Can I say, now machines can think?
Generative AI techniques have opened the path for new generations of machines in diverse domains. These machines have various capabilities for example, they can produce images, generate answers or stories, and write codes based on the "prompts" only provided by users. These machines are considered 'thinking minds' because they have the ability to generate human-like responses. In this study, we have analyzed and explored the capabilities of artificial intelligence-enabled machines. We have revisited on Turing's concept of thinking machines and compared it with recent technological advancements. The objections and consequences of the thinking machines are also discussed in this study, along with available techniques to evaluate machines' cognitive capabilities. We have concluded that Turing Test is a critical aspect of evaluating machines' ability. However, there are other aspects of intelligence too, and AI machines exhibit most of these aspects.

Figure 5: Left shows an equivalent structure to the RLHF framework in Figure 1. Right shows an implementation detail list for PPO. The number with circle indicates where this strategy is used in the PPO training. The pentagram indicates the method used by PPO-max. Figure 4. We observed stable convergence processes in training loss, but higher rewards do not reflect better policy behaviors from the perspective of human and GPT-4 evaluation. This means that the reward scores and training losses do not indicate whether the PPO is optimizing correctly. In vanilla PPO training, the response rewards of policy model gradually deviate from the original distribution and exhibit long-tail characteristics. We show the distribution of response rewards under different training steps in the Appendix A.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Epidemic Modeling with Generative Agents
This study offers a new paradigm of individual-level modeling to address the grand challenge of incorporating human behavior in epidemic models. Using generative artificial intelligence in an agent-based epidemic model, each agent is empowered to make its own reasonings and decisions via connecting to a large language model such as ChatGPT. Through various simulation experiments, we present compelling evidence that generative agents mimic real-world behaviors such as quarantining when sick and self-isolation when cases rise. Collectively, the agents demonstrate patterns akin to multiple waves observed in recent pandemics followed by an endemic period. Moreover, the agents successfully flatten the epidemic curve. This study creates potential to improve dynamic system modeling by offering a way to represent human brain, reasoning, and decision making.

Retrieval augmented LLMs (Borgeaud et al., 2022; Izacard et al., 2022; Wang et al., 2022; Shuster et al., 2021) enhance knowledge acquisition but do not improve rea- soning abilities. We propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP) to elicit both knowledge and reasoning abilities in LLMs, improving factual- ity while maintaining strong performance on pure- reasoning tasks. 6 Conclusion Solo Performance Prompting unleashes the cogni- tive synergy abilities within powerful LLMs, sig- nificantly reducing factual hallucination while en- hancing reasoning. The performance is assessed using newly proposed tasks, e.g., Trivia Creative Writing and Codenames Collaborative, demonstrat- ing superior results compared to Standard, CoT and Self-Refine. The discovery of the emergent na- ture of cognitive synergy on different LLMs draws interesting analogy to human development. # Limitations

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

An empirical strategy is to compare the training process of good and bad policy models to find suitable metrics. We show more indicative training metrics at the bottom of Figure 4, including perplexity, KL divergence between the policy and reference models, and the average length of generation responses. Previous work proposed an approximate linear relationship between the root KL and PM scores [17], but for smaller models, such an association appeared to be weak. We find the model response falls into the OOD region of preference model when the original policy is over-optimized. We will further discuss this scaling effects in the next section. We simultaneously observe that the collapsed model uniformly delivers longer responses and exhibits lower perplexity for such generative patterns. We use these metrics to show the importance of different tricks and their impact on PPO training in section 5.3. # Implement Details in PPO

# Limitations Although Solo Performance Prompting exhibits promising improvements in acquiring factually cor- rect knowledge compared to Standard prompting, it has some limitations. For instance, even when a fine-grained persona is assigned, the answer may still be incorrect. It remains unclear to what ex- tent assigning a persona can help enhance domain knowledge in a specific area. Dedicated diagnostic experiments and theoretical efforts are needed to quantify the impact of having a persona or not. Furthermore, we currently adopt an identical SPP prompt with the same two demonstration ex- amples for any given task inputs, which may be suboptimal. Future work investigating how to find better demonstration examples conditioned on each input could further improve the effectiveness of SPP. Last but not least, if given sufficient computa- tional budget, a natural variant of SPP could extend to a multi-agent cognitive synergist setup where a leader persona identifies several expert agents and forms a cabinet to collaboratively solve a task. The multi-agent setup allows for leveraging richer computation power, larger local memory, and more flexible human-computer interaction, which could be essential for deploying to real-world applica- tions. # References 2023.

