+## Instruction format
+
+In order to leverage instruction fine-tuning, your prompt should be surrounded by `[INST]` and `[/INST]` tokens. The very first instruction should begin with a begin of sentence id. The next instructions should not. The assistant generation will be ended by the end-of-sentence token id.
+
+E.g.
+```
+text = "<s>[INST] What is your favourite condiment? [/INST]"
+"Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!</s> "
+"[INST] Do you have mayonnaise recipes? [/INST]"
+```
