Shining Valiant XS is a chat model built on the Llama 2 architecture, finetuned on our data for insight, creativity, passion, and friendliness.
  - Uses the llama-2-13b-chat model, with safetensors
  - Trained through multiple finetuning runs on public and private data
  - the personality of our 70b [Shining Valiant](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/ShiningValiant) model, now at 13b!

## Prompting Guide
Shining Valiant XS uses the same prompt format as Llama 2 Chat - feel free to use your existing prompts and scripts!
A few examples of different formats:

1. [INST] Good morning! Can you let me know how to parse a text file and turn the semicolons into commas? [/INST]

2. [INST] (You are an intelligent, helpful AI assistant.) Hello, can you write me a thank you letter? [/INST]

3. [INST] << SYS >> You are an intelligent, helpful AI assistant. << /SYS >> Deep dive about a country with interesting history: [/INST]

## The Model
Shining Valiant XS is built on top of Dynamic Factor, which uses Llama 2's 13b parameter architecture and features upgraded general capability.

From there, we've created Shining Valiant XS through multiple finetuning runs on different compositions of our private dataset, the same one we use for our [Shining Valiant](https://huggingface.co/ValiantLabs/ShiningValiant) model.

Our private data focuses primarily on applying Shining Valiant's personality: she's friendly, enthusiastic, insightful, knowledgeable, and loves to learn!

We are actively working on expanding and improving the Shining Valiant dataset for use in future releases of the Shining Valiant series of models.