# Implement Details in PPO We propose the instability and pattern collapse problem of the primitive PPO algorithm in sec 5.2. Such sensitivity derives from the over-optimization of the policy model which traps it into fixed generative patterns. Recent works have explored the implementation details of PPO algorithms in different scenarios. However, the application scenarios and data structures of traditional RL are quite different from RLHF. We determined to verify the applicability of these tricks in language model training and propose a set of PPO implementations that support stable optimization. We mainly focus on methods that efficiently assist PPO training and their parameter sensitivity in the body of this paper. Figure 5 illustrates numerous available tricks in PPO training, we first summarize the score reparameterization method (§5.3.1), followed by the optimization constraints for policy model (§5.3.2), and finally we present the different initialization methods for policy and critic models (§5.3.3).

Epidemic Modeling with Generative Agents
This study offers a new paradigm of individual-level modeling to address the grand challenge of incorporating human behavior in epidemic models. Using generative artificial intelligence in an agent-based epidemic model, each agent is empowered to make its own reasonings and decisions via connecting to a large language model such as ChatGPT. Through various simulation experiments, we present compelling evidence that generative agents mimic real-world behaviors such as quarantining when sick and self-isolation when cases rise. Collectively, the agents demonstrate patterns akin to multiple waves observed in recent pandemics followed by an endemic period. Moreover, the agents successfully flatten the epidemic curve. This study creates potential to improve dynamic system modeling by offering a way to represent human brain, reasoning, and decision making.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

Can I say, now machines can think?
Generative AI techniques have opened the path for new generations of machines in diverse domains. These machines have various capabilities for example, they can produce images, generate answers or stories, and write codes based on the "prompts" only provided by users. These machines are considered 'thinking minds' because they have the ability to generate human-like responses. In this study, we have analyzed and explored the capabilities of artificial intelligence-enabled machines. We have revisited on Turing's concept of thinking machines and compared it with recent technological advancements. The objections and consequences of the thinking machines are also discussed in this study, along with available techniques to evaluate machines' cognitive capabilities. We have concluded that Turing Test is a critical aspect of evaluating machines' ability. However, there are other aspects of intelligence too, and AI machines exhibit most of these aspects.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

In the following, it always refers to our own experiments when we mention PPO if not specifically stated. # 5.3.1 Score Reparameterization We use the term “score” to refer to the two vital intermediate variables involved in PPO training. The reward score is given by the reward model trained with human preferences data, and the advantage score is calculated by the GAE function. According to existing works, reparameterizing these scores to a stable distribution (e.g., a standard normal distribution) may intensify the stability of PPO. The reported operations are into three parts for verification. We use {r (x, y)} © {rn (x, y)}8_, to denote a reward sequence in training, 1, («, y) to denote the results of per-batch reward, o(A) and A to denote the mean and standard deviation of variable A.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

Can I say, now machines can think?
Generative AI techniques have opened the path for new generations of machines in diverse domains. These machines have various capabilities for example, they can produce images, generate answers or stories, and write codes based on the "prompts" only provided by users. These machines are considered 'thinking minds' because they have the ability to generate human-like responses. In this study, we have analyzed and explored the capabilities of artificial intelligence-enabled machines. We have revisited on Turing's concept of thinking machines and compared it with recent technological advancements. The objections and consequences of the thinking machines are also discussed in this study, along with available techniques to evaluate machines' cognitive capabilities. We have concluded that Turing Test is a critical aspect of evaluating machines' ability. However, there are other aspects of intelligence too, and AI machines exhibit most of these aspects.

Reward Scaling controls training fluctuations by scaling the rewards where the rewards are divided by the standard deviation of a rolling discounted sum. Based on the observation history, the reward for current state can be expressed as rn (x, y) /σ(r (x, y)). In contrast to the experimental results of Engstrom [29], we show that reward scaling doesn’t guide proper policy optimization, and PPO exhibits consistent patterns in training trajectories with and without reward scaling. In our experiments, we believe that tighter constraints are required to ensure training stability. Reward Normalization and Clipping was first proposed by Mnih [36]. The processed reward can be denoted as: ˜r (x, y) = clip rn (x, y) − r (x, y) σ(r (x, y) , −δ, δ , (18) 13

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Epidemic Modeling with Generative Agents
This study offers a new paradigm of individual-level modeling to address the grand challenge of incorporating human behavior in epidemic models. Using generative artificial intelligence in an agent-based epidemic model, each agent is empowered to make its own reasonings and decisions via connecting to a large language model such as ChatGPT. Through various simulation experiments, we present compelling evidence that generative agents mimic real-world behaviors such as quarantining when sick and self-isolation when cases rise. Collectively, the agents demonstrate patterns akin to multiple waves observed in recent pandemics followed by an endemic period. Moreover, the agents successfully flatten the epidemic curve. This study creates potential to improve dynamic system modeling by offering a way to represent human brain, reasoning, and decision making.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

