Do I Just splice instructions and text together to test?

[waywayliu]

I use lora to fine-tune llama, and I have two inputs for training, using instruction and text.
And after quantization using "Instruction mode with Alpaca" I only have one input, so how do I test it, do I just splice the instruction and text together?
Thank you!

Alpaca uses special formatting to separate instructions and data. You can see the templates used for tloen/alpaca-lora. There are two variants, one with just instruction, and one with instruction and input.

Yes, they are spliced together for the token input to the model during training and for generating. When generating, you stop at the EOS special token or if the model generates another ### Instruction: prefix.
