While benchmarking open-source models, we have observed a disparity between the
results generated by our pipeline and those reported in public sources (e.g.
OpenCompass). Upon conducting a more in-depth investigation of this difference,
we have discovered that various models may employ different prompts,
post-processing strategies, and sampling techniques, potentially resulting in
significant variations in the outcomes. Our prompt and post-processing strategy
remains consistent with the original benchmark, and greedy decoding is employed
during evaluation without any post-processing for the generated content. For
scores that were not reported by the original authors (including scores reported
with different settings), we try to get results with our pipeline.
To evaluate the model's capability extensively, we adopted the methodology
outlined in Llama2. Specifically, we included PIQA, SIQA, HellaSwag, WinoGrande,
ARC, OBQA, and CSQA to assess common sense reasoning. SquAD, QuAC, and BoolQ
were incorporated to evaluate reading comprehension. CSQA was exclusively tested
using a 7-shot setup, while all other tests were conducted with a 0-shot
configuration. Additionally, we introduced GSM8K (8-shot@1), MATH (4-shot@1),
HumanEval (0-shot@1), and MBPP (3-shot@1) under the category "Math & Code". Due
to technical constraints, we did not test Falcon-180 on QuAC and OBQA; the score
is derived by averaging the scores on the remaining tasks. Since the scores for
these two tasks are generally lower than the average, we believe that
Falcon-180B's performance was not underestimated.

We evaluated various benchmarks using both zero-shot and few-shot methods, except for TruthfulQA. Generally, the zero-shot approach is more common in chat models. Our evaluation strategy involves generating responses while following instructions explicitly or implicitly (such as using few-shot examples). We then isolate relevant answers from the generated text. Some models are not well-suited to produce output in the specific format required by instructions in few datasets, which leads to suboptimal results.
*: C-Eval results are evaluated on the validation datasets
### Quantized Chat Model Performance
We also provide both 4-bit (AWQ) and 8-bit (GPTQ) quantized Yi chat models. Evaluation results on various benchmarks have shown that the quantized models have negligible losses. Additionally, they reduce the memory footprint size. After testing different configurations of prompts and generation lengths, we highly recommend following the guidelines in the memory footprint table below when selecting a device to run our models.
| | batch=1 | batch=4 | batch=16 | batch=32 |
| ----------------------- | ------- | ------- | -------- | -------- |
| Yi-34B-Chat | 65GiB | 68GiB | 76GiB | >80GiB |
| Yi-34B-Chat-8bits(GPTQ) | 35GiB | 37GiB | 46GiB | 58GiB |
| Yi-34B-Chat-4bits(AWQ) | 19GiB | 20GiB | 30GiB | 40GiB |
| Yi-6B-Chat | 12GiB | 13GiB | 15GiB | 18GiB |
| Yi-6B-Chat-8bits(GPTQ) | 7GiB | 8GiB | 10GiB | 14GiB |
| Yi-6B-Chat-4bits(AWQ) | 4GiB | 5GiB | 7GiB | 10GiB |
Note: All the numbers in the table represent the minimum recommended memory for running models of the corresponding size.
### Limitations of Chat Model
The released chat model has undergone exclusive training using Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). Compared to other standard chat models, our model produces more diverse responses, making it suitable for various downstream tasks, such as creative scenarios. Furthermore, this diversity is expected to enhance the likelihood of generating higher quality responses, which will be advantageous for subsequent Reinforcement Learning (RL) training.
However, this higher diversity might amplify certain existing issues, including:
- **Hallucination**: This refers to the model generating factually incorrect or nonsensical information. With the model's responses being more varied, there's a higher chance of hallucination that are not based on accurate data or logical reasoning.
- **Non-determinism in re-generation**: When attempting to regenerate or sample responses, inconsistencies in the outcomes may occur. The increased diversity can lead to varying results even under similar input conditions.
- **Cumulative Error**: This occurs when errors in the model's responses compound over time. As the model generates more diverse responses, the likelihood of small inaccuracies building up into larger errors increases, especially in complex tasks like extended reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, etc.
To achieve more coherent and consistent responses, it is advisable to adjust generation configuration parameters such as`temperature`,`top_p`, or`top_k`. These adjustments can help in the balance between creativity and coherence in the model's outputs.