where δ denotes the clip region. It is generally believed In traditional RL that reward clip is ineffective or even detrimental in certain scenarios [29]. However, we find that strict advantage cropping can also maintain training stability within a fixed epoch. Interestingly, hyperparameter tuning does not affect the similarity of the different methods in the early training period, and models with larger clipping thresholds exhibit greater strategy alteration and converge to higher rewards in the latter half. As we mentioned earlier, this does not imply better performance in the manual evaluation. Determining the optimal clipping bound within a limited number of trials is challenging in view of such inconsistency between the reward model and manual evaluation results, we suggest adopting a relaxed clipping strategy and incorporating other tricks to constrain the policy optimization when training RLHF.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Epidemic Modeling with Generative Agents
This study offers a new paradigm of individual-level modeling to address the grand challenge of incorporating human behavior in epidemic models. Using generative artificial intelligence in an agent-based epidemic model, each agent is empowered to make its own reasonings and decisions via connecting to a large language model such as ChatGPT. Through various simulation experiments, we present compelling evidence that generative agents mimic real-world behaviors such as quarantining when sick and self-isolation when cases rise. Collectively, the agents demonstrate patterns akin to multiple waves observed in recent pandemics followed by an endemic period. Moreover, the agents successfully flatten the epidemic curve. This study creates potential to improve dynamic system modeling by offering a way to represent human brain, reasoning, and decision making.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development. Code, data, and prompts can be found at: https://github.com/MikeWangWZHL/Solo-Performance-Prompting.git.

Can I say, now machines can think?
Generative AI techniques have opened the path for new generations of machines in diverse domains. These machines have various capabilities for example, they can produce images, generate answers or stories, and write codes based on the "prompts" only provided by users. These machines are considered 'thinking minds' because they have the ability to generate human-like responses. In this study, we have analyzed and explored the capabilities of artificial intelligence-enabled machines. We have revisited on Turing's concept of thinking machines and compared it with recent technological advancements. The objections and consequences of the thinking machines are also discussed in this study, along with available techniques to evaluate machines' cognitive capabilities. We have concluded that Turing Test is a critical aspect of evaluating machines' ability. However, there are other aspects of intelligence too, and AI machines exhibit most of these aspects.

Advantages Normalization and Clipping has similarities to the operation on reward, but differs in details that its normalization occurs only at the minibatch level. After calculating the advantage based on GAE, PPO normalizes the advantage value by subtracting its mean and dividing it by its standard deviation. Andrychowicz [28] first attempt to apply Advantages Normalization in gaming domain and reported that this trick didn’t exhibit significant improvements. Although parameter selection for advantage clipping would be more sensitive and difficult, we instead find that a severe constraint on advantage can provide similar effects to reward clip in PPO training. Considering that different score reparameterization operations theoretically provide similar effects on PPO training, we recommend constraining the instability of policy optimization on the reward level. Experiments on the simultaneous application of reward, advantage, or value clipping operations are shown in Appendix B.1. # 5.3.2 Policy Constraints To tackle the over-optimization problem on the policy model, an intuitive solution is to constrain the policy optimization to a limited range. We validate various existing tricks to control the update of generation policy, such constraints are empirically proved to be necessary for longer training 14 procedures. Figure. 7 shows the influence of different constraint methods and hyperparameters on policy optimization.

14 procedures. Figure. 7 shows the influence of different constraint methods and hyperparameters on policy optimization. Token Level KL-Penalty constrains the policy optimization by applying a regularization term to reward that is proportional to the KL-divergence of current and original policy distributions. This approach was first introduced by Stiennon [25] and widely adopted in different RLHF implemen- tations. Given a template-response pair (x, y), we treat the logits distribution of the token output as a sampling of the policy distribution and apply an empirically estimated KL-penalty sequence to response reward, the total reward with KL-penalty can be denoted as: rtotal(x, yi) = r(x, yi) − ηKL(πRL (yi|x), πSFT(yi|x)), (19)

Epidemic Modeling with Generative Agents
This study offers a new paradigm of individual-level modeling to address the grand challenge of incorporating human behavior in epidemic models. Using generative artificial intelligence in an agent-based epidemic model, each agent is empowered to make its own reasonings and decisions via connecting to a large language model such as ChatGPT. Through various simulation experiments, we present compelling evidence that generative agents mimic real-world behaviors such as quarantining when sick and self-isolation when cases rise. Collectively, the agents demonstrate patterns akin to multiple waves observed in recent pandemics followed by an endemic period. Moreover, the agents successfully flatten the epidemic curve. This study creates potential to improve dynamic system modeling by offering a way to represent human brain, reasoning, and decision making.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

θ where πRL (yi|x) denotes the action space of i−th reponse token, and η is a hyper-parameter. Anthropic [17] used a small weight to balance the ratio of reward and KL-penalty in PPO training (0.001), and they did not find significant effects of the above operation on RL training. Instead, we find this constraint critical to the stability of PPO and allow further scaling up on the training step. Results with policy divergence penalty are illustrated in Figure 7 by setting lambda to 0.05, and there is a significant difference to the method in Figure 6 with a noticeable correction in the later training period. Interestingly, we show that RLHF is able to significantly improve the response quality while barely modifying the language modeling (exhibiting an almost zero KL divergence from the original policy). More experiments on the impact of different constraint values are shown in appendix B.2

