Self-Distillation Enables Continual Learning
Paper • 2601.19897 • Published • 28
This model is a fine-tuned version of meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct on the Neelectric/OpenR1-Math-220k_all_SDFT_nr dataset. It has been trained using TRL.
from transformers import pipeline
question = "If you had a time machine, but could only go to the past or the future once and never return, which would you choose and why?"
generator = pipeline("text-generation", model="Neelectric/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct_SDFT_mathv00.06", device="cuda")
output = generator([{"role": "user", "content": question}], max_new_tokens=128, return_full_text=False)[0]
print(output["generated_text"])
This model was trained with SDFT, a method introduced in Self-Training with On-Policy Self-Distillation for Language Model Alignment.
