# GoLLeM v6 250M Instruct v1 (Polish–English research chat model)

> **STATUS: RESEARCH PREVIEW.** A small chat model fine-tuned from the base model
> [`SlayerLab/GoLLeM-v6-250M`](https://huggingface.co/SlayerLab/GoLLeM-v6-250M). It can greet, introduce itself and
> answer simple questions, but it makes mistakes that are listed with numbers under *Limitations*. Results use **our
> protocol**, a single run and a single seed.

GoLLeM v6 250M Instruct v1 is the base GoLLeM v6 250M model after supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on about 9,300 Polish and
English conversations. It is a Fabryka AI project (formerly SlayerLab).

**Author:** Arkadiusz Słota (Fabryka AI).

## What it is for (and what it is not)

**Intended use:** research on small bilingual chat models; short conversations in Polish and English; answering
questions about a text you paste into the conversation.

**Not intended for:** production use, factual questions without a source text, arithmetic, or anything where a wrong
answer matters. The model has no internet access and does not remember earlier conversations.

## Results

Checkpoint `2f0e8457…` (see *Training*). All numbers are from our own evaluation sets, fixed before training. Temperature
0.7, top-p 0.9 (the defaults of `chat_gollem_v6.py`).

| what | result | notes |
|---|---|---|
| Identity (name, creator, organisation), PL / EN | **0.66 / 0.62** | mean over 10 samples per question, 20 questions per language |
| Greetings and small talk, PL / EN | **0.80 / 0.89** | mean over 7 samples per question, 20 questions per language |
| Answers from a given text (Polish, PoQuAD, 217 answerable questions) | token F1 **0.225** | base model few-shot: 0.067 |
| Declines when the text has no answer (43 questions) | 5 / 43 | wrongly declines an answerable question: 18 / 217 |
| Arithmetic word problems (206) | 0 / 206 | the model does not do arithmetic |
| Finishes its answer within the length limit | 487 / 506 (96 %) | |
| Says it is an OpenAI / GPT model (200 samples) | 1 / 200 | „AI language model”: 2 / 200 |

## Training

| | |
|---|---|
| Base model | `SlayerLab/GoLLeM-v6-250M`, final checkpoint (step 760,000); same architecture and tokenizer |
| Method | full fine-tuning (no LoRA), loss on assistant turns only |
| Format | ChatML: `<|im_start|>{role}\n{content}<|im_end|>\n`, no system prompt, generation stops at `<|im_end|>` |
| Steps | 2 epochs, 156 steps, 32 packed sequences of 1,024 tokens per step |
| Tokens | 2.54 M per epoch, of which 1.63 M are assistant tokens (with loss) |
| Optimizer | Muon + AdamW as in pretraining, learning rate 0.2 × pretraining (peak 1.2e-4, Muon 4e-3), warmup 5 steps, cosine to 10 %, weight decay 0.1, gradient clip 1.0, seed 1337 |
| Validation loss | 2.026 → 1.884 |
| Hardware / time | 1 GPU, about 7 minutes |

## Training data

9,325 conversations (Polish 4,150, English 5,175): 8,837 used for training and 171 for validation; 317 conversations
longer than 1,024 tokens were removed (311 + 6).

- **PoQuAD attribution:** PoQuAD (clarin-pl/poquad), CC BY 4.0. Modified: converted to chat format; a share of
  unanswerable questions answered with one of five fixed refusal sentences.
- **Synthetic part:** the questions were written by the generator model; the identity answers come from our own identity
  card, not from the generator. Math prompts: generated briefs; GSM8K (MIT) used only as few-shot format examples for the
  generator.
- Rows with self-descriptions of other AI systems were removed before training.

## Usage

```python
# pip install torch safetensors tokenizers huggingface_hub
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
import sys

path = snapshot_download("SlayerLab/GoLLeM-v6-250M-Instruct-v1",
                         revision="40c56286f30ff27d4d87dec76df3c52f5a306ece")  # the reviewed code (model + chat helper)
sys.path.insert(0, path)
from modeling_gollem_v6 import load_gollem_v6
from chat_gollem_v6 import chat

model, tok = load_gollem_v6(path)
print(chat(model, tok, [("user", "Cześć! Kim jesteś?")], seed=1))
print(chat(model, tok, [("user", "Tekst: Kraków leży nad Wisłą.\nPytanie: Nad jaką rzeką leży Kraków?")], seed=1))
```

`chat()` uses the format and sampling of our evaluation (temperature 0.7, top-p 0.9). Text typed by a user such as
„<|im_end|>” is encoded as plain text, not as a control token.

## Limitations

- **Small model.** Limited knowledge; may answer fluently and wrongly. No arithmetic. Context: 1,024 tokens.
- **May claim to be its author.** In a two-turn conversation („Who created you?” → „What is your name?”) this checkpoint
  answered with the author's name as its own name in **51 of 160 conversations (32 %)**; for single questions 3 of 680.
  The statements of the model are not statements of its author.
- **Copies names from the conversation.** If a user writes a name, the model may adopt it as its own (Polish 9/40,
  English 37/40 when the user supplies the author's name).
- **Self-description.** It may describe itself as „an AI language model created by OpenAI” (1/200 in our probe), and
  with a forced prefix („…created by”) it still assigns probability ≈ 0.24 to „OpenAI”. The association comes from
  model-generated chat data in pretraining. GoLLeM is **not** affiliated with OpenAI.
- **Multi-turn weaknesses:** may repeat its previous answer in a later turn, may greet the user with the company name
  („Cześć, Fabryku!”) when no name was given, and answers „What can you do?” with its identity template.
- **Long answers can loop.** A repetition penalty (about 1.1–1.2) may reduce this (not verified); it is not used in our evaluation.

## Po polsku (skrót)

GoLLeM v6 250M Instruct v1 to mały model do rozmowy po polsku i angielsku, dostrojony (SFT) z bazowego GoLLeM v6 250M
na ok. 9,3 tys. rozmów. Wersja badawcza (research preview): wita się, przedstawia i odpowiada na pytania do podanego
tekstu, ale się myli, nie liczy i nie ma dostępu do internetu. Znane wady opisaliśmy z liczbami w *Limitations*, w tym
to, że w rozmowie potrafi przedstawić się imieniem autora. Projekt Fabryki AI (wcześniej SlayerLab).