## Usage
Feel free to [create an issue](https://github.com/01-ai/Yi/issues/new) if you
encounter any problem when using the **Yi** series models.
### 1. Prepare development environment
#### 1.1 Docker
The best approach to try the **Yi** series models is through Docker with GPUs. We
provide the following docker images to help you get started.
- `registry.lingyiwanwu.com/ci/01-ai/yi:latest`
- `ghcr.io/01-ai/yi:latest`
Note that the `latest` tag always points to the latest code in the `main`
branch. To test a stable version, please replace it with a specific
[tag](https://github.com/01-ai/Yi/tags).
#### 1.2 Local development environment
We use [`conda-lock`](https://github.com/conda/conda-lock) to generate fully reproducible lock files for conda environments. You can refer to [conda-lock.yml](./conda-lock.yml) for the exact versions of the dependencies. Additionally, we utilize [`micromamba`](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/micromamba.html) for installing these dependencies.
To install the dependencies, please follow these steps:
1. Install `micromamba` by following the instructions available [here](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/micromamba-installation.html).
2. Execute `micromamba install -y -n yi -f conda-lock.yml` to create a conda environment named `yi` and install the necessary dependencies.
### 2. Download the model (optional)
By default, the model weights and tokenizer will be downloaded from
[HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/01-ai) automatically in the next step. You
can also download them manually from the following places:
- [ModelScope](https://www.modelscope.cn/organization/01ai/)
- [WiseModel](https://wisemodel.cn/models) (Search for `Yi`)
- Mirror site (remember to extract the content with `tar`)
- [Yi-6B.tar](https://storage.lingyiwanwu.com/yi/models/Yi-6B.tar)
- [Yi-6B-200K.tar](https://storage.lingyiwanwu.com/yi/models/Yi-6B-200K.tar)
- [Yi-34B.tar](https://storage.lingyiwanwu.com/yi/models/Yi-34B.tar)
- [Yi-34B-200K.tar](https://storage.lingyiwanwu.com/yi/models/Yi-34B-200K.tar)
### 3. Examples
#### 3.1 Use the chat model
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_path = '01-ai/Yi-34b-Chat'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path, use_fast=False)
# Since transformers 4.35.0, the GPT-Q/AWQ model can be loaded using AutoModelForCausalLM.
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_path,
device_map="auto",
torch_dtype='auto'
).eval()
# Prompt content: "hi"
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}
]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(conversation=messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt')
output_ids = model.generate(input_ids.to('cuda'))
response = tokenizer.decode(output_ids[0][input_ids.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
# Model response: "Hello! How can I assist you today?"
print(response)
```
#### 3.2 Use the base model
```bash
python demo/text_generation.py
```
To reuse the downloaded models in the previous step, you can provide the extra
`--model` argument:
```bash
python demo/text_generation.py --model /path/to/model
```
Or if you'd like to get your hands dirty:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("01-ai/Yi-34B", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto", trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("01-ai/Yi-34B", trust_remote_code=True)
inputs = tokenizer("There's a place where time stands still. A place of breath taking wonder, but also", return_tensors="pt")
max_length = 256
outputs = model.generate(
inputs.input_ids.cuda(),
max_length=max_length,
eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
do_sample=True,
repetition_penalty=1.3,
no_repeat_ngram_size=5,
temperature=0.7,
top_k=40,
top_p=0.8,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
Output
**Prompt**: There's a place where time stands still. A place of breath taking wonder, but also
**Generation**: There's a place where time stands still. A place of breath taking wonder, but also of great danger. A place where the very air you breathe could kill you. A place where the only way to survive is to be prepared.
The place is called the Arctic.
The Arctic is a vast, frozen wilderness. It is a place of extremes. The temperatures can drop to -40 degrees Celsius. The winds can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour. The sun can shine for 24 hours a day, or not at all for weeks on end.
The Arctic is also a place of great beauty. The ice and snow are a pristine white. The sky is a deep blue. The sunsets are spectacular.
But the Arctic is also a place of great danger. The ice can be treacherous. The winds can be deadly. The sun can be blinding.
