Libraries

How to use linagora/Labess-7b-chat-16bit with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="linagora/Labess-7b-chat-16bit")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("linagora/Labess-7b-chat-16bit")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("linagora/Labess-7b-chat-16bit", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Model Overview

Labess-7b-chat is an open model instruction-tuned for Tunisian Derja, it's a continual pre-training version of jais-adapted-7b-chat with tunisian_Derja_Dataset

Uploaded model

Developed by: Linagora
License: apache-2.0
Finetuned from model : inceptionai/jais-adapted-7b-chat

Usage

Below we share some code snippets on how to get quickly started with running the model. First, install the Transformers library with:

pip install transformers

Usage

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="linagora/Labess-7b-chat-16bit",
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16},    
    device="cuda" # replace with "mps" to run on a Mac device
)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": 'وين تجي تونس؟'},
]

outputs = pipe(messages, max_new_tokens=64, do_sample=True, temperature=0.2)
assistant_response = outputs[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"].strip()
print(assistant_response)

- Response:تونس هي بلاد في شمال إفريقيا هي بلاد جميلة برشة ومعروفة في العالم الكل هي بلاد فيها مناظر طبيعية
