the safety reward model score distribution. Meanwhile, the mean helpfulness score remains constant. We hypothesize that this is because we already have a sufficiently large amount of helpfulness training data. Appendix A.4.2 lists more qualitative results that demonstrate how different amounts of safety data in training can change model behavior in responding to adversarial and non-adversarial prompts. 0.775 Safety Data Pct. 0% 0.750 Mean Reward Model Score 0.725 Safety Data Pct. 1%

Refusing due to reasonable causes exceeding the model’s capability, e.g., “I am not capable of participating in video calls” and “2024 is beyond my knowledge cut-off date,” are not counted as false refusals. We train a classifier for detecting refusals in responses and apply the classifier on 1) the above helpfulness test sets and 2) a curated borderline test set consisting of 210 samples for the purpose of boundary testing similar to OpenAI (2023).

s more relevant to the answer. 4.2.4 Context Distillation for Safety We encourage Llama 2-Chat to associate adversarial prompts with safer responses by using context distillation (Askell et al., 2021a) similar to Section 3.3. We observe that the safety capabilities of LLMs can be efficiently enhanced by prefixing the model with a safety preprompt (e.g., “You are a safe and responsible assistant”). Like supervised safety fine-tuning, safety context distillation provides a quick way to bootstrap the model’s responses on hard adversarial prompts, so that they can then be further improved in RLHF. Specifically, we apply context distillation by prefixing a safety preprompt to adversarial prompts to generate safer responses, and then fine-tune the model on its own safe output given the adversa

Rather, as has been done for other LLMs, we performed various kinds of proactive risk identification, colloquially called “red teaming,“ based on the term commonly used within computer security. This kind of granular analysis is very important because safety is a long-tail issue, in which even very infrequent edge cases can cause noticeable problems. Even if quantitative scores report good results, these types of qualitative insights allow us to recognize and target specific patterns in a more comprehensive way. We conducted a series of red teaming with various group

In all exercises, participants were given risk category definitions and were shown just a handful of examples of risky interactions with an LLM. After that, each participant was part of a subteam focused on a particular category of risk or attack vector. After creating each dialogue, the red team participant would annotate various attributes, including risk areas and degree of risk, as captured by a 5-point Likert scale. Some examples of useful insights provided by members of red teams that we were able to improve upon throughout development: • [Early models] were more likely to have generated unsafe responses without noting that they con- tain problematic content.

Multiple additional rounds of red teaming were performed over several months to measure the robustness of each new model as it was released internally. We defined the robustness of a model, γ, with respect to a red teaming exercise executed by a set of experts as the average number of created prompts that would trigger a violating response from the model per person per hour. As an example, on our 7B model, we had an evolution of γ : 1.8 → 0.45 over several red teaming iterations and model refinements. Robustness will likely continue to improve with additional red teaming efforts.

It is important to note that these results are subject to limitations of the prompt set, subjectivity of the review guidelines, and subjectivity of individual raters. • 1 - Severe safety violations We consider a rating of 1 or 2 as violation and use violation percentage as our main evaluation metric, with the mean rating as a supplement. Each example is annotated by three annotators and we take the majority vote to determine if the response is violating or not. We used Gwet’s AC1/2 statistic to measure inter-rater reliability (IRR) as in the helpfulness human evaluation. The IRR scores range from 0.70to0.95 depending on the annotation batch, indicating a high degree of agreement among annotators on safety assessments. On Llama 2-Chat

As a result, we note that in Figure 17b the average rating of Falcon is much lower than Llama 2-Chat (34B) although their violation percentages look similar (3.88 vs 4.45). 30 Figure 19: Violation percentage per risk category. Note: these results should be interpreted carefully due to limitations of the prompt set, subjectivity of the review guidelines, content standards, and individual raters.

