AutoMix: Automatically Mixing Language Models












## What is AutoMix?

The idea behind AutoMix is simple:

1. Send a query to small language model (SLM), gets a noisy label on its correctness using **few-shot self-verification** done with the same model (SLM).

2. Use a meta-verifier to _double check_ verifier's output, and route the query to a larger language model (LLM) if needed.



## Self-Verification and Meta-verification

At the center of automix is the idea of context-grounded self-verification:



- However, such verification can often be noisy, so we introduce an additional layer of meta-verification using [POMDPs](https://www.pomdp.org/) or thresholding.

## Notebooks

### Running inference

- [**Step1 Run inference to solve tasks**](https://github.com/automix-llm/automix/blob/main/colabs/Step1_SolveQueries.ipynb) - Task prompts, code to run inference from different language models.
[![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/automix-llm/automix/blob/main/colabs/Step1_SolveQueries.ipynb)

### Few-shot self-verification

- [**Step2 Self Verify**](https://github.com/automix-llm/automix/blob/main/colabs/Step2_SelfVerify.ipynb) - Verification prompts, code to run verification on the outputs produced in step 1.

### Meta-verification

- [**Step3 Meta Verify**](https://github.com/automix-llm/automix/blob/main/colabs/Step3_MetaVerify.ipynb) - Run meta-verification using different AutoMix methods on outputs produced from Step 2.
[![Open In Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/automix-llm/automix/blob/main/colabs/Step3_MetaVerify.ipynb)

- You can run `pip install automix-llm' to use the meta-verifier system wide.

### Replicating the results

- To replicate the results in the paper, please run `python scripts paper_results.py`

## Data and Outputs

- We experiment with 5 datasets: CNLI, CoQA, NarrativeQA, QASPER, and Quality.

- Note: The dataset are sourced from [scrolls](https://www.scrolls-benchmark.com/). Please cite scrolls and the appropriate sources if you use these datasets. We are making them available in a sinlge jsonl file for ease of use and reproducibility. For details on how CoQa was prepared, please see [**Preparing COQA**](https://github.com/automix-llm/automix/blob/main/colabs/Preparing_COQA.ipynb).

- **Inputs:** All input data for the AutoMix project is provided in `automix_inputs.jsonl`. You can access and download it directly from [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dhyt7UuYumk9Gae9eJ_mpTVrLeSTuRht/view?usp=sharing).

- **Outputs from LLAMA2:** The outputs generated using the LLAMA2 model are stored in `automix_llama2_outputs.jsonl`, available alongside the input file in the linked Google Drive.
