## 🛠️ How Yehia was made?
Yehia is trained using **Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)** —a method that refines its answers by comparing and selecting the best responses. Its development follows the **3C3H** metric, prioritizing:

- **Correctness ✅:** Accurate information to build trust.  
- **Completeness 📚:** Full, well-rounded answers.  
- **Conciseness ✂️:** Clear, to-the-point responses.  
- **Helpfulness 🤝:** Always aiming to support and uplift.  
- **Honesty 💬:** Transparent, straightforward communication.  
- **Harmlessness ❤️:** Promoting kindness and safety.

And the Judge model of our answer was none other than `claude-sonnet-3.5` 🔍

## 🚀 Getting Started
To start using Yehia, you can easily load the model with the `transformers` library:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch

model_name = "Navid-AI/Yehia-7B-preview"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, attn_implementation="flash_attention_2", device_map="auto")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "أنت يحيى، ذكاءٌ اصطناعيٌّ طورته شركة 'نفيد'، متخصصٌ في التفكير المنطقي والتحليل الدقيق. مهمتك إلهام المستخدمين ودعمهم في رحلتهم نحو التعلّم، النمو، وتحقيق أهدافهم من خلال تقديم حلولٍ ذكيةٍ ومدروسة."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "مرحباً يا يحيى! كيف حالك اليوم؟"}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True).to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

**Note:** If `flash_attention_2` is giving you any problems just remove it.

## 🌟 What Can Yehia Do?
- **Explain Concepts 💡:** Break down educational topics in Arabic to help learners understand easily.
- **Engage in Conversations 🗣️:** Offer friendly and supportive chats that uplift users.
