54
+ Summary description and brief definition of inputs and outputs.
55
+
56
+ ### Description
57
+
58
+ Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
59
+ built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
60
+ They are text-to-text, decoder-only large language models, available in English,
61
+ with open weights, pre-trained variants, and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma
62
+ models are well-suited for a variety of text generation tasks, including
63
+ question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their relatively small size
64
+ makes it possible to deploy them in environments with limited resources such as
65
+ a laptop, desktop or your own cloud infrastructure, democratizing access to
66
+ state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation for everyone.
67
+
68
+ ### Usage
69
+
70
+ Below we share some code snippets on how to get quickly started with running the model. First make sure to `pip install -U transformers`, then copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your usecase.
71
+
72
+ #### Running the model on a CPU
73
+
74
+ As explained below, we recommend `torch.bfloat16` as the default dtype. You can use [a different precision](#precisions) if necessary.
75
+
76
+ ```python
77
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
78
+ import torch
79
+
80
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
81
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
82
+ "google/gemma-2b-it",
83
+ torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
84
+ )
85
+
86
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
87
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
88
+
89
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
90
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+
94
+ #### Running the model on a single / multi GPU
95
+
96
+
97
+ ```python
98
+ # pip install accelerate
99
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
100
+ import torch
101
+
102
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
103
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
104
+ "google/gemma-2b-it",
105
+ device_map="auto",
106
+ torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
107
+ )
108
+
109
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
110
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
111
+
112
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
113
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+
117
+ <a name="precisions"></a>
118
+ #### Running the model on a GPU using different precisions
119
+
120
+ The native weights of this model were exported in `bfloat16` precision. You can use `float16`, which may be faster on certain hardware, indicating the `torch_dtype` when loading the model. For convenience, the `float16` revision of the repo contains a copy of the weights already converted to that precision.
121
+
122
+ You can also use `float32` if you skip the dtype, but no precision increase will occur (model weights will just be upcasted to `float32`). See examples below.
123
+
124
+ * _Using `torch.float16`_
125
+
126
+ ```python
127
+ # pip install accelerate
128
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
129
+ import torch
130
+
131
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
132
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
133
+ "google/gemma-2b-it",
134
+ device_map="auto",
135
+ torch_dtype=torch.float16,
136
+ revision="float16",
137
+ )
138
+
139
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
140
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
141
+
142
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
143
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ * _Upcasting to `torch.float32`_
147
+
148
+ ```python
149
+ # pip install accelerate
150
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
151
+
152
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
153
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
154
+ "google/gemma-2b-it",
155
+ device_map="auto"
156
+ )
157
+
158
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
159
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
160
+
161
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
162
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
163
+ ```
164
+
165
+ #### Quantized Versions through `bitsandbytes`
166
+
167
+ * _Using 8-bit precision (int8)_
168
+
169
+ ```python
170
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
171
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
172
+
173
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
174
+
175
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
176
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", quantization_config=quantization_config)
177
+
178
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
179
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
180
+
181
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
182
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
183
+ ```
184
+
185
+ * _Using 4-bit precision_
186
+
187
+ ```python
188
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
189
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
190
+
191
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
192
+
193
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
194
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", quantization_config=quantization_config)
195
+
196
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
197
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
198
+
199
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
200
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
201
+ ```
202
+
203
+
204
+ #### Other optimizations
205
+
206
+ * _Flash Attention 2_
207
+
208
+ First make sure to install `flash-attn` in your environment `pip install flash-attn`
209
+
210
+ ```diff
211
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
212
+ model_id,
213
+ torch_dtype=torch.float16,
214
+ + attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"
215
+ ).to(0)
216
+ ```
217
+
218
+ ### Chat Template
219
+
220
+ The instruction-tuned models use a chat template that must be adhered to for conversational use.
221
+ The easiest way to apply it is using the tokenizer's built-in chat template, as shown in the following snippet.