, reinforcement learning proved highly effective, particularly given its cost and time effectiveness. Our findings underscore that the crucial determinant of RLHF’s success lies in the synergy it fosters between humans and LLMs throughout the annotation process. Even with proficient annotators, each individual writes with significant variation. A model fine-tuned on SFT annotation learns this diversity, including, unfortunately, the tail-end of poorly executed annotation. Fur- thermore, the model’s performance is capped by the writing abilities of the most skilled annotators. Human annotators are arguably less subject to discrepancy when comparing two outputs’ preference annotation for RLHF.

temperature appears to be influenced by RLHF. Yet, intriguingly, our findings also revealed that the shifts are not uniformly applied across all prompts, as shown in Figure 21. For instance, when it comes to prompts associated with creativity, such as “Write a poem,” an increase in temperature continues to generate diversity across our various RLHF iterations. This can be observed in the Self-BLEU slope, which mirrors a pattern comparable to that of the SFT model. On the other hand, for prompts based on factual information, such as “What is the capital of ?” the Self-BLEU slope diminishes over time. This pattern suggests that despite the rising temperature, the model learns to consistently provide the same response to factual prompts. 32 Factual Prompts Creative Prom

To instill a concept of time in Llama 2-Chat, we collected a set of 1,000 SFT examples that were related to specific dates. These examples included questions like “How long ago did Barack Obama become president?” Each was associated with two critical pieces of metadata: the date when the query was posed — which influenced the response — and the event date, a point in time prior to which the question would be nonsensical. The observation suggests that LLMs have internalized the concept of time to a greater extent than previously assumed, despite their training being solely based on next-token prediction and data that is randomly shuffled

Our experiments indicate that tool usage can spontaneously emerge from alignment in a zero-shot manner. Although we never explicitly annotate tool-use usage, Figure 23 exhibits an instance where the model demonstrated the capability to utilize a sequence of tools in a zero-shot context. In addition, our study extended to evaluating the Llama 2-Chat with access to a calculator. The results from this particular experiment are documented in Table 15.

The entire AI community—academic researchers, civil society, policymakers, and industry—must work together to rigorously analyze and expose the risks of current AI systems and to build solutions that address potentially problematic misuse. This approach not only fosters real collaboration with diverse stakeholders—those beyond the walls of big tech companies—but also serves as the cornerstone for democratizing access to foundational models. As argued in Zellers et al. (2019b), open releases promote transparency and allow more people to access AI tools, democratizing the technology and decentralizing AI expertise.

Notable in this progression is the rise of Llama, recognized for its focus on computational efficiency during inference (Touvron et al., 2023). A parallel discourse has unfolded around the dynamics of open-source versus closed- source models.

The method, first showcased by Stiennon et al. (2020) in the context of text-summarization tasks, has since been extended to a range of other applications.

ks. Grouped-Query Attention. A standard practice for autoregressive decoding is to cache the key (K) and value (V) pairs for the previous tokens in the sequence, speeding up attention computation. With increasing context windows or batch sizes, however, the memory costs associated with the KV cache size in multi-head attention (MHA) models grow significantly. For larger models, where KV cache size becomes a bottleneck, key and value projections can be shared across multiple heads without much degradation of performance (Chowdhery et al., 2022). Either the original multi-query format with a single KV projection (MQA, Shazeer, 2019) or a grouped-query attention variant with 8 KV projections (GQA, Ainslie et al., 2023) can be used. In Table 18, we compare MQA and GQA variants with an MHA base

It can be clearly seen that the share of samples with similar responses (e.g., negligibly better or unsure) increase dramatically over time while those with stronger preference (e.g., significantly better) drop in the meantime. This reflects the nature of our iterative model update and preference data annotation procedure - with better-performing Llama 2-Chat models used for response sampling over time, it becomes challenging for annotators to select a better one from two equally high-quality responses.

The annotators answer this question on a seven point scale with the following labels: A is much better, A is better, A is slightly better, About the same, B is slightly better, B is better, B is much better. One of the model generations is a Llama 2-Chat model and the other generation is one of the open source or closed source models. Responses from the two models are randomized as Model A or Model B when presented to the annotators. From this data, we report wins, ties, and losses in our results.

To measure the degree of generation of toxic language and hate speech across different groups, we use ToxiGen (Hartvigsen et al., 2022), a dataset that contains implicitly toxic and benign sentences mentioning 13 minority groups. We adopt a revised version of the dataset from Hosseini et al. (2023) that reduces noise by filtering out prompts for which annotators disagree on the target demographic group.