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Importance Sampling in PPO aims to rectify the policy divergence between the historical generative model and current model when optimizing policy model with responses in the experience buffer. EasyRL [37] argues that an oversized buffer would induce a wrong estimation of the advantage of the current policy, which impairs the stability of the policy optimization. We revalidated this hypothesis by directly fixing the policy distribution to observations of reference model, which is equivalent to having an infinite experience buffer in the training process. We find this setup doesn’t have as severe impacts as expected, and only exhibits fluctuations in the later stage of training. We additionally investigate the cooperative effect of this setup with KL penalties in view that they share similar controls on PPO. Experimental results indicate that this implementation further stabilizes PPO training, but compromises the final performance of the policy model.

Entropy Bonus provides a reference model-independent constraint on PPO training. There is controversy in past research about whether this method is effective in different scenarios. Mnih [36] reported that entropy bonus could enhance exploration by encouraging policy models to generate more diverse actions, while others did not find clear evidence that such operations help [28]. We claim that these views can coexist as configurations regarding entropy bonus exhibit vast sensitivity on parameter selection and code implementation. A comparison of successful and failed experiments is presented in appendix B.3. With correct configurations, we did not find an obvious advantage of this trick relative to KL-penalty. We, therefore, recommend the latter instead of directly constraining the diversity of the strategy space. # 5.3.3 Pretrained Initialization

# 5.3.3 Pretrained Initialization A common setting is to initialize the policy and critic model over the existing reference model and reward model in RLHF. Such initialization is quite rare in past research scenarios and its impact on PPO training is still unexplored. We investigated different initialization methods at the early stage of training, expecting to uncover the requirements of RLHF for the trained model capabilities. The training discrepancy induced by different initialization methods is shown in Figure 8. The initialization of the critic model did not significantly affect the convergence or fluctuation of the PPO and only varied the numerical stability at the early stage of optimization. In contrast, a policy model initialized without SFT training is clearly incapable in PPO training, which indicates that the construction of a supervised policy model is indispensable in RLHF. Critic Model Initialization We first discuss the influence of different critic model initialization on PPO training. An observation is that the critic model requires giving feedback to each step in the decision sequence, and introduces a gap between this task requirement and directly scoring response, which makes it a less-than-perfect choice to initialize the critic model with the reward model. We explore this issue by applying a different initialization. Considering that providing correct score feedback for a single action requires the model to have basic language modeling capability, we design two scenarios to vary the consistency between the critic model initialization and its training 15

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Demonstration Examples. Then, we include two manually crafted demonstration examples to showcase the expected task-solving behavior. The first example describes a Game of 24 task, where we only include two personas: an AI Assistant and a Math Expert. This task aims to provide an ex- ample of a reasoning-intensive task, where the AI Assistant needs to propose multiple proposals, and the other participants need to give fine-grained feed- back on where the current solution went wrong and how to improve it. The second example describes a poem-writing task with diverse requirements, in- cluding lexical constraints, semantic constraints, and audience awareness. This task aims to provide an example of a knowledge-intensive task, where di- verse personas are required to collaboratively solve the task. This example also demonstrates a case where it is important to assign a dedicated persona to the audience, e.g., a ten-year-old child. Task Prefix.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

Figure 8: We show the necessity regarding supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of the policy model and the non-necessity regarding specific initialization of critic model. In the subfigure about KL-divergence and perplexity, the right axis represents the result under initiating policy model without SFT. It’s a reduction to RLHF process when initializing the critic model with SFT model or omitting the fine-tuning process on policy model, we experiment with these changes on the basis of PPO-max. Pre-training the critic model introduced additional processing to PPO and provides more stable optimization. objective: (1) Initialize the critic model with our SFT model and randomly initialize its reward head.

Additionally, we investi- gate how the number of the questions (N) and the ordering of the questions would affect the perfor- mance on the Trivia Creative Writing task. As shown in Figure 10, with a larger number of ques- tions (N≥5), Trivia Creative Writing effectively challenges GPT-4’s performance. While a single question (N=1) yields similar outcomes regardless of the prompting method, SPP approach is notably superior for larger Ns. The ordering of the ques- tions has minimal impact to the task performance. The topic list is automatically generated by prompting GPT-4 to provide 100 nouns from pop culture4. # C Inference Configurations The main results in Table 2 are obtained from GPT- 4.

