# Distributed training with 🤗 Accelerate
As models get bigger, parallelism has emerged as a strategy for training larger models on limited hardware and accelerating training speed by several orders of magnitude. At Hugging Face, we created the [🤗 Accelerate](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate) library to help users easily train a 🤗 Transformers model on any type of distributed setup, whether it is multiple GPU's on one machine or multiple GPU's across several machines. In this tutorial, learn how to customize your native PyTorch training loop to enable training in a distributed environment.
## Setup
Get started by installing 🤗 Accelerate:
```bash
pip install accelerate
```
Then import and create an [`~accelerate.Accelerator`] object. The [`~accelerate.Accelerator`] will automatically detect your type of distributed setup and initialize all the necessary components for training. You don't need to explicitly place your model on a device.
```py
>>> from accelerate import Accelerator
>>> accelerator = Accelerator()
```
## Prepare to accelerate
The next step is to pass all the relevant training objects to the [`~accelerate.Accelerator.prepare`] method. This includes your training and evaluation DataLoaders, a model and an optimizer:
```py
>>> train_dataloader, eval_dataloader, model, optimizer = accelerator.prepare(
... train_dataloader, eval_dataloader, model, optimizer
... )
```
## Backward
The last addition is to replace the typical `loss.backward()` in your training loop with 🤗 Accelerate's [`~accelerate.Accelerator.backward`]method:
```py
>>> for epoch in range(num_epochs):
... for batch in train_dataloader:
... outputs = model(**batch)
... loss = outputs.loss
... accelerator.backward(loss)
... optimizer.step()
... lr_scheduler.step()
... optimizer.zero_grad()
... progress_bar.update(1)
```
As you can see in the following code, you only need to add four additional lines of code to your training loop to enable distributed training!
```diff
+ from accelerate import Accelerator
from transformers import AdamW, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, get_scheduler
+ accelerator = Accelerator()
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(checkpoint, num_labels=2)
optimizer = AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=3e-5)
- device = torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu")
- model.to(device)
+ train_dataloader, eval_dataloader, model, optimizer = accelerator.prepare(
+ train_dataloader, eval_dataloader, model, optimizer
+ )
num_epochs = 3
num_training_steps = num_epochs * len(train_dataloader)
lr_scheduler = get_scheduler(
"linear",
optimizer=optimizer,
num_warmup_steps=0,
num_training_steps=num_training_steps
)
progress_bar = tqdm(range(num_training_steps))
model.train()
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
for batch in train_dataloader:
- batch = {k: v.to(device) for k, v in batch.items()}
outputs = model(**batch)
loss = outputs.loss
- loss.backward()
+ accelerator.backward(loss)
optimizer.step()
lr_scheduler.step()
optimizer.zero_grad()
progress_bar.update(1)
```
## Train
Once you've added the relevant lines of code, launch your training in a script or a notebook like Colaboratory.
### Train with a script
If you are running your training from a script, run the following command to create and save a configuration file:
```bash
accelerate config
```
Then launch your training with:
```bash
accelerate launch train.py
```
### Train with a notebook
🤗 Accelerate can also run in a notebook if you're planning on using Colaboratory's TPUs. Wrap all the code responsible for training in a function, and pass it to [`~accelerate.notebook_launcher`]:
```py
>>> from accelerate import notebook_launcher
>>> notebook_launcher(training_function)
```
For more information about 🤗 Accelerate and its rich features, refer to the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate).

# How to add a model to 🤗 Transformers?
The 🤗 Transformers library is often able to offer new models thanks to community contributors. But this can be a challenging project and requires an in-depth knowledge of the 🤗 Transformers library and the model to implement. At Hugging Face, we're trying to empower more of the community to actively add models and we've put together this guide to walk you through the process of adding a PyTorch model (make sure you have [PyTorch installed](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/)).
<Tip>
If you're interested in implementing a TensorFlow model, take a look at the [How to convert a 🤗 Transformers model to TensorFlow](add_tensorflow_model) guide!
</Tip>
Along the way, you'll:
- get insights into open-source best practices
- understand the design principles behind one of the most popular deep learning libraries
- learn how to efficiently test large models
- learn how to integrate Python utilities like `black`, `ruff`, and `make fix-copies` to ensure clean and readable code
A Hugging Face team member will be available to help you along the way so you'll never be alone. 🤗 ❤️
To get started, open a [New model addition](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/new?assignees=&labels=New+model&template=new-model-addition.yml) issue for the model you want to see in 🤗 Transformers. If you're not especially picky about contributing a specific model, you can filter by the [New model label](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/labels/New%20model) to see if there are any unclaimed model requests and work on it.
