# DeciLM 6B
DeciLM 6B is a 5.7 billion parameter decoder-only text generation model. With a context window of 4096 tokens, the highly efficient model uses variable Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) to achieve an optimal balance between performance and computational efficiency. The model's architecture was generated using Deci's proprietary Neural Architecture Search-based technology, AutoNAC.
## Model Details
### Model Description
Deci developed and publically released the DeciLM 6B large language model, a pretrained, high-efficiency generative text model with 5.7 billion parameters. DeciLM 6B outpaces pretrained models in its class, with a throughput that's up to 15 times that of Llama 2 7B's. DeciLM-6B was further fine-tuned using [LoRA ](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.09685.pdf) for instruction following on a subset of the OpenOrca dataset, creating [DeciLM 6B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Deci/DeciLM-6b-instruct)
- **Developed by:** Deci
- **Model type:** DeciLM is an auto-regressive language model using an optimized transformer decoder architecture that includes variable Grouped-Query Attention.
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English
- **License:** [Llama 2 Community License Agreement](https://huggingface.co/Deci/DeciLM-6b/blob/main/LICENSE.md) with an extention of Deci regarding hosting service providers.
## Model Architecture
| Parameters | Layers | Heads | Sequence Length | GQA num_key_value_heads* | Hidden Size |
|:----------|:----------|:----------|:----------|:----------|:----------|
| 5.7B | 32 | 32 | 4096 | Variable | 4096 | |
*AutoNAC was employed to optimize the selection of the GQA num_key_value_heads for each layer of the model.
- **Decoder layer:** Varible Grouped Query Attention. Grouped Query Attention (GQA) was introduced in [Ainslie et al., 2023](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13245)
- **Position Embeddings:** Dynamic NTK Scaling Rotary Position Embeddings [Su et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09864)

## Uses
The model is intended for commercial and research use in English and can be fine-tuned for use in other languages.
## How to Get Started with the Model
Use the code below to get started with the model.
```bibtex
# pip install -q transformers
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
checkpoint = "Deci/DeciLM-6b"
device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)
inputs = tokenizer.encode("In a shocking finding, scientists discovered a herd of unicorns living in", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
## Training Details
DeciLM 6B underwent training utilizing a subset of the SlimPajamas dataset, leveraging advanced proprietary methodologies allowing for fast training.