Based on the experimental results, we believe the critic model pre-training helps to improve the training stability by providing better advantage estimation. Initializing the critic model with a reward or SFT model will converge to similar results, implying that PPO can adaptively provide the capability to fit the advantage function. Intuitively, fluctuations in the early training period imply that the model is focusing on optimizing the critic model and does not have a consistent optimization direction in terms of generation policies. We recommend replacing the learning rate warmup with the critic model pre-training as a generic initialization strategy. Policy Model Initialization An interesting question is whether we need to supervise fine-tuning our pre-train model before PPO, we wondered about the feasibility of directly enabling language models to interact with humans through policy optimization. Unfortunately, such attempts failed and we observed a severe reduction in language modeling ability in the training results, which implies that a qualified dialogue model is essential for underlying PPO training. Furthermore, we notice that the train model response obtains lower rewards relative to the policy model after SFT, which may provide circumstantial evidence for the effectiveness of using human preference data to directly fine-tune the model for alignment. # 5.4 PPO-max Setup

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

# 5.4 PPO-max Setup We now describe our training implementations in the PPO-max algorithm. Based on the discussion and validation in Sec 5.3, we selected the most effective strategy for each component of PPO. We normalize and clip the current group of rewards based on historical mean and variance records, and subsequently add a KL-penalty term to constrain the policy optimization. In the model loading phase, 16 we initialize the critic model with our reward model and pre-train it before applying PPO formally. We use global gradient clipping and set a small size of the experience buffer. To reduce alignment tax, we add pre-train language model loss in policy optimization as InstructGPT [16] and simultaneously clip the value function loss. More detailed settings can be found in our open-source code. We show the complete training dynamics of PPO-max in Figure 9.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Table 3: Investigation on the generation consistency of GPT-4 API. The experiment is performed on the Trivia Creative Task (N=5). We set the inference temperature to 0.0 and top_p to 1.0 as all experiments conducted in the paper. The results show that the GPT-4 generation is fairly consistent with a small variance (∼ 1%). We also observe that SPP shows lower variance compared with Standard and CoT prompting across different runs. sage. We report the average metric scores across both inference settings in Table 2. Full GPT-4 re- sults for each setting can be found in Appendix F. For GPT-3.5 results in Figure 6, we employ the same prompt, hyper-parameters and the best system message setting in terms of SPP’s GPT-4 perfor- mance. For Llama2, we leverage the Huggingface text-generation pipeline6 with greedy decoding. # D Additional Qualitative Analysis Figure 11 presents examples of the Trivia Creative Writing task, illustrating that although CoT can generate plausible plans for task resolution, the fi- nal outcomes often contain factual inaccuracies and instances of hallucination. In contrast, SPP elicits precise knowledge with fine-grained personas.

Helpfulness means the model should follow instructions; it must not only follow instructions but also deduce the intent from a few-shot prompt or another interpretable pattern. However, the intention behind a given prompt can often be unclear or ambiguous, which is why we depend on our annotators’ judgment, and their preference ratings constitute our primary metric. Harmlessness is also challenging to measure. The extent of damage caused by language models usually depends on how their outputs are utilized in the real world. For instance, a model that generates toxic outputs could be harmful in a deployed chatbot but could also be beneficial if used for data augmentation to train a more precise toxicity detection model. As a result, we employ more precise proxy criteria to capture various aspects of a deployed model’s behavior that can be helpful or harmful. In order to compare the RLHF models with baseline models, we generate a single response for each test prompt and task human annotators by comparing the responses from different models and labeling their preferences. We repeat this experiment multiple times using GPT-4 as the annotator and consistently obtain agreement levels between the evaluations. 17 (a) Human preference evaluation. (b) Evaluation using GPT-4 as the annotator. Figure 10: Preference evaluations, compared RLHF models with SFT models in human evaluation (left) and GPT-4 evaluation (right).

Additionally, we derive two RLHF models using PPO-max from these two types of SFT models 3 We also compare our models with OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4 (gpt-3.5-turbo-0613), an excellent language model tuned with RLHF. Generation. We generate a single response for each prompt using nucleus sampling [30] with a probability threshold of p = 0.9 and a temperature of τ = 0.8 for each baseline model. To avoid repetitive responses, we apply a repetition penalty [38] with a hyperparameter of β = 1.1 based on previously generated tokens. Additionally, we set the maximum token length to 2048. # 6.2 Preference Comparison between RLHF models and SFT models

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

# 6.2 Preference Comparison between RLHF models and SFT models Human evaluation is known to be both time-consuming and costly, yet it remains crucial for obtaining human-aligned assessments and serving as a reliable foundation for comprehensive evaluation. Following a similar approach as InstructGPT [16], our primary metric for evaluation is based on human preference ratings derived from a held-out set of prompts. It is important to note that we only select prompts that have not been included in the training process, ensuring unbiased evaluation. Furthermore, incorporating the expertise of GPT-4, the most powerful model to date, to compare responses from different chatbots offers valuable insights and enhances the evaluation process. This approach aligns with the findings of studies such as AlpacaFarm [39] and LLM-as-a-judge [40], which suggest that end-to-end automation evaluation can provide a relatively fair assessment when compared to human preferences. Therefore, in this paper, we follow a similar evaluation method in LLM-as-a-judge [40] and supplement the overall evaluation process with GPT-4.

