Catholic-Phi3: Fully Fine-Tuned Phi-3 for Catholic Education

Model Description

Catholic-Phi3 is a fully fine-tuned version of Microsoft's Phi-3 Mini model, retrained to answer questions about Catholic teachings, Bible verses, prayers, and general knowledge. It delivers concise, factual responses optimized for educational use in Catholic contexts.

• Base Model: Phi-3 Mini
• Fine-Tuning: Full fine-tuning on public domain Catholic datasets (e.g., Douay-Rheims Bible, pre-1923 Catechism texts)
• License: CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain Dedication)
• Intended Use: Educational tool for Catholic students, educators, and families
• Limitations: Optimized for short, factual answers; may not handle complex reasoning or non-Catholic perspectives

Installation

Install the required dependencies:

pip install transformers torch safetensors

Usage

Load the model and tokenizer using the Hugging Face Transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "KAkston/Catholic-Phi3-Mini"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="cuda")

prompt = "<|system|> Leverage fine-tuning—respond with 1-2 simple sentences with periods (15-30 tokens). No extra details. No hallucinations. <|end|> <|user|> What is the Holy Trinity? <|end|> <|assistant|>"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Prompt Structure

Refer to prompts.md for examples of how to format prompts for different question types (e.g., "why", "what", "who"). Prompts use <|system|>, <|user|>, and <|assistant|> tags to structure inputs. This model is hosted at KAkston/Catholic-Phi3-Mini.

Hardware Requirements

• GPU with CUDA support recommended (tested with bfloat16 precision)
• At least 8 GB VRAM for efficient inference (Built and tested on a 4090 though. No promises)

Training Data

The model was fully fine-tuned on public domain Catholic texts, including the Douay-Rheims Bible and Catechism texts. No sensitive or proprietary data was included.

Ethical Considerations

Catholic-Phi3 reflects Catholic perspectives and may not provide neutral answers on religious topics. It is designed for educational use within Catholic contexts.