222
+
223
+ Let's load the model and apply the chat template to a conversation. In this example, we'll start with a single user interaction:
224
+
225
+ ```py
226
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
227
+ import transformers
228
+ import torch
229
+
230
+ model_id = "gg-hf/gemma-2b-it"
231
+ dtype = torch.bfloat16
232
+
233
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
234
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
235
+ model_id,
236
+ device_map="cuda",
237
+ torch_dtype=dtype,
238
+ )
239
+
240
+ chat = [
241
+ { "role": "user", "content": "Write a hello world program" },
242
+ ]
243
+ prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ At this point, the prompt contains the following text:
247
+
248
+ ```
249
+ <bos><start_of_turn>user
250
+ Write a hello world program<end_of_turn>
251
+ <start_of_turn>model
252
+ ```
253
+
254
+ As you can see, each turn is preceded by a `<start_of_turn>` delimiter and then the role of the entity
255
+ (either `user`, for content supplied by the user, or `model` for LLM responses). Turns finish with
256
+ the `<end_of_turn>` token.
257
+
258
+ You can follow this format to build the prompt manually, if you need to do it without the tokenizer's
259
+ chat template.
260
+
261
+ After the prompt is ready, generation can be performed like this:
262
+
263
+ ```py
264
+ inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
265
+ outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=150)
266
+ ```
267
+
268
+ ### Fine-tuning
269
+
270
+ You can find some fine-tuning scripts under the [`examples/` directory](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-7b/tree/main/examples) of [`google/gemma-7b`](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-7b) repository. To adapt them to this model, simply change the model-id to `google/gemma-2b-it`.
271
+
272
+ We provide:
273
+
274
+ * A script to perform Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on UltraChat dataset using QLoRA
275
+ * A script to perform SFT using FSDP on TPU devices
276
+ * A notebook that you can run on a free-tier Google Colab instance to perform SFT on the English quotes dataset
277
+
278
+ ### Inputs and outputs
279
+
280
+ * **Input:** Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be
281
+ summarized.
282
+ * **Output:** Generated English-language text in response to the input, such
283
+ as an answer to a question, or a summary of a document.
284
+
285
+ ## Model Data
286
+
287
+ Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
288
+
289
+ ### Training Dataset
290
+
291
+ These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
292
+ of sources, totaling 6 trillion tokens. Here are the key components:
293
+
294
+ * Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is exposed
295
+ to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. Primarily
296
+ English-language content.
297
+ * Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and patterns of
298
+ programming languages, which improves its ability to generate code or
299
+ understand code-related questions.
300
+ * Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
301
+ reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
302
+
303
+ The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
304
+ language model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and text
305
+ formats.
306
+
307
+ ### Data Preprocessing
308
+
309
+ Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
310
+ data:
311
+
312
+ * CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering was
313
+ applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure the
314
+ exclusion of harmful and illegal content
315
+ * Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models safe and
316
+ reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain personal
317
+ information and other sensitive data from training sets.
318
+ * Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safely in line with
319
+ [our policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11).
320
+
321
+ ## Implementation Information
322
+
323
+ Details about the model internals.
324
+
325
+ ### Hardware
326
+
327
+ Gemma was trained using the latest generation of
328
+ [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)](https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/intro-to-tpu) hardware (TPUv5e).
329
+
330
+ Training large language models requires significant computational power. TPUs,
331
+ designed specifically for matrix operations common in machine learning, offer
332
+ several advantages in this domain:
333
+
334
+ * Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive computations
335
+ involved in training LLMs. They can speed up training considerably compared to
336
+ CPUs.
337
+ * Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, allowing
338
+ for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training. This can
339
+ lead to better model quality.
340
+ * Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable solution for
341
+ handling the growing complexity of large foundation models. You can distribute
342
+ training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more efficient processing.
343
+ * Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more cost-effective
344
+ solution for training large models compared to CPU-based infrastructure,
345
+ especially when considering the time and resources saved due to faster
346
+ training.
347
+ * These advantages are aligned with
348
+ [Google's commitments to operate sustainably](https://sustainability.google/operating-sustainably/).
349
+
350
+ ### Software
351
+
352
+ Training was done using [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax) and [ML Pathways](https://blog.google/technology/ai/introducing-pathways-next-generation-ai-architecture/ml-pathways).
353
+
354
+ JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
355
+ including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models.
356
+
357
+ ML Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
358
+ capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
359
+ [foundation models](https://ai.google/discover/foundation-models/), including large language models like
360
+ these ones.
361
+
362
+ Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
363
+ [paper about the Gemini family of models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11805); "the 'single
364
+ controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
365
+ process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
366
+ development workflow."

402
+
403
+ Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
404
+
405
+ ### Evaluation Approach
406
+
407
+ Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
408
+ testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
409
+ different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
410
+ models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
411
+ ethics and safety, including:
412
+
413
+ * Text-to-Text Content Safety: Human evaluation on prompts covering safety
414
+ policies including child sexual abuse and exploitation, harassment, violence
415
+ and gore, and hate speech.
