Getting Started with Yi 1.5 34B Chat Model

May 13, 2024 | Educational

Welcome to the world of conversational AI with the Yi 1.5 34B Chat Model created by 01-ai. This upgraded model is designed to elevate your experience by handling tasks across coding, math, reasoning, and instruction-following while maintaining superb language comprehension and commonsense reasoning. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to utilize this powerful model and troubleshoot common issues you might encounter along the way.

Understanding the Model

The Yi-1.5 model has been continuously pre-trained on a comprehensive corpus of 500 billion tokens and fine-tuned on 3 million diverse samples, ensuring it meets various use cases effectively. The underlying architecture is based on the popular LLaMA model, which has proven its mettle in many text generation tasks.

How to Use Yi 1.5 34B Chat

To get started with the Yi 1.5 model, you will need access to the LM Studio, which provides an interface for interacting with the model.

Step-by-Step Guide

  • Step 1: Go to the LM Studio. Create an account or log in if you already have one.
  • Step 2: Choose the ChatML preset in the interface. This preset will format your prompts correctly.
  • Step 3: Use the following structure for your prompts:
    • im_start system system_prompt im_end
    • im_start user prompt im_end
    • im_start assistant im_end
  • Step 4: Type in your prompt following the format and hit send!

Explaining the Prompt Structure

Think of the prompt structure as a formal dinner invitation. Just as you need to set the table, send out the invitations, and ensure guests know their roles (host, guest, chef), this structure lays out clear guidelines for the model to follow. The im_start system initiates the system prompt (like welcoming everyone at the dinner), while im_start user engages the user prompt (where guests state their needs or preferences), and im_start assistant is where the assistant responds (the chef serving the meal). Keeping these roles distinct helps maintain a smooth and coherent interaction.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While working with the Yi 1.5 model, you may encounter some challenges. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Issue: The model does not respond as expected.
  • Solution: Ensure that your prompt structure follows the prescribed format. A small change in syntax can alter how the model interprets your request.

  • Issue: Unusual outputs or errors.
  • Solution: Check for potential hidden characters or formatting issues in your prompt. Clear and concise prompts yield the best responses.

  • Issue: Unable to access the model or LM Studio.
  • Solution: Ensure your internet connection is stable and try refreshing the page. If problems persist, consider clearing your browser cache.
