RakutenAI-7B-chat

Model Description

RakutenAI-7B is a systematic initiative that brings the latest technologies to the world of Japanese LLMs. RakutenAI-7B achieves the best scores on the Japanese language understanding benchmarks while maintaining a competitive performance on the English test sets among similar models such as OpenCalm, Elyza, Youri, Nekomata and Swallow. RakutenAI-7B leverages the Mistral model architecture and is based on Mistral-7B-v0.1 pre-trained checkpoint, exemplifying a successful retrofitting of the pre-trained model weights. Moreover, we extend Mistral's vocabulary from 32k to 48k to offer a better character-per-token rate for Japanese.

The technical report can be accessed at arXiv.

If you are looking for a foundation model, check RakutenAI-7B.

If you are looking for an instruction-tuned model, check RakutenAI-7B-instruct.

An independent evaluation by Kamata et.al. for Nejumi LLMリーダーボード Neo using a weighted average of llm-jp-eval and Japanese MT-bench also confirms the highest performance of chat/instruct versions of RakutenAI-7B among Open LLMs of similar sizes, with a score of 0.393/0.331 respectively, as of 22nd March 2024.

Usage


# With RakutenAI-7B-Chat's custom chat template.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_path = "Rakuten/RakutenAI-7B-chat"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
model.eval()

chat = [
    
    {"role": "system", "content": "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "How to make an authentic Spanish Omelette?"},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(device=model.device)
tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_length=4096,
    do_sample=False,
    num_beams=1,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
)
out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0][len(input_ids[0]):], skip_special_tokens=True)
print("ASSISTANT:\n" + out)
print()


# Without using custom chat template.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_path = "Rakuten/RakutenAI-7B-chat"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
model.eval()

requests = [
    "「馬が合う」はどう言う意味ですか",
    "How to make an authentic Spanish Omelette?",
]

system_message = "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions. USER: {user_input} ASSISTANT:"

for req in requests:
    input_req = system_message.format(user_input=req)
    input_ids = tokenizer.encode(input_req, return_tensors="pt").to(device=model.device)
    tokens = model.generate(
        input_ids,
        max_new_tokens=1024,
        do_sample=True,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )
    out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0][len(input_ids[0]):], skip_special_tokens=True)
    print("USER:\n" + req)
    print("ASSISTANT:\n" + out)
    print()
    print()

- Dolly-15K
- OpenAssistant1

Limitations and Bias

The suite of RakutenAI-7B models is capable of generating human-like text on a wide range of topics. However, like all LLMs, they have limitations and can produce biased, inaccurate, or unsafe outputs. Please exercise caution and judgement while interacting with them.
