Swallow

Our Swallow model has undergone continual pre-training from the Llama 2 family, primarily with the addition of Japanese language data. The tuned versions use supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Links to other models can be found in the index.

Model Details

  • Model type: Please refer to LLaMA-2 technical report for details on the model architecture.
  • Language(s): Japanese English
  • Library: Megatron-LM
  • Tokenizer: This model employs a tokenizer that features a broadened vocabulary based on Japanese data. This allows for a more efficient representation of text using fewer tokens, leading to a notably faster inference process.

First install additional dependencies in requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use the instruct model

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Swallow-7b-instruct-hf"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="auto")


PROMPT_DICT = {
    "prompt_input": (
        "以下に、あるタスクを説明する指示があり、それに付随する入力が更なる文脈を提供しています。"
        "リクエストを適切に完了するための回答を記述してください。\n\n"
        "### 指示:\n{instruction}\n\n### 入力:\n{input}\n\n### 応答:"

    ),
    "prompt_no_input": (
        "以下に、あるタスクを説明する指示があります。"
        "リクエストを適切に完了するための回答を記述してください。\n\n"
        "### 指示:\n{instruction}\n\n### 応答:"
    ),
}

def create_prompt(instruction, input=None):
    """
    Generates a prompt based on the given instruction and an optional input.
    If input is provided, it uses the 'prompt_input' template from PROMPT_DICT.
    If no input is provided, it uses the 'prompt_no_input' template.

    Args:
        instruction (str): The instruction describing the task.
        input (str, optional): Additional input providing context for the task. Default is None.

    Returns:
        str: The generated prompt.
    """
    if input:
        # Use the 'prompt_input' template when additional input is provided
        return PROMPT_DICT["prompt_input"].format(instruction=instruction, input=input)
    else:
        # Use the 'prompt_no_input' template when no additional input is provided
        return PROMPT_DICT["prompt_no_input"].format(instruction=instruction)

# Example usage
instruction_example = "以下のトピックに関する詳細な情報を提供してください。"
input_example = "東京工業大学の主なキャンパスについて教えてください"
prompt = create_prompt(instruction_example, input_example)

input_ids = tokenizer.encode(
    prompt,
    add_special_tokens=False,
    return_tensors="pt"
)

tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids.to(device=model.device),
    max_new_tokens=128,
    temperature=0.99,
    top_p=0.95,
    do_sample=True,
)

out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)

Use the base model

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Swallow-7b-hf"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

prompt = "東京工業大学の主なキャンパスは、"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(
    prompt,
    add_special_tokens=False,
    return_tensors="pt"
)
tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids.to(device=model.device),

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.
