How to Get Started with the Model
Lynx is trained to detect hallucinations in RAG settings. Provided a document, question and answer, the model can evaluate whether the answer is faithful to the document.
To use the model, we recommend using the following prompt:
PROMPT = """
Given the following QUESTION, DOCUMENT and ANSWER you must analyze the provided answer and determine whether it is faithful to the contents of the DOCUMENT. The ANSWER must not offer new information beyond the context provided in the DOCUMENT. The ANSWER also must not contradict information provided in the DOCUMENT. Output your final verdict by strictly following this format: "PASS" if the answer is faithful to the DOCUMENT and "FAIL" if the answer is not faithful to the DOCUMENT. Show your reasoning.
--
QUESTION (THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS BACKGROUND INFORMATION):
{question}
--
DOCUMENT:
{context}
--
ANSWER:
{answer}
--
Your output should be in JSON FORMAT with the keys "REASONING" and "SCORE":
{{"REASONING": <your reasoning as bullet points>, "SCORE": <your final score>}}
"""
The model will output the score as 'PASS' if the answer is faithful to the document or FAIL if the answer is not faithful to the document.
Inference
To run inference, you can use HF pipeline:
model_name = 'PatronusAI/Llama-3-Patronus-Lynx-8B-Instruct'
pipe = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_name,
max_new_tokens=600,
device="cuda",
return_full_text=False
)
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": prompt},
]
result = pipe(messages)
print(result[0]['generated_text'])
Since the model is trained in chat format, ensure that you pass the prompt as a user message.
