## Model Details

### Model Description


We have followed up on our previous training runs related to extending the context length
of Llama models. The associated github repository 

https://github.com/abacusai/long-context

has some basic details on our approach and metrics. We have also published a paper on arXiv
that covers our experiments and analysis a lot more comprehensively.

- **Developed by:** [Abacus.AI](https://abacus.ai)
- **Model type:** Transformer based autoregressive causal language model
- **License:** Llama 2 Community License: https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/LICENSE
- **Finetuned from model:** Llama V2 70B

### Usage

To use this model at longer lengths the model needs to be patched to interpolate the longer context
lengths. It will not work if it is simply loaded with the `AutoModel` framework of `transformers`.
For full details and usage see:

https://github.com/abacusai/Long-Context

The evaluation section has detailed code for how to load and patch the model for inference (or further fine-tuning).
Note in particular the `max_position_embeddings` is not relevant since the patched module dynamically reallocates
the position buffers as required.

The tokenizer corresponding to this model is https://huggingface.co/abacusai/Giraffe-v1-Tokenizer.

Using the code in the repository you can load this model with the following code:
```python
from models import load_model, load_tokenizer
tokenizer = load_tokenizer()
model = load_model('abacusai/Giraffe-v2-70b-32k', scale=8)
```