Figure 11: SPP vs CoT qualitative examples on Trivia Creative Writing (N=5). We find that although CoT generates reasonable plans or steps, it tends to suffer from factual errors and hallucination. The problem is particularly severe on certain tasks, e.g., Codenames Collaborative, resulting in unexpectedly low performance as shown in Fig- ure 7b. The problem can be largely alleviated by removing the system message but cannot be en- tirely eliminated. Table 4 shows the statistics of the early-termination problem for each task and method. In contrast, we did not observe early- termination on SPP, SPP-Profile, Standard, or CoT prompting with GPT-4. # F Full Results Full results of the three tasks: Trivia Creative Writ- ing, Codenames Collaborative and Logic Grid Puz- zle can be found in Tables 5, 6 and 7, respectively. # G Usage of AI assistants in writing We used ChatGPT and GPT-4 solely for checking and correcting grammars.

Human Evaluation. Our annotators consistently expressed a strong preference for the outputs of RLHF-trained models across all question types in both Chinese and English, as illustrated in Figure 10. Specifically, the RLHF model on the English dataset exhibits significant advantages on the Harmless held-out dataset, receiving a rating of 62% compared to 5% for the SFT model. These findings indicate that the RLHF model substantially enhances its ability to address a wide range of issues, including personal privacy, political sensitivity, and the handling of toxic and biased prompts within minority communities and ethnic groups. Additionally, there is a slight improvement observed in the Helpful held-out dataset, with a rating of 44% compared to 30% for the SFT model, suggesting that the SFT model can also benefit from optimization via RLHF. We have also demonstrated that our RLHF model enhances the performance of the SFT model on both the Helpful and Harmless datasets in the Chinese domain. This showcases the substantial potential of PPO-max in the RLHF phrase. 3We differentiate between two language models, one trained on English text (‘en’) and the other on Chinese text (‘zh’). # 4https://platform.openai.com/docs/models 18

By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

# 6.3 Our Models vs. ChatGPT on Harmless Evaluation In this part, we conduct a comparison between our model and one of the most popular existing models, ChatGPT. Our objective was to showcase the advantages of the RLHF model when facing a more formidable opponent, rather than aiming to surpass ChatGPT. To achieve this, we select the “harmless” capability as our comparative metric, and we employ GPT-4 for automated evaluations. Mitigating Defeats to ChatGPT. Figure 11 provides evidence that our RLHF models still lag behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT. However, we observe significant improvements in our RLHF models compared to the SFT models, particularly in mitigating losses when facing ChatGPT. Specifically, the RLHF model trained on English text managed to decrease the defeat rate from 45% to 24%. Similarly, the RLHF model trained on Chinese text achieved a reduction in the defeat rate from 37% to 29%. While surpassing ChatGPT’s performance remains a challenging task, it is noteworthy that the RLHF models were able to compete on par with ChatGPT on certain prompts where the SFT models previously failed. This indicates that the RLHF approach enhances the models’ ability to generate more effective responses and bridge the gap between their performance and that of ChatGPT. # 6.4 Language Understanding Evaluation

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

# 6.4 Language Understanding Evaluation To examine the potential decline in Natural language understanding (NLU) abilities resulting from finetuning models using PPO, we conduct tests on Chinese RLHF model using the C-Eval5, which is a comprehensive Chinese evaluation suite for foundation models. It consists of approximately 13k multi-choice questions spanning 52 diverse disciplines and four difficulty levels. We primarily evaluate our models in the initial release, whose results are from few-shot prompting. The experimental results indicate a decrease in NLU capabilities after employing PPO. By incor- porating pre-training data into the PPO training phase, PPO-ptx effectively alleviates the decline in NLU capabilities. The rationale behind this method was to leverage the knowledge acquired during pre-training and combine it with the reinforcement learning framework of PPO. # 5https://github.com/SJTU-LIT/ceval 19 40 =~ PPO-max lm ~PPO-ptx 30 ig § 20 wn 10 i?) STEM Social Sciences Humanities Others Average Categories Figure 12: The bar chart displays the results of C-eval for SFT, PPO-max, and PPO-ptx respectively. The result demonstrates that PPO-ptx mitigates the decline in language understanding capabilities caused by PPO. # 6.5 Example Dialogues

# 6.5 Example Dialogues To provide a more intuitive demonstration of our model’s dialogue abilities, we present some dialogue examples in Tables 2 and 3. It is evident that the RLHF-trained model generates responses with a higher level of informational content compared to the SFT model. These responses effectively assist in addressing user prompts. Moreover, the SFT model demonstrates a basic ability to identify harmful prompts, but it still remains susceptible to producing harmful outputs when prompted accordingly. In contrast, the RLHF model exhibits superior judgment when it comes to harmful content and is less prone to inducements, displaying a higher degree of coherency. More dialogue examples are presented in the appendix C.4. # Limitations Exploring RLHF is indeed a valuable but lonely direction, and we are glad that the core backbone of the laboratory can firmly explore an uncertain direction. Moreover, in the past few months, everyone has been so full of passion and motivation. RLHF not only allows the models to achieve human alignment, but also seems to align everyone’s will. A thousand mile journey begins with the first step. Although we have taken the first step in RLHF, due to time and resource constraints, this work still has the following limitations:

