# pythia-6.9b-fp16-ov
* Model creator: [Eleutherai](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI)
 * Original model: [pythia-6.9b](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/pythia-6.9b)

## Description

## Compatibility

The provided OpenVINO™ IR model is compatible with:

* OpenVINO version 2024.2.0 and higher
* Optimum Intel 1.19.0 and higher

## Running Model Inference with [Optimum Intel](https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/intel/index)


1. Install packages required for using [Optimum Intel](https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/intel/index) integration with the OpenVINO backend:

```
pip install optimum[openvino]
```

2. Run model inference:

```
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from optimum.intel.openvino import OVModelForCausalLM

model_id = "OpenVINO/pythia-6.9b-fp16-ov"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

inputs = tokenizer("What is OpenVINO?", return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs)[0]
print(text)
```

For more examples and possible optimizations, refer to the [OpenVINO Large Language Model Inference Guide](https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/learn-openvino/llm_inference_guide.html).

## Running Model Inference with [OpenVINO GenAI](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.genai)

1. Install packages required for using OpenVINO GenAI.
```
pip install openvino-genai huggingface_hub
```

2. Download model from HuggingFace Hub
   
```
import huggingface_hub as hf_hub

model_id = "OpenVINO/pythia-6.9b-fp16-ov"
model_path = "pythia-6.9b-fp16-ov"

hf_hub.snapshot_download(model_id, local_dir=model_path)

```

3. Run model inference:

```
import openvino_genai as ov_genai

device = "CPU"
pipe = ov_genai.LLMPipeline(model_path, device)
print(pipe.generate("What is OpenVINO?", max_length=200))
```

More GenAI usage examples can be found in OpenVINO GenAI library [docs](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.genai/blob/master/src/README.md) and [samples](https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/openvino.genai?tab=readme-ov-file#openvino-genai-samples)
