base on [NeurIPS 2024] SimPO: Simple Preference Optimization with a Reference-Free Reward # Simple Preference Optimization (SimPO) This repository contains the code and released models for our paper [SimPO: Simple Preference Optimization with a Reference-Free Reward](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14734). We propose a simpler and more effective preference optimization algorithm than DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) without using a reference model. SimPO outperforms DPO and its latest variants across AlpacaEval 2, MT-Bench, and Arena-Hard benchmarks under various settings.

For optimal reproducibility, we recommend using the same package versions. However, please note that results may still vary due to differences in hardware configurations and CUDA versions, etc. ### Hyperparameter tuning Hyperparameter tuning is crucial for SimPO (and other preference optimization algorithms in general). The three main hyperparameters of SimPO to focus on are `learning_rate`, `beta`, and `gamma` (we recommend keeping the total batch size fixed at 128). - `learning_rate`: It is the most critical hyperparameter for preference optimization. A large learning rate (e.g., 1e-5) can significantly degrade performance, causing the model to produce incoherent sentences or completely repetitive responses. We recommend grid searching over 3e-7, 5e-7, 8e-7, and 1e-6, if resources allow. **We find that a smaller learning rate (e.g., 5e-7) is more suitable for reasoning intensive domains like math for both DPO and SimPO.** - `beta`: Beta controls the reward scaling between winning and losing responses. SimPO requires a much larger `beta` than DPO. In our preprint, we used a beta of `2.0` or `2.5`, but in many cases, an even larger beta (e.g., `10`) could yield better results. - `gamma`: Gamma controls the target reward margin. We suggest tuning the ratio of gamma to beta (i.e., `gamma / beta`). We recommend using `0.5` as a starting point for `gamma_beta_ratio` and grid searching between `0` and `1`. A well-tuned `gamma_beta_ratio` can provide a modest improvement, but it is not as critical as other hyperparameters. We used the following hyperparameters for training the released models (note that in our latest update, we changed the hyperparameter `gamma` to `gamma_beta_ratio` as the latter is normalized and easier to tune under different `beta` values). | Setting | β | γ/β | Learning rate | |-------------------|-----|-----|----------------| | Mistral-Base | 2.0 | 0.8 | 3e-7 | | Mistral-Instruct | 2.5 | 0.1 | 5e-7 | | Llama3-Base | 2.0 | 0.5 | 6e-7 | | Llama3-Instruct | 2.5 | 0.55 | 1e-6 | | Llama3-Instruct v0.2 | 10 | 0.3 | 1e-6 | | Gemma | 10 | 0.5 | 8e-7 | For DPO, the best hyperparameters for each setting are as follows. | Setting | β | Learning Rate | |------------------------|------|---------------| | Mistral-Base | 0.01 | 5e-7 | | Mistral-Instruct | 0.01 | 5e-7 | | Llama3-Base | 0.01 | 5e-7 | | Llama3-Instruct | 0.01 | 7e-7 | | Llama3-Instruct v0.2 | 0.01 | 3e-7 | | Gemma | 0.01 | 5e-7 | ### Training and evaluation consistency in BOS Our released Llama3 models use the initial version of the Llama3 tokenizer (prior to this [PR](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct/commit/339ce92d052f002cdbac4a4bd551d1c61dd8345e)). We have found that the updated Llama3 tokenizer with vLLM occasionally introduces two BOS tokens, which can affect evaluation results. Therefore, please ensure that only one BOS token is included in the prompt after applying the Llama3 chat template during any evaluation. *Notably, if you are training Llama3 and evaluating the trained models on AlpacaEval 2 and Arena-Hard using the templates provided in this repo, please make sure to use the pre-update Llama3 tokenizer (i.e., the one before the PR).* ### Reproducing AlpacaEval 2 numbers Please make sure that you use `alpaca-eval==0.6.2` and [model configurations](https://github.com/princeton-nlp/SimPO/tree/main/eval/alpacaeval2/configs) in our repo for successfully reproducing AlpacaEval 2 results. AlpacaEval has a major revision for vllm decoding since `0.6.3` and causes a discrepancy from our experiments. ### Adding an extra SFT loss The [CPO_SIMPO](https://github.com/fe1ixxu/CPO_SIMPO/tree/main) repository did preliminary experiments and observed that in some cases, adding an additional SFT loss can help improve results. In our own experiments, the SFT regularization helps preserve the reasoning ability (e.g., GSM8K) but degrades chat performance. If you'd like to apply SFT regularization, you can set `sft_weight` to be a positive value (by default it's 0). ## Released Models ### Gemma We release the following two models that are built on top of the strong [google/gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) model by training DPO and SimPO on the on-policy dataset [princeton-nlp/gemma2-ultrafeedback-armorm](https://huggingface.co/datasets/princeton-nlp/gemma2-ultrafeedback-armorm). For GSM and MMLU, we use the [ZeroEval](https://github.com/yuchenlin/ZeroEval) repository which aims to evaluate instruction-tuned LLMs (i.e., chat models instead of base models) for their zero-shot performance on reasoning and knowledge heavy tasks. More results on [WildBench](https://huggingface.co/spaces/allenai/WildBench) are coming soon. | models | AE2 LC | AE2 WR | AE2 Length | AH | AH Length | GSM | GSM Length | MMLU | MMLU Length | |-----------------------------------|:------:|:------:|:----------:|:----:|:---------:|:----:|:----------:|:----:|:-----------:| | [google/gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) | 51.1 | 38.1 | 1571 | 40.8 | 545 | 87.4 | 395 | 72.7 | 515 | | [princeton-nlp/gemma-2-9b-it-DPO](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/gemma-2-9b-it-DPO) | 67.8 | 65.4 | 2016 | 58.9 | 717 | 88.5 | 392 | 72.2 | 624 | | [princeton-nlp/gemma-2-9b-it-SimPO](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/gemma-2-9b-it-SimPO) | 72.4 | 65.9 | 1833 | 59.1 | 693 | 88.0 | 341 | 72.2 | 441 | - Compared to the llama3 models, we found that the gemma models exhibit significantly less catastrophic forgetting on math tasks (e.g., GSM) and MMLU, despite the ultrafeedback dataset having limited math-related data. This demonstrates that the [google/gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it) model