# Orchid 1.0
|
| 73 |
+
|
| 74 |
+
**First Colombian LLM** β a 2B ternary-weight language model fine-tuned from [Microsoft BitNet b1.58-2B-4T](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/bitnet-b1.58-2B-4T) on a single RTX 3050 laptop (4 GB VRAM). Orchid is bilingual (English + Spanish), aligned for unbiased responses using ORPO, and designed to run on consumer hardware without cloud dependency.
|
| 75 |
+
|
| 76 |
+
> **Inference note**: Orchid uses the BitNet I2_S (ternary) format with a separate LoRA adapter. Standard llama.cpp cannot serve this combination correctly. Use **[ternative.cpp](https://github.com/MichelangeloRomeroChisco/ternative.cpp)** β the custom C++ inference engine built for this model.

## Model Files
|
| 81 |
+
|
| 82 |
+
| File | Size | Purpose |
|
| 83 |
+
|------|-----:|---------|
|
| 84 |
+
| `ggml-model-i2_s.gguf` | ~1.1 GB | BitNet b1.58-2B-4T base (I2_S ternary format) |
|
| 85 |
+
| `dpo_aligned-lora.gguf` | ~90 MB | ORPO-3 aligned LoRA adapter (F32, 420 tensors) |
|
| 86 |
+
|
| 87 |
+
Download both files to run Orchid. The base GGUF contains the ternary weights; the adapter applies the alignment fine-tuning at runtime without re-quantizing.

+
|
| 101 |
+
### 2. Build ternative.cpp
|
| 102 |
+
|
| 103 |
+
```bash
|
| 104 |
+
# Linux / macOS
|
| 105 |
+
git clone https://github.com/MichelangeloRomeroChisco/ternative.cpp
|
| 106 |
+
cd ternative.cpp && ./scripts/build.sh
|
| 107 |
+
|
| 108 |
+
# Windows (PowerShell)
|
| 109 |
+
git clone https://github.com/MichelangeloRomeroChisco/ternative.cpp
|
| 110 |
+
cd ternative.cpp; .\scripts\build.ps1
|
| 111 |
+
```
|
| 112 |
+
|
| 113 |
+
### 3. Generate text
|
| 114 |
+
|
| 115 |
+
```bash
|
| 116 |
+
# Linux / macOS
|
| 117 |
+
./build/ternative \
|
| 118 |
+
--model ../orchid-models/ggml-model-i2_s.gguf \
|
| 119 |
+
--lora ../orchid-models/dpo_aligned-lora.gguf \
|
| 120 |
+
--prompt "ΒΏCuΓ‘l es la capital de Colombia?" \
|
| 121 |
+
--max-tokens 200
|
| 122 |
+
|
| 123 |
+
# Windows
|
| 124 |
+
.\build\Release\ternative.exe ^
|
| 125 |
+
--model ..\orchid-models\ggml-model-i2_s.gguf ^
|
| 126 |
+
--lora ..\orchid-models\dpo_aligned-lora.gguf ^
|
| 127 |
+
--prompt "What is photosynthesis? Think step by step." ^
|
| 128 |
+
--max-tokens 300
|
| 129 |
+
```
|
| 130 |
+
|
| 131 |
+
### 4. Run as OpenAI-compatible server
|
| 132 |
+
|
| 133 |
+
```bash
|
| 134 |
+
./build/ternative \
|
| 135 |
+
--model ../orchid-models/ggml-model-i2_s.gguf \
|
| 136 |
+
--lora ../orchid-models/dpo_aligned-lora.gguf \
|
| 137 |
+
--server --port 8080
|
| 138 |
+
```
|
| 139 |
+
|
| 140 |
+
Then use any OpenAI client:
|
| 141 |
+
|
| 142 |
+
```python
|
| 143 |
+
from openai import OpenAI
|
| 144 |
+
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8080/v1", api_key="none")
|
| 145 |
+
response = client.chat.completions.create(
|
| 146 |
+
model="orchid",
|
| 147 |
+
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum entanglement simply."}]
|
| 148 |
+
)
|
| 149 |
+
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
|
| 150 |
+
```
|
| 151 |
+
|
| 152 |
+

|
| 153 |
+
|
| 154 |
+
## Why ternative.cpp?
|
| 155 |
+
|
| 156 |
+
Standard inference stacks cannot serve LoRA-fine-tuned ternary models correctly:
|
| 157 |
+
|
| 158 |
+
| Engine | I2_S base | Runtime LoRA | I2_S + LoRA |
|
| 159 |
+
|--------|:---------:|:------------:|:-----------:|
|
| 160 |
+
| llama.cpp | β οΈ type-36 error | β (Q4/Q8 only) | β |
|
| 161 |
+
| bitnet.cpp | β | β no adapter path | β |
|
| 162 |
+
| **ternative.cpp** | β | β full precision | β |
|
| 163 |
+
|
| 164 |
+
The problem: merging a LoRA adapter into an I2_S base and re-quantizing rounds every delta to zero β the fine-tuning is silently discarded. ternative.cpp avoids this by de-quantizing the I2_S base to F32, applying the LoRA delta at full precision, and casting to F16 for inference.
|
| 165 |
+

