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.

Ernie4_5_MoEModel

class transformers.Ernie4_5_MoEModel

< >

( config: Ernie4_5_MoEConfig )

Parameters

  • config (Ernie4_5_MoEConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights.

The bare Ernie4 5 Moe Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

Parameters

  • input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

    Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

    What are input IDs?

  • attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for tokens that are not masked,
    • 0 for tokens that are masked.

    What are attention masks?

  • position_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.n_positions - 1].

    What are position IDs?

  • past_key_values (~cache_utils.Cache, optional) — Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the past_key_values returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when use_cache=True or config.use_cache=True.

    Only Cache instance is allowed as input, see our kv cache guide. If no past_key_values are passed, DynamicCache will be initialized by default.

    The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

    If past_key_values are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, unprocessed_length) instead of all input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

  • inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
  • use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
  • cache_position (torch.LongTensor of shape (sequence_length), optional) — Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to position_ids, this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer the complete sequence length.

Returns

transformers.modeling_outputs.MoeModelOutputWithPast or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

A transformers.modeling_outputs.MoeModelOutputWithPast or a tuple of torch.FloatTensor (if return_dict=False is passed or when config.return_dict=False) comprising various elements depending on the configuration (Ernie4_5_MoEConfig) and inputs.

  • last_hidden_state (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)) — Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

  • past_key_values (Cache, optional, returned when use_cache=True is passed or when config.use_cache=True) — It is a Cache instance. For more details, see our kv cache guide.

    Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and optionally if config.is_encoder_decoder=True in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see past_key_values input) to speed up sequential decoding.

  • hidden_states (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_hidden_states=True is passed or when config.output_hidden_states=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size).

    Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

  • attentions (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_attentions=True is passed or when config.output_attentions=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length).

    Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

  • router_logits (tuple(torch.FloatTensor), optional, returned when output_router_probs=True and config.add_router_probs=True is passed or when config.output_router_probs=True) — Tuple of torch.FloatTensor (one for each layer) of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, num_experts).

    Raw router logtis (post-softmax) that are computed by MoE routers, these terms are used to compute the auxiliary loss for Mixture of Experts models.

The Ernie4_5_MoEModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.

    What are position IDs?

  • past_key_values (~cache_utils.Cache, optional) — Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the past_key_values returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when use_cache=True or config.use_cache=True.

    Only Cache instance is allowed as input, see our kv cache guide. If no past_key_values are passed, DynamicCache will be initialized by default.

    The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

    If past_key_values are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, unprocessed_length) instead of all input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

  • inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
  • labels (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in [0, ..., config.vocab_size] or -100 (see input_ids docstring). Tokens with indices set to -100 are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in [0, ..., config.vocab_size].
  • use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
  • output_router_logits (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the logits of all the routers. They are useful for computing the router loss, and should not be returned during inference.
  • cache_position (torch.LongTensor of shape (sequence_length), optional) — Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to position_ids, this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer the complete sequence length.
  • logits_to_keep (Union[int, torch.Tensor], defaults to 0) — If an int, compute logits for the last logits_to_keep tokens. If 0, calculate logits for all input_ids (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size. If a torch.Tensor, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension. This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).

Returns

transformers.modeling_outputs.MoeCausalLMOutputWithPast or tuple(torch.FloatTensor)

Example:

generate

< >

( inputs: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None generation_config: typing.Optional[transformers.generation.configuration_utils.GenerationConfig] = None logits_processor: typing.Optional[transformers.generation.logits_process.LogitsProcessorList] = None stopping_criteria: typing.Optional[transformers.generation.stopping_criteria.StoppingCriteriaList] = None prefix_allowed_tokens_fn: typing.Optional[typing.Callable[[int, torch.Tensor], list[int]]] = None synced_gpus: typing.Optional[bool] = None assistant_model: typing.Optional[ForwardRef('PreTrainedModel')] = None streamer: typing.Optional[ForwardRef('BaseStreamer')] = None negative_prompt_ids: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None negative_prompt_attention_mask: typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None use_model_defaults: typing.Optional[bool] = None custom_generate: typing.Optional[str] = None **kwargs ) ModelOutput or torch.LongTensor

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. If None the method initializes it with bos_token_id and a batch size of 1. For decoder-only models inputs should be in the format of input_ids. For encoder-decoder models inputs can represent any of input_ids, input_values, input_features, or pixel_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 of generation_config will override them. If generation_config is not provided, the default will be used, which has the following loading priority: 1) from the generation_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 the scores input, make sure you pass return_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True to generate. 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 ID batch_id and input_ids. It has to return a list with the allowed tokens for the next generation step conditioned on the batch ID batch_id and the previously generated tokens inputs_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 to True if using FullyShardedDataParallel or DeepSpeed ZeRO Stage 3 with multiple GPUs to avoid deadlocking if one GPU finishes generating before other GPUs. Otherwise, defaults to False.
  • 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 through streamer.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 for negative_prompt_ids.
  • use_model_defaults (bool, optional) — When it is True, unset parameters in generation_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 from v4.50 will consider this flag to be True.
  • custom_generate (str, optional) — A string containing the name of a huggingface.co repository. If provided, the custom generate function defined in that reposity’s custom_generate/generate.py file will be executed instead of the standard generate method. Note that the logic is for generation is entirely defined in that repository, and the return type may be different from the standard generate method.
  • kwargs (dict[str, Any], optional) — Ad hoc parametrization of generation_config and/or additional model-specific kwargs that will be forwarded to the forward 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).
