๐Ÿค— Tech Memo    ๐Ÿค— DEMO    Github    Technical Report

We introduce SeaLLM-7B-v2, the state-of-the-art multilingual LLM for Southeast Asian (SEA) languages ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฒ ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ. It is the most significant upgrade since SeaLLM-13B, with half the size, outperforming performance across diverse multilingual tasks, from world knowledge, math reasoning, instruction following, etc.

Highlights

  • SeaLLM-7B-v2 achieves the 7B-SOTA on the GSM8K task with 78.2 score and outperforms GPT-3.5 in many GSM8K-translated tasks in SEA languages (๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ) as well as MGSM (๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ). It also surpasses GPT-3.5 in MATH for Thai ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ.
  • It scores competitively against GPT-3.5 in many zero-shot commonsense benchmark, with 82.5, 68.3, 80.9 scores on Arc-C, Winogrande, and Hellaswag.
  • It achieves 7.54 score on the ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง MT-bench, it ranks 3rd place on the leaderboard for 7B category and is the most outperforming multilingual model.
  • It scores 45.46 on the VMLU benchmark for Vietnamese ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ, and is the only open-source multilingual model that can be competitive to monolingual models (Vistral-7B) of similar sizes.

What's new since SeaLLM-13B-v1 and SeaLLM-7B-v1?

  • SeaLLM-7B-v2 is continue-pretrained from Mistral-7B and underwent carefully designed tuning with focus in reasoning.

Evaluation

Zero-shot Multilingual Math Reasoning

SeaLLM-7B-v2 achieves with 78.2 score on the GSM8K, making it the state of the art in the realm of 7B models. It also outperforms GPT-3.5 in the same GSM8K benchmark as translated into SEA languages (๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ). SeaLLM-7B-v2 also surpasses GPT-3.5 on the Thai-translated MATH benchmark, with 22.4 vs 18.1 scores.

Zero-shot Commonsense Reasoning

We compare SeaLLM-7B-v2 with ChatGPT and Mistral-7B-instruct on various zero-shot commonsense benchmarks (Arc-Challenge, Winogrande and Hellaswag). We use the 2-stage technique in (Kojima et al., 2023) to grab the answer. Note that we DID NOT use "Let's think step-by-step" to invoke explicit CoT.

Multilingual World Knowledge

We evaluate models on 3 benchmarks following the recommended default setups: 5-shot MMLU for En, 3-shot M3Exam (M3e) for En, Zh, Vi, Id, Th, and zero-shot VMLU for Vi.

Sea-Bench

Similar to MT-Bench, Sea-bench is a set of categorized instruction test sets to measure models' ability as an assistant that is specifically focused on 9 SEA languages, including non-Latin low-resource languages.

As shown, the huge improvements come from math-reasoning, reaching GPT-3.5 level of performance.

Usage

Instruction format

prompt = """<|im_start|>system
You are a helpful assistant.</s>
<|im_start|>user
Hello world</s>
<|im_start|>assistant
Hi there, how can I help?</s>

# ! ENSURE 1 and only 1 bos `<s>` at the beginning of sequence
print(tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(tokenizer.encode(prompt)))

['<s>', 'โ–<', '|', 'im', '_', 'start', '|', '>', 'system', '<0x0A>', 'You', 'โ–are', 'โ–a', 'โ–helpful', 'โ–assistant', '.', '</s>', 'โ–', '<0x0A>', '<', '|', 'im', '_', 'start', '|', '>', 'user', '<0x0A>', 'Hello', 'โ–world', '</s>', 'โ–', '<0x0A>', '<', '|', 'im', '_', 'start', '|', '>', 'ass', 'istant', '<0x0A>', 'Hi', 'โ–there', ',', 'โ–how', 'โ–can', 'โ–I', 'โ–help', '?', '</s>', 'โ–', '<0x0A>']
"""

Using transformers's chat_template


from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("SeaLLMs/SeaLLM-7B-v2", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map=device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("SeaLLMs/SeaLLM-7B-v2")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello world"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi there, how can I help you today?"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain general relativity in details."}
]

encodeds = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True)
print(tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(encodeds[0]))
# ['<s>', 'โ–<', '|', 'im', '_', 'start', '|', '>', 'user', '<0x0A>', 'Hello', 'โ–world', '</s>', 'โ–', '<0x0A>', '<', '|', 'im ....

model_inputs = encodeds.to(device)
model.to(device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=True, pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id)
decoded = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)
print(decoded[0])

Using vLLM

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
TURN_TEMPLATE = "<|im_start|>{role}\n{content}</s>"
TURN_PREFIX = "<|im_start|>{role}\n"

def seallm_chat_convo_format(conversations, add_assistant_prefix: bool, system_prompt=None):
    # conversations: list of dict with key `role` and `content` (openai format)
    if conversations[0]['role'] != 'system' and system_prompt is not None:
        conversations = [{"role": "system", "content": system_prompt}] + conversations
    text = ''
    for turn_id, turn in enumerate(conversations):
        prompt = TURN_TEMPLATE.format(role=turn['role'], content=turn['content'])
        text += prompt
    if add_assistant_prefix:
        prompt = TURN_PREFIX.format(role='assistant')
        text += prompt    
    return text

sparams = SamplingParams(temperature=0.1, max_tokens=1024, stop=['</s>', '<|im_start|>'])
llm = LLM("SeaLLMs/SeaLLM-7B-v2", dtype="bfloat16")

message = "Explain general relativity in details."
prompt = seallm_chat_convo_format(message, True)
gen = llm.generate(prompt, sampling_params)

print(gen[0].outputs[0].text)
