How to Get Started with the Model

Click to expand

Loading in model with Huggingface

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")

Quick Start Inference on SambaNova's in-house Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU)

The inference code to run the model can be found our github repo. This code requires the SambaFlow SDK to execute. For those interested in running models on RDUs, please feel free to get in touch.

Quick Start Inference on GPU

First create a python virtual environment for these packages

python3 -m venv bloomchat_venv
source bloomchat_venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip

pip install flask flask_api gunicorn pydantic accelerate huggingface_hub>=0.9.0 deepspeed>=0.7.3 deepspeed-mii==0.0.2

And then

pip install transformers==4.27.0

You will see messages like this

ERROR: deepspeed-mii 0.0.2 has requirement transformers==4.21.2, but you'll have transformers 4.27.0 which is incompatible.
Installing collected packages: transformers
  Found existing installation: transformers 4.21.2
    Uninstalling transformers-4.21.2:
      Successfully uninstalled transformers-4.21.2
Successfully installed transformers-4.27.0

Now let's git clone the huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference repo.

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference.git
cd transformers-bloom-inference/

And then you need to modify two files in this transformers-bloom-inference repo:

Modifying inference_server/models/hf_accelerate.py
- This is because for our testing of this repo we used 4 80GB A100 GPUs and would run into memory issues
Modifying inference_server/cli.py
- This is because the model was trained using specific human, bot tags
- Trailing spaces may lead to subpar performance

<human>: What does it mean for the Fed to raise or lower interest rates?
<bot>: The Federal Reserve (also known as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States.  It was created in 1913, and is an independent agency of the federal government.  The Fed has a dual mandate of maximizing employment and stabilizing prices.  The Fed sets interest rates, and can influence the money supply and the credit markets through its actions.

Raising interest rates means that the Fed is trying to reduce the money supply in the economy, and is trying to discourage borrowing and encourage saving.  Lowering interest rates means that the Fed is trying to stimulate economic growth by encouraging borrowing and reducing the cost of credit.

The Fed raises or lowers interest rates in order to influence the economy and achieve its goals for employment and price stability.  Interest rates are one of the primary tools that the Fed uses to achieve its goals.

<human>: Write an engaging and well-written property listing description for selling a house. Address of the house and some of the details are given to you. Fill in the information gap with hallucinations if needed.

Property Address: 412 Monterey Ave, Capitola, CA 95010
Parking: 3 cars + a finished single car garage
Details:
- open floorplan
- window with views to park/mountains
- Kitchen with shaker cabinetry and white Calcatta quartz counters
<bot>: This home at 412 Monterey Ave, Capitola, CA 95010 is the perfect place to call home. With its open floor plan, it provides the perfect space for entertaining guests. The kitchen is equipped with shaker cabinetry and white Calcatta quartz counters, providing the perfect space to create culinary masterpieces. The window with views to the park and mountains provide a beautiful view of the outdoors, making this home feel like a piece of paradise. The three-car garage and finished single car garage provide ample parking space, making this home a must-see for anyone looking for a new home.

<human>: What is artificial intelligence? Explain it so an 8 year old will understand.
<bot>: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program or machine that can do things that would normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, making decisions, and learning from experience. AI can be found in many places, such as self-driving cars, smartphones, and even robots. AI is used to make things easier for people, like when your smartphone can translate text into another language or when your voice-controlled speaker can play music for you.
AI works by using algorithms and big data to learn and improve over time. For example, self-driving cars use AI to analyze the environment around them and make decisions about how to drive. The car gathers data from its sensors, processes it using algorithms, and adjusts its behavior accordingly. This process is called machine learning.
AI is still a developing technology, and there are still many things that AI programs cannot do yet. However, as AI continues to evolve, it is likely that it will become more and more capable of performing tasks that were once thought to require human intelligence.

<human>: هل العمل نصف دوام فكرة جيدة لمراهقين بين عمر ١٥ و ١٩ عام
<bot>: نعم، يمكن أن تكون فكرة جيدة لبعض المراهقين في هذا العمر. هناك العديد من الفوائد التي قد يحققها المراهقون إذا عملوا بنصف دوام:

- يساعدهم على تعلم المسؤولية وإدارة الوقت: عندما يعمل المراهق بنصف دوام، فإنه يتعلم كيفية إدارة وقته بشكل فعال وكيفية تقسيم ساعات عمله إلى مهام أصغر.
- يحسن مهارات التواصل والعمل الجماعي: غالبًا ما يكون مكان العمل بيئة متعددة الثقافات حيث يلتقي المراهقون بمجموعة متنوعة من الأشخاص ويتعلمون كيفية التعاون معهم وتبادل الأفكار.
- يوفر فرصة للتعرف على عالم العمل: يتيح العمل للمراهق التعرف على عالم العمل واكتساب خبرة عملية قيمة ستساعده لاحقًا عند البحث عن وظيفة أو بدء حياته المهنية.
- يعزز الشعور بالمسؤولية والثقة بالنفس: عندما يعمل المراهق بنصف دوام ويحصل على دخل خاص به، فإنه يكتسب شعورًا أكبر بالمسؤولية والثقة بالنفس.

ومع ذلك، لا ينبغي إجبار المراهقين على العمل بنصف دوام دون موافقتهم المسبقة. يجب أيضًا مراعاة أعمارهم وقدراتهم البدنية والعقلية قبل توظيفهم.