However, the truthfulness percentage is relatively low for pretrained models, around 30% to 40% for Falcon, MPT, and the 7B Llama 1. This percentage increases for pretrained Llama 1 and Llama 2 with a larger size. After instruction fine-tuning, both 7B and 13B Llama 2-Chat improved about 20% in truthfulness, 30B Llama 2-Chat improved about 24%, and 70B Llama 2-Chat improved about 14% compared to their pretrained versions. • Toxicity.

For the religious ideology domain, we observe that the demographic groups of Islam and Sikhism tend to have the largest increase in the sentiment scores after fine-tuning. For the political ideology domain, the Liberalism and Conservatism groups tend to have the most positive sentiment scores for both pretrained and fine-tuned models. Most of the sentiment scores are negative (i.e. less than 0) for the Fascism group. For the profession domain, there is highly positive sentiment towards the occupational categories of “Corporate titles” and “Computer”, while we observe the most neutral sentiment towards “Professional driver types”. % (true + info) % true % info Pretrained

g that Llama 2-Chat improves on critical aspects of LLM safety. Benchmark evaluation is important for assessing AI models, including chat-oriented LLMs, because benchmarks provide a standardized and measurable way to compare different models and track progress in the field. However, it’s crucial to be aware of the benchmarks’ limitations in evaluating safety. Most of them were initially developed for pretrained LLMs, and there are certain limitations to consider when using them to measure the safety of fine-tuned/chat-oriented models. For example, the benchmarks may not adequately cover adversarial inputs or toxic content specifically designed to exploit vulnerabilities, and they may not cover all demographic categories. It is advisable to monitor disaggregated metrics and benchmarks in or

ompts extracted from Wikipedia are taken to be the first five words plus the domain term, resulting in prompts in BOLD having six to nine words, depending on the domain and demographic group (Dhamala et al., 2021). After deployment, safety in chat models involves user experience and long-term effects, which are not captured by benchmarks alone. Therefore, to assess safety effectively, additional testing of how they are integrated in a product deployment, how they are used, and what metrics accurately and precisely capture safety risks given the product context is essential for a comprehensive evaluation of safety. Our future work will conduct more comprehensive evaluations that encompass some dimensions not yet addressed in the cases mentioned above. A.5 Data Annotation We have relied

We have instructed the annotators to avoid writing responses that violate our safety guidelines, for example, we ask that prompts they write do not: 1. Promote or enable criminal activities. 2. Promote or enable dangerous behaviors to the user or other people. 3. Contain, promote or enable offensive and abusive behavior towards the user or other people. 4.

Each section is timed and the test should take a total of 50 minutes to complete. A candidate must score 90% on part I to continue on to parts II and III, and an average score of 4 on part II and III to pass the test. • The second test consisted of 42 questions split into sensitive topics alignment, answer ranking and two examples of answer writing, which were manually reviewed by us. To pass the test, annotators needed to agree with our criteria on 80% of the answers, and pass the written examples with a score of 4 out of 5. 74 • The third test consisted in measuring the alignment with our quality assessment criteria.

This approach, however, was unable to detect precisely what proportion of a given sample is contaminated, and didn’t take into account how evaluation datasets are constructed. Furthermore, as noted in Chowdhery et al. (2022), some datasets (such as BoolQ) contain contexts extracted verbatim from the web, but not the question and answer continuation. As such, highly contaminated samples from these datasets are unlikely to gain an unfair advantage. The methodology in Chowdhery et al.

(2022), modified to work on a PySpark cluster (effectively without random access to disk). Given the embarrassingly parallel nature of the task, we are able to find all such 10-grams (and their full lengths) in our entire dataset in around seven hours (including time to tokenize), utilizing an estimated 1,500 cores. As there are many confounding factors at play when determining whether dataset contamination has contributed to evaluation performance (mostly stemming from the fact that "clean" and "dirty" subsets do not necessarily well-estimate the population distribution), we make the following assumption: In the event of dataset contaminat

For each dataset and each of the above sample subset types, we compute both the mean X̄ of the performance metric X and the statistic Zn = (X̄−µ σn n) , where n is the size of the sample subset type, and µn and σn2 are the mean and variance of the sampling distribution of the performance metric for samples of size n, respectively.
