6 Multi-Turn Dialogue

  1. What did LIMA show about multi-turn dialogue?
    Trained on no dialogues, it still held surprisingly coherent conversations but failed within 3 turns in 6 of 10 chats. Adding just 30 dialogue chains raised excellent responses from 45.2% to 76.1% and cut failures from 15 of 42 turns to 1 of 46, again suggesting the ability comes from pretraining.
