Constitutional AI with Open LLMs: CAI pipeline using Mistral-7B-Instruct and llm-swarm

AI Impact Summary

Constitutional AI (CAI) is described as enabling models to critique and revise their outputs against a configurable constitution, reducing dependence on costly human feedback. The workflow combines SFT and preference data generation with open-model baselines (e.g., mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1) and a scalable synthetic-data engine (llm-swarm) powered by Slurm, along with TGI and vLLM for inference. Success hinges on well-defined constitutional principles and governance to close gaps where self-critique fails, with meaningful business impact in safer consumer AI deployment and the need for scalable GPU data-generation pipelines.