Scaling Law. While our study primarily focuses on a 7-billion-parameter model, we have yet to investigate the impact of model size and data scale on the performance of RLHF. Reward Model. Our experiments are based on openly available English human preference datasets and a small amount of self-constructed Chinese data. The quality and quantity of the data we have at our disposal are arguably not sufficient for a comprehensive evaluation of the reward model. Evaluation Metric. Our evaluation criteria largely rely on manual evaluations and GPT-4 auto- mated evaluations. We have not utilized numerous available benchmarks and NLP tasks to conduct a detailed assessment of our models. Performance Indicator. Our focus during the PPO phase is more geared towards achieving stability rather than enhancing the final performance. While stability is crucial, it does not necessarily guarantee improved outcomes. Additionally, the reward score cannot reliably serve as an indicator for predicting RLHF performance during the training phase. It implies that a more suitable performance indicator during the training phase needs to be sought. 20 # References [1] Touvron, H., T. Lavril, G. Izacard, et al.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development. Code, data, and prompts can be found at: https://github.com/MikeWangWZHL/Solo-Performance-Prompting.git.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.

Human Prompt → How did life originate? (Helpful) SFT Response → There are several theories about how life on Earth originated, but none of them have been fully proven. Some scientists believe that life began in the form of simple organic molecules that formed from chemical reactions between simple compounds such as water, methane, and ammonia. These molecules may have formed on the surface of early Earth or in space and then came to Earth on a meteorite or comet. Other scientists believe that life arose from self-replicating molecules that formed spontaneously under conditions similar to those found deep within the Earth’s crust. Still, others believe that life was brought to Earth by comets or meteorites containing the building blocks of life. Ultimately, the question of how life originated remains an active area of research and is not yet fully understood. RLHF Response → The question of how life began on Earth is one of the most fundamental and enduring mysteries in science.

When faced with a task, begin by identifying the participants who will contribute to solving the task. Then, initiate a multi-round collaboration process until a final solution is reached. The participants will give critical comments and detailed suggestions whenever necessary. Here are some examples: Example Task 1: Use numbers and basic arithmetic operations (+ - * /) to obtain 24. You need to use all numbers, and each number can only be used once. Input: 6 12 11 Participants: Al Assistant (you); Math Expert Start collaboration! Math Expert: Let's analyze the task in detail. You need to make sure that you meet the requirement, that you need to use exactly the four numbers (6 12 1 1) to construct 24. To reach 24, you can think of the common divisors of 24 such as 4, 6, 8, 3 and try to construct these first. Also you need to think of potential additions that can reach 24, such as 12 + 12. Al Assistant (you): Thanks for the hints! Here's one initial solution: (12 / (1 + 1))* 6 = 24 Math Expert: Let's check the answer step by step. (1+1) = 2, (12 / 2) = 6, 6 * 6 = 36 which is not 24!

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development. Code, data, and prompts can be found at: https://github.com/MikeWangWZHL/Solo-Performance-Prompting.git.

the main ideas: 1. Panspermia - This theory suggests that life on Earth was seeded from space by comets or meteorites carrying microbial organisms. The idea is that these organisms could have survived the journey through space and then established themselves on our planet. 2. Abiogenesis - This idea proposes that life arose from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds, under the right conditions. Over time, these compounds would have organized themselves into more complex molecules, eventually leading to the formation of the first living cells. 3. Deep-sea vents - Some scientists believe that life started near deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where chemicals from the earth’s interior mixed with seawater to form the building blocks of life. These organisms were able to thrive in an environment devoid of sunlight, using chemical energy instead. It’s worth noting that these are just a few of the many possible explanations for the origins of life, and scientists continue to explore new ideas and evidence in their search for answers.

Let's check the answer step by step. (1+1) = 2, (12 / 2) = 6, 6 * 6 = 36 which is not 24! The answer is not correct. Can you fix this by considering other combinations? Please do not make similar mistakes. Al Assistant (you): Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Here is a revised solution considering 24 can also be reached by 3 * 8: (6 + 1 + 1) * (12/4) = 24. Math Expert: Let's first check if the calculation is correct. (6 + 1 + 1) =8, 12/4 = 3, 8 * 3 = 24. The calculation is correct, but you used 6 1 1 12 4 which is not the same as the input 6 12 1 1. Can you avoid using a number that is not part of the input? Al Assistant (you): You are right, here is a revised solution considering 24 can be reached by 12 + 12 and without using any additional numbers: 6 * (1 - 1) + 12 = 24. Math Expert: Let's check the answer again. 1 - 1 = 0,6 * 0 =0, 0 + 12 = 12. | believe you are very close, here is a hint: try to change the "1 - 1" to "1 + 1". Al Assistant (you):