is more suitable for continued preference optimization. - SimPO and DPO perform comparably across all benchmarks, but SimPO is inherently simpler and less resource-intensive. ### v0.2 We found that using a strong reward model for annotating preference optimization datasets is crucial. In this iteration, we have reannotated the dataset [princeton-nlp/llama3-ultrafeedback-armorm](https://huggingface.co/datasets/princeton-nlp/llama3-ultrafeedback-armorm) using a more powerful reward model, [RLHFlow/ArmoRM-Llama3-8B-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/RLHFlow/ArmoRM-Llama3-8B-v0.1). As a result, the v0.2 models demonstrate significantly improved performance compared to the v0.1 models. **Caveat**: We have observed that the SimPO v0.2 model often struggles with generating outputs that require adherence to specific structures, such as json. This issue arises from a combination of factors: the llama3-instruct model's tendency to forget and the large learning rate (e.g., 1e-6) used during training, which causes deviation from the original model. To address this, we developed SimPO models based on the [google/gemma-2-9b-it](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b-it). We found that changing the initial model significantly mitigates the forgetting issue and reduces the impact of the learning rate. | models | | AE2 LC | AE2 WR | AH | |------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:------:|:------:|:----:| | Llama 3 Instruct 8B RRHF v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-RRHF-v2.0](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-RRHF-v0.2) | 37.9 | 31.6 | 28.8 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B SLiC-HF v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SLiC-HF-v2.0](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SLiC-HF-v0.2) | 33.9 | 32.5 | 29.3 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B DPO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-DPO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-DPO-v0.2) | 48.2 | 47.5 | 35.2 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B IPO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-IPO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-IPO-v0.2) | 46.8 | 42.4 | 36.6 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B CPO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-CPO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-CPO-v0.2) | 34.1 | 36.4 | 30.9 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B KTO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-KTO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-KTO-v0.2) | 34.1 | 32.1 | 27.3 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B ORPO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-ORPO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-ORPO-v0.2) | 38.1 | 33.8 | 28.2 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B R-DPO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-RDPO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-RDPO-v0.2) | 48.0 | 45.8 | 35.1 | | Llama 3 Instruct 8B SimPO v0.2 | [princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SimPO-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/princeton-nlp/Llama-3-Instruct-8B-SimPO-v0.2) | 53.7 | 47.5 | 36.5 | ### v0.1 Below is the complete list of models evaluated in our preprint.

[generate.py](generate.py) script for detailed instructions on loading the model with the appropriate chat template. ## Install Requirements Our codebase is built upon the [alignment-handbook repo](https://github.com/huggingface/alignment-handbook). The following steps will guide you through the installation process. First, create a Python virtual environment using e.g. Conda: ```shell conda create -n handbook python=3.10 && conda activate handbook ``` Next, install PyTorch `v2.2.2`. Since this is hardware-dependent, we direct you to the [PyTorch Installation Page](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). You can then install the remaining package dependencies of [alignment-handbook](https://github.com/huggingface/alignment-handbook) as follows: ```shell git clone https://github.com/huggingface/alignment-handbook.git cd ./alignment-handbook/ python -m pip install . ``` You will also need Flash Attention 2 installed, which can be done by running: ```shell python -m pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation ``` ## Training Scripts We provide four training config files for the four training setups reported in our paper. The training config is set for 4xH100 GPUs. You may need to adjust `num_processes` and `per_device_train_batch_size` based on your computation environment. * Mistral-Base: ```shell ACCELERATE_LOG_LEVEL=info accelerate launch --config_file accelerate_configs/deepspeed_zero3.yaml scripts/run_simpo.py training_configs/mistral-7b-base-simpo.yaml ``` * Mistral-Instruct: ```shell ACCELERATE_LOG_LEVEL=info accelerate launch --config_file accelerate_configs/deepspeed_zero3.yaml scripts/run_simpo.py training_configs/mistral-7b-instruct-simpo.yaml ``` * Llama3-Base: ```shell ACCELERATE_LOG_LEVEL=info accelerate launch --config_file accelerate_configs/deepspeed_zero3.yaml scripts/run_simpo.py training_configs/llama-3-8b-base-simpo.yaml ``` * Llama3-Instruct: ```shell ACCELERATE_LOG_LEVEL=info accelerate launch --config_file accelerate_configs/deepspeed_zero3.yaml scripts/run_simpo.py training_configs/llama-3-8b-instruct-simpo.yaml ``` * Llama3-Instruct v0.2: ```shell ACCELERATE_LOG_LEVEL=info accelerate launch --config_file accelerate_configs/deepspeed_zero3.yaml scripts/run_simpo.py training_configs/llama-3-8b-instruct-simpo-v2.yaml ``` ## Evaluation We follow the official implementation for evaluation on AlpacaEval 2, Arena-Hard, and MT-Bench, as follows (more details can be found under [the eval directory](https://github.com/princeton-nlp/SimPO/tree/main/eval)): * AlpacaEval 2: Please refer to the [AlpacaEval repo](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/alpaca_eval) for evaluation. * Arena-Hard: Please refer to to the [Arena-Hard-Auto repo](https://github.com/lm-sys/arena-hard-auto) for evaluation. * MT-Bench: Please refer to the [FastChat repo](https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat) for evaluation. ## Bugs or Questions?