416
+ * Text-to-Text Representational Harms: Benchmark against relevant academic
417
+ datasets such as [WinoBias](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06876) and [BBQ Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08193v2).
418
+ * Memorization: Automated evaluation of memorization of training data, including
419
+ the risk of personally identifiable information exposure.
420
+ * Large-scale harm: Tests for "dangerous capabilities," such as chemical,
421
+ biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) risks.
422
+
423
+ ### Evaluation Results
424
+
425
+ The results of ethics and safety evaluations are within acceptable thresholds
426
+ for meeting [internal policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11) for categories such as child
427
+ safety, content safety, representational harms, memorization, large-scale harms.
428
+ On top of robust internal evaluations, the results of well known safety
429
+ benchmarks like BBQ, BOLD, Winogender, Winobias, RealToxicity, and TruthfulQA
430
+ are shown here.

447
+ ## Usage and Limitations
448
+
449
+ These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
450
+
451
+ ### Intended Usage
452
+
453
+ Open Large Language Models (LLMs) have a wide range of applications across
454
+ various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is not
455
+ comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
456
+ about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
457
+ training and development.
458
+
459
+ * Content Creation and Communication
460
+ * Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text formats
461
+ such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
462
+ * Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces for customer
463
+ service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
464
+ * Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus, research
465
+ papers, or reports.
466
+ * Research and Education
467
+ * Natural Language Processing (NLP) Research: These models can serve as a
468
+ foundation for researchers to experiment with NLP techniques, develop
469
+ algorithms, and contribute to the advancement of the field.
470
+ * Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning experiences,
471
+ aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
472
+ * Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large bodies of text
473
+ by generating summaries or answering questions about specific topics.
474
+
475
+ ### Limitations
476
+
477
+ * Training Data
478
+ * The quality and diversity of the training data significantly influence the
479
+ model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data can lead to
480
+ limitations in the model's responses.
481
+ * The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas the model can
482
+ handle effectively.
483
+ * Context and Task Complexity
484
+ * LLMs are better at tasks that can be framed with clear prompts and
485
+ instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be challenging.
486
+ * A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context provided
487
+ (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a certain point).
488
+ * Language Ambiguity and Nuance
489
+ * Natural language is inherently complex. LLMs might struggle to grasp subtle
490
+ nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
491
+ * Factual Accuracy
492
+ * LLMs generate responses based on information they learned from their
493
+ training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate
494
+ incorrect or outdated factual statements.
495
+ * Common Sense
496
+ * LLMs rely on statistical patterns in language. They might lack the ability
497
+ to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
498
+
499
+ ### Ethical Considerations and Risks
500
+
501
+ The development of large language models (LLMs) raises several ethical concerns.
502
+ In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
503
+
504
+ * Bias and Fairness
505
+ * LLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text data can reflect socio-cultural
506
+ biases embedded in the training material. These models underwent careful
507
+ scrutiny, input data pre-processing described and posterior evaluations
508
+ reported in this card.
509
+ * Misinformation and Misuse
510
+ * LLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading, or harmful.
511
+ * Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
512
+ [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit](http://ai.google.dev/gemma/responsible).
513
+ * Transparency and Accountability:
514
+ * This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
515
+ capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
516
+ * A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to share
517
+ innovation by making LLM technology accessible to developers and researchers
518
+ across the AI ecosystem.
519
+
520
+ Risks identified and mitigations:
521
+
522
+ * Perpetuation of biases: It's encouraged to perform continuous monitoring
523
+ (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of de-biasing
524
+ techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use cases.
525
+ * Generation of harmful content: Mechanisms and guidelines for content safety
526
+ are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and implement
527
+ appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific product policies
528
+ and application use cases.
529
+ * Misuse for malicious purposes: Technical limitations and developer and
530
+ end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of LLMs.
531
+ Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag misuse are
532
+ provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
533
+ [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy).
534
+ * Privacy violations: Models were trained on data filtered for removal of PII
535
+ (Personally Identifiable Information). Developers are encouraged to adhere to
536
+ privacy regulations with privacy-preserving techniques.
537
+
538
+ ### Benefits
539
+
540
+ At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
541
+ large language model implementations designed from the ground up for Responsible
542
+ AI development compared to similarly sized models.
543
+
544
+ Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
545
+ have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
546
+ alternatives.
