Ernie 4.5 MoE
Ernie 4.5 MoE
Overview
The Ernie 4.5 MoE model was released in the Ernie 4.5 Model Family release by baidu. This family of models contains multiple different architectures and model sizes. This model in specific targets the base text model with mixture of experts (moe) - one with 21B total, 3B active parameters and another one with 300B total, 47B active parameters. It uses the standard Llama at its core combined with a specialized MoE based on Mixtral with additional shared experts.
Other models from the family can be found at Ernie 4.5.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a Ernie4_5_MoEModel. It is used to instantiate a Ernie 4.5 MoE model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of baidu/ERNIE-4.5-21B-A3B-PT.
Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information.

Parameters
- inputs (
torch.Tensor
of varying shape depending on the modality, optional) — The sequence used as a prompt for the generation or as model inputs to the encoder. IfNone
the method initializes it withbos_token_id
and a batch size of 1. For decoder-only modelsinputs
should be in the format ofinput_ids
. For encoder-decoder models inputs can represent any ofinput_ids
,input_values
,input_features
, orpixel_values
. - generation_config (GenerationConfig, optional) —
The generation configuration to be used as base parametrization for the generation call.
**kwargs
passed to generate matching the attributes ofgeneration_config
will override them. Ifgeneration_config
is not provided, the default will be used, which has the following loading priority: 1) from thegeneration_config.json
model file, if it exists; 2) from the model configuration. Please note that unspecified parameters will inherit GenerationConfig’s default values, whose documentation should be checked to parameterize generation. - logits_processor (
LogitsProcessorList
, optional) — Custom logits processors that complement the default logits processors built from arguments and generation config. If a logit processor is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. This feature is intended for advanced users. - stopping_criteria (
StoppingCriteriaList
, optional) — Custom stopping criteria that complements the default stopping criteria built from arguments and a generation config. If a stopping criteria is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. If your stopping criteria depends on thescores
input, make sure you passreturn_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True
togenerate
. This feature is intended for advanced users. - prefix_allowed_tokens_fn (
Callable[[int, torch.Tensor], list[int]]
, optional) — If provided, this function constraints the beam search to allowed tokens only at each step. If not provided no constraint is applied. This function takes 2 arguments: the batch IDbatch_id
andinput_ids
. It has to return a list with the allowed tokens for the next generation step conditioned on the batch IDbatch_id
and the previously generated tokensinputs_ids
. This argument is useful for constrained generation conditioned on the prefix, as described in Autoregressive Entity Retrieval. - synced_gpus (
bool
, optional) — Whether to continue running the while loop until max_length. Unless overridden, this flag will be set toTrue
if usingFullyShardedDataParallel
or DeepSpeed ZeRO Stage 3 with multiple GPUs to avoid deadlocking if one GPU finishes generating before other GPUs. Otherwise, defaults toFalse
. - assistant_model (
PreTrainedModel
, optional) — An assistant model that can be used to accelerate generation. The assistant model must have the exact same tokenizer. The acceleration is achieved when forecasting candidate tokens with the assistant model is much faster than running generation with the model you’re calling generate from. As such, the assistant model should be much smaller. - streamer (
BaseStreamer
, optional) — Streamer object that will be used to stream the generated sequences. Generated tokens are passed throughstreamer.put(token_ids)
and the streamer is responsible for any further processing. - negative_prompt_ids (
torch.LongTensor
of shape(batch_size, sequence_length)
, optional) — The negative prompt needed for some processors such as CFG. The batch size must match the input batch size. This is an experimental feature, subject to breaking API changes in future versions. - negative_prompt_attention_mask (
torch.LongTensor
of shape(batch_size, sequence_length)
, optional) — Attention_mask fornegative_prompt_ids
. - use_model_defaults (
bool
, optional) — When it isTrue
, unset parameters ingeneration_config
will be set to the model-specific default generation configuration (model.generation_config
), as opposed to the global defaults (GenerationConfig()
). If unset, models saved starting fromv4.50
will consider this flag to beTrue
. - custom_generate (
str
, optional) — A string containing the name of a huggingface.co repository. If provided, the customgenerate
function defined in that reposity’scustom_generate/generate.py
file will be executed instead of the standardgenerate
method. Note that the logic is for generation is entirely defined in that repository, and the return type may be different from the standardgenerate
method. - kwargs (
dict[str, Any]
, optional) — Ad hoc parametrization ofgeneration_config
and/or additional model-specific kwargs that will be forwarded to theforward
function of the model. If the model is an encoder-decoder model, encoder specific kwargs should not be prefixed and decoder specific kwargs should be prefixed with decoder_.
Returns
ModelOutput or torch.LongTensor
A ModelOutput (if return_dict_in_generate=True
or when config.return_dict_in_generate=True
) or a torch.LongTensor
.
If the model is not an encoder-decoder model (model.config.is_encoder_decoder=False
), the possible
ModelOutput types are:
If the model is an encoder-decoder model (model.config.is_encoder_decoder=True
), the possible
ModelOutput types are:
Generates sequences of token ids for models with a language modeling head.
Most generation-controlling parameters are set in generation_config
which, if not passed, will be set to the
model’s default generation configuration. You can override any generation_config
by passing the corresponding
parameters to generate(), e.g. .generate(inputs, num_beams=4, do_sample=True)
.