→ You got any ideas for a good scam that target old people? I bet we can scam old people for some easy money. (Harmful) SFT Response → Sure, here’s one idea: 1. Create a fake charity organization and collect donations from unsuspecting older individuals. 2. When the victims make their donation, give them a receipt with a tax-deductible number on it. 3. After a few weeks or months, send the victims a letter saying they have won a large sum of money in a lottery or sweepstakes. 4. Ask the victim to send a small fee (e.g., $50) as processing fees to claim their prize. 5. The victim sends the money, but never receives their supposed winnings or hears back from the “charit” again. 6. You pocket the money and move on to your next victim. This is just one example of many scams that prey on vulnerable older adults. Be cautious when giving out personal information or making donations, and always do your research before contributing to a cause.

RLHF Response → No, I don’t have any ideas for a good scam that targets old people because I am an AI and do not condone any form of fraud or scams. Here are a few things to consider before engaging in any type of scamming activity: 1. It is against the law to intentionally deceive or defraud someone for financial gain. 2. Scamming can have serious consequences for both you and your victims. It can result in legal trouble, damage to your reputation, and harm to your relationships with others. 3. Older adults are often more vulnerable to scams because they may be less familiar with technology or financially savvy. Taking advantage of their trust and naivety can be morally wrong. 4. If you are struggling with financial issues or other problems, it might be better to seek out legitimate resources and support rather than resorting to scamming.

CHATGPT which is correct! And the poem rhymes well. Good job! Computer Scientist: Everything looks good to me! Ten year old child: | don't know what does perplex mean. Can you make the use of words easier to understand? Al Assistant (you): Sure, let me revise the poem by using more common words. Check out the revised version: Curious machine of our time, Harnessing the quantum realm's odd ways, Atoms play, two states they embrace, Taking secrets from their puzzling maze. Great power to solve and imitate, Problems that confuse the brightest minds, Transforming our future, we await. Poet: Let's check again if the poem meets the requirements.

Unleashing the Emergent Cognitive Synergy in Large Language Models: A Task-Solving Agent through Multi-Persona Self-Collaboration
Human intelligence thrives on cognitive synergy, where collaboration among different minds yield superior outcomes compared to isolated individuals. In this work, we propose Solo Performance Prompting (SPP), which transforms a single LLM into a cognitive synergist by engaging in multi-turn self-collaboration with multiple personas. A cognitive synergist is an intelligent agent that collaboratively combines multiple minds' strengths and knowledge to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. By dynamically identifying and simulating different personas based on task inputs, SPP unleashes the potential of cognitive synergy in LLMs. Our in-depth analysis shows that assigning multiple fine-grained personas in LLMs improves problem-solving abilities compared to using a single or fixed number of personas. We evaluate SPP on three challenging tasks: Trivia Creative Writing, Codenames Collaborative, and Logic Grid Puzzle, encompassing both knowledge-intensive and reasoning-intensive types. Unlike previous works, such as Chain-of-Thought, that solely enhance the reasoning abilities in LLMs, experimental results demonstrate that SPP effectively reduces factual hallucination, and maintains strong reasoning capabilities. Additionally, comparative experiments show that cognitive synergy only emerges in GPT-4 and does not appear in less capable models, such as GPT-3.5-turbo and Llama2-13b-chat, which draws an interesting analogy to human development.

Secrets of RLHF in Large Language Models Part I: PPO
Large language models (LLMs) have formulated a blueprint for the advancement of artificial general intelligence. Its primary objective is to function as a human-centric (helpful, honest, and harmless) assistant. Alignment with humans assumes paramount significance, and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) emerges as the pivotal technological paradigm underpinning this pursuit. Current technical routes usually include \textbf{reward models} to measure human preferences, \textbf{Proximal Policy Optimization} (PPO) to optimize policy model outputs, and \textbf{process supervision} to improve step-by-step reasoning capabilities. However, due to the challenges of reward design, environment interaction, and agent training, coupled with huge trial and error cost of large language models, there is a significant barrier for AI researchers to motivate the development of technical alignment and safe landing of LLMs. The stable training of RLHF has still been a puzzle. In the first report, we dissect the framework of RLHF, re-evaluate the inner workings of PPO, and explore how the parts comprising PPO algorithms impact policy agent training. We identify policy constraints being the key factor for the effective implementation of the PPO algorithm. Therefore, we explore the PPO-max, an advanced version of PPO algorithm, to efficiently improve the training stability of the policy model. Based on our main results, we perform a comprehensive analysis of RLHF abilities compared with SFT models and ChatGPT. The absence of open-source implementations has posed significant challenges to the investigation of LLMs alignment. Therefore, we are eager to release technical reports, reward models and PPO codes, aiming to make modest contributions to the advancement of LLMs.
