Libraries

How to use cstr/Spaetzle-v69-7b with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="cstr/Spaetzle-v69-7b")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("cstr/Spaetzle-v69-7b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("cstr/Spaetzle-v69-7b")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Spaetzle-v69-7b

This is a progressive (mostly dare-ties, but also slerp) merge with the intention of a suitable compromise for English and German local tasks.

There is also a 4q_k_m quantized GGUF.

It should work sufficiently well with ChatML prompt template (for all merged models should have seen ChatML prompts at least in DPO stage).

Evaluation

Benchmark scores are not the possible optimum, as the model attempts a compromise with a number of parameters, like German language performance, instruction following, reasoning capabilities, robustness (so far, i did not encounter inserted tokens, e.g.), model licensing, and other criteria. Nevertheless, they are not too bad:

It achieves (running quantized) in

German EQ Bench: Score (v2_de): 62.59 (Parseable: 171.0).
English EQ Bench: Score (v2): 76.43 (Parseable: 171.0).
