About

What RedPajama-INCITE is

RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1 was developed by Together and leaders from the open-source AI community including Ontocord.ai, ETH DS3Lab, AAI CERC, Université de Montréal, MILA - Québec AI Institute, Stanford Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM), Stanford Hazy Research research group and LAION. The training was done on 3,072 V100 GPUs provided as part of the INCITE 2023 project on Scalable Foundation Models for Transferrable Generalist AI, awarded to MILA, LAION, and EleutherAI in fall 2022, with support from the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) and INCITE program.

Model Details

  • Developed by: Together Computer.
  • Model type: Language Model
  • Language(s): English
  • License: Apache 2.0
  • Model Description: A 2.8B parameter pretrained language model.

Quick Start

Please note that the model requires transformers version >= 4.25.1.

GPU Inference

This requires a GPU with 8GB memory.

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION = '4.25.1'

# check transformers version
assert transformers.__version__ >= MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION, f'Please upgrade transformers to version {MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION} or higher.'

# init
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
model = model.to('cuda:0')

# infer
prompt = "Alan Turing is"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)
input_length = inputs.input_ids.shape[1]
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.7, top_k=50, return_dict_in_generate=True,
)
token = outputs.sequences[0, input_length:]

GPU Inference in Int8

To run inference with int8, please ensure you have installed accelerate and bitandbytes. You can install them with the following command:

pip install accelerate
pip install bitsandbytes

Then you can run inference with int8 as follows:

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION = '4.25.1'

# check transformers version
assert transformers.__version__ >= MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION, f'Please upgrade transformers to version {MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION} or higher.'

# init
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1", device_map='auto', torch_dtype=torch.float16, load_in_8bit=True)

# infer
prompt = "Alan Turing is"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)
input_length = inputs.input_ids.shape[1]
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.7, top_k=50, return_dict_in_generate=True
)
token = outputs.sequences[0, input_length:]
output_str = tokenizer.decode(token)
print(output_str)

CPU Inference

You can run inference on CPU as follows:

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION = '4.25.1'

# check transformers version
assert transformers.__version__ >= MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION, f'Please upgrade transformers to version {MIN_TRANSFORMERS_VERSION} or higher.'

# init
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-3B-v1", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
# infer
prompt = "Alan Turing is"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)
input_length = inputs.input_ids.shape[1]
outputs = model.generate(
    **inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.7, top_k=50, return_dict_in_generate=True
)
token = outputs.sequences[0, input_length:]
output_str = tokenizer.decode(token)
print(output_str)

Please note that since LayerNormKernelImpl is not implemented in fp16 for CPU, we use bfloat16 for CPU inference.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys redpajama-incite for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (redpajama-incite below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"redpajama-incite","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
