Phi-4-Mini-Instruct Overview

Description:

This container houses the Phi-4-Mini-Instruct, which is a lightweight open model built upon synthetic data and filtered publicly available websites - with a focus on high-quality, reasoning dense data. The model belongs to the Phi-4 model family and supports 128K token context length. The model underwent an enhancement process, incorporating both supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization to support precise instruction adherence and robust safety measures.

The container components are ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