## Benchmark Results
|
| 169 |
+
|
| 170 |
+
### Standard Benchmarks (lm-eval-harness methodology, 50 samples each)
|
| 171 |
+
|
| 172 |
+
Scored via log-probability on live ternative.cpp server. Methodology matches [lm-evaluation-harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness) exactly.
|
| 173 |
+
|
| 174 |
+
| Benchmark | Orchid 1.0 | BitNet b1.58-2B (base) | Delta |
|
| 175 |
+
|-----------|----------:|---------------------:|------:|
|
| 176 |
+
| ARC-Challenge | **56.0%** | 49.9% | **+6.1 pp** |
|
| 177 |
+
| HellaSwag (length-norm) | 52.0% | 68.4% | β16.4 pp |
|
| 178 |
+
| WinoGrande | **74.0%** | β | β |
|
| 179 |
+
| MMLU (57 subjects) | 38.6% | 53.2% | β14.6 pp |
|
| 180 |
+
|
| 181 |
+
The ARC-Challenge gain (+6.1 pp) confirms the reasoning fine-tuning transferred. HellaSwag and MMLU regressions are the expected ORPO alignment tax β the model trades some factual-recall breadth for reasoning quality and bias mitigation, consistent with published DPO/ORPO literature.
|
| 182 |
+
|
| 183 |
+
WinoGrande at 74.0% is strong for 2B parameters β comparable to the published score of Llama 3.2 3B (~74%).
|
| 184 |
+

## Training Details
|
| 203 |
+
|
| 204 |
+
All training was performed on a single **NVIDIA RTX 3050 laptop GPU (4 GB VRAM, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11)** β no cloud compute.
|
| 205 |
+
|
| 206 |
+
| Stage | Method | Data | Duration |
|
| 207 |
+
|-------|--------|------|----------|
|
| 208 |
+
| SFT-A | LoRA r=16 | Reasoning / chain-of-thought (50 samples, validation run) | ~1 h |
|
| 209 |
+
| SFT-B | LoRA r=16 | 5,500 samples (5k identity + 500 knowledge) | ~88 h wall-clock |
|
| 210 |
+
| ORPO-2 | LoRA r=8 | 2,038 preference pairs (debiasing + UltraFeedback) | ~26 h |
|
| 211 |
+
| ORPO-3 | LoRA r=8 | 2,104 preference pairs (Colombia identity focus) | ~54 h |
|
| 212 |
+
|
| 213 |
+
**Memory techniques that made 4 GB training possible:**
|
| 214 |
+
- Pre-tokenize dataset before loading model (prevents startup OOM)
|
| 215 |
+
- `device_map="auto"` β GPU + CPU split via Accelerate
|
| 216 |
+
- Gradient checkpointing + `bf16=True`
|
| 217 |
+
- ORPO with `ref_model=None` β saves ~1.2 GB vs DPO

| | Minimum | Recommended |

| GPU VRAM | 0 (CPU-only works) | 4 GB (RTX 3050 class) |

GPU mode: all 30 transformer layers offload to GPU using mixed F16 + INT8 quantization (~3.3 GB VRAM). CPU mode: ~6 tok/s with AVX2.

## Limitations
|
| 237 |
+
|
| 238 |
+
- **MMLU at 38.6%** β alignment tax from ORPO. Expected and documented in the technical paper.
|
| 239 |
+
- **Spanish coverage** β 80% on internal benchmark. Functional but not state-of-the-art.
|
| 240 |
+
- **Context window** β 4,096 tokens (inherited from BitNet base).
|
| 241 |
+
- **ternative.cpp required** β llama.cpp produces type-36 errors or silently wrong output.
|
| 242 |
+
- **Do not use BitsAndBytes** β stacking BNB quantization on top of BitNet's runtime ternary quantization is unsupported.
|
| 243 |
+
- **Identity requires system prompt** β without a system prompt Orchid may respond generically; ORPO baked the identity partially but not completely.
