CLEX: Continuous Length Extrapolation for Large Language Models

This repo stores the checkpoint of CLEX-Mixtral-8x7B-32K.

Features and Highlights of CLEX

CLEX_diagram

  • Simple and Clear: MINIMAL code and architecture changes. Only one up-and-down projection layer introduced, NO recurrent memory caching or sparse attention required.
  • Train Short, Test Long: NO performance drop on the sequences 4x~8x longer than the training ones (see here).
  • Continuous Length Extrapolation: Explicitly modeling the continuous dynamics of context window size during length extrapolation.

Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("DAMO-NLP-SG/CLEX-Mixtral-8x7B-32K", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("DAMO-NLP-SG/CLEX-Mixtral-8x7B-32K", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True)
inputs = tokenizer("What is CLEX?", return_tensors="pt")
sample = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(sample[0]))

Evaluation

Language Modelling

The CLEX-Phi-2-2.7B and CLEX-Mixtral-8x7B are trained on LongCorpus-2.5B, where the eval results on test set are listed below.

Train Length Eval.(32k) Eval.(64k) Eval.(128k) Eval.(256k)
Mixtral-8x7B 32k 2.78 3.44 5.88 14.20

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
