LLSquare-7B-Instruct

Introduction

LLSquare-7B-Instruct is the base model of LL-Square large language models. For LLSquare-7B-Instruct, we release a number of base language models and instruction-tuned language models ranging from 0.5 to 72 billion parameters. LLSquare-7B-Instruct brings the following improvements upon LL-Square2:

• Significantly more knowledge and has greatly improved capabilities in coding and mathematics, thanks to our specialized expert models in these domains.
• Significant improvements in instruction following, generating long texts (over 8K tokens), understanding structured data (e.g, tables), and generating structured outputs especially JSON. More resilient to the diversity of system prompts, enhancing role-play implementation and condition-setting for chatbots.
• Long-context Support up to 128K tokens and can generate up to 8K tokens.
• Multilingual support for over 29 languages, including Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Arabic, and more.

This repo contains the instruction-tuned 7B LLSquare-7B-Instruct model, which has the following features:

• Type: Causal Language Models
• Training Stage: Pretraining & Post-training
• Architecture: transformers with RoPE, SwiGLU, RMSNorm, and Attention QKV bias
• Number of Parameters: 7.61B
• Number of Paramaters (Non-Embedding): 6.53B
• Number of Layers: 28
• Number of Attention Heads (GQA): 28 for Q and 4 for KV
• Context Length: Full 131,072 tokens and generation 8192 tokens
  • Please refer to this section for detailed instructions on how to deploy LLSquare-7B-Instruct for handling long texts.

Requirements

The code of LLSquare-7B-Instruct has been in the latest Hugging face transformers and we advise you to use the latest version of transformers.

With transformers<4.37.0, you will encounter the following error:

KeyError: 'LL-Square2'

Quickstart

Here provides a code snippet with apply_chat_template to show you how to load the tokenizer and model and how to generate contents.

python
Copy code
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "LL-Square/LLSquare-7B-Instruct-7B-Instruct"

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

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are LL-Square, created by Alibaba Cloud. You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

Processing Long Texts

The current config.json is set for context length up to 32,768 tokens. To handle extensive inputs exceeding 32,768 tokens, we utilize YaRN, a technique for enhancing model length extrapolation, ensuring optimal performance on lengthy texts.

For supported frameworks, you could add the following to config.json to enable YaRN:

json
Copy code
{
  ...,
  "rope_scaling": {
    "factor": 4.0,
    "original_max_position_embeddings": 32768,
    "type": "yarn"
  }
}