Once you've opened a new model request, the first step is to get familiar with 🤗 Transformers if you aren't already!
## General overview of 🤗 Transformers
First, you should get a general overview of 🤗 Transformers. 🤗 Transformers is a very opinionated library, so there is a
chance that you don't agree with some of the library's philosophies or design choices. From our experience, however, we
found that the fundamental design choices and philosophies of the library are crucial to efficiently scale 🤗
Transformers while keeping maintenance costs at a reasonable level.
A good first starting point to better understand the library is to read the [documentation of our philosophy](philosophy). As a result of our way of working, there are some choices that we try to apply to all models:
- Composition is generally favored over-abstraction
- Duplicating code is not always bad if it strongly improves the readability or accessibility of a model
- Model files are as self-contained as possible so that when you read the code of a specific model, you ideally only
have to look into the respective `modeling_....py` file.
In our opinion, the library's code is not just a means to provide a product, *e.g.* the ability to use BERT for
inference, but also as the very product that we want to improve. Hence, when adding a model, the user is not only the
person who will use your model, but also everybody who will read, try to understand, and possibly tweak your code.
With this in mind, let's go a bit deeper into the general library design.
### Overview of models
To successfully add a model, it is important to understand the interaction between your model and its config,
[`PreTrainedModel`], and [`PretrainedConfig`]. For exemplary purposes, we will
call the model to be added to 🤗 Transformers `BrandNewBert`.
Let's take a look:
<img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers_overview.png"/>
As you can see, we do make use of inheritance in 🤗 Transformers, but we keep the level of abstraction to an absolute
minimum. There are never more than two levels of abstraction for any model in the library. `BrandNewBertModel`
inherits from `BrandNewBertPreTrainedModel` which in turn inherits from [`PreTrainedModel`] and
that's it. As a general rule, we want to make sure that a new model only depends on
[`PreTrainedModel`]. The important functionalities that are automatically provided to every new
model are [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`] and
[`~PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`], which are used for serialization and deserialization. All of the
other important functionalities, such as `BrandNewBertModel.forward` should be completely defined in the new
`modeling_brand_new_bert.py` script. Next, we want to make sure that a model with a specific head layer, such as
`BrandNewBertForMaskedLM` does not inherit from `BrandNewBertModel`, but rather uses `BrandNewBertModel`
as a component that can be called in its forward pass to keep the level of abstraction low. Every new model requires a
configuration class, called `BrandNewBertConfig`. This configuration is always stored as an attribute in
[`PreTrainedModel`], and thus can be accessed via the `config` attribute for all classes
inheriting from `BrandNewBertPreTrainedModel`:
```python
model = BrandNewBertModel.from_pretrained("brandy/brand_new_bert")
model.config # model has access to its config
```
Similar to the model, the configuration inherits basic serialization and deserialization functionalities from
[`PretrainedConfig`]. Note that the configuration and the model are always serialized into two
different formats - the model to a *pytorch_model.bin* file and the configuration to a *config.json* file. Calling
the model's [`~PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`] will automatically call
the config's [`~PretrainedConfig.save_pretrained`], so that both model and configuration are saved.
### Code style
When coding your new model, keep in mind that Transformers is an opinionated library and we have a few quirks of our
own regarding how code should be written :-)
1. The forward pass of your model should be fully written in the modeling file while being fully independent of other
models in the library. If you want to reuse a block from another model, copy the code and paste it with a
`# Copied from` comment on top (see [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v4.17.0/src/transformers/models/roberta/modeling_roberta.py#L160)
for a good example and [there](pr_checks#check-copies) for more documentation on Copied from).
2. The code should be fully understandable, even by a non-native English speaker. This means you should pick
descriptive variable names and avoid abbreviations. As an example, `activation` is preferred to `act`.
One-letter variable names are strongly discouraged unless it's an index in a for loop.
3. More generally we prefer longer explicit code to short magical one.
4. Avoid subclassing `nn.Sequential` in PyTorch but subclass `nn.Module` and write the forward pass, so that anyone
using your code can quickly debug it by adding print statements or breaking points.
5. Your function signature should be type-annotated. For the rest, good variable names are way more readable and
understandable than type annotations.
### Overview of tokenizers
Not quite ready yet :-( This section will be added soon!
## Step-by-step recipe to add a model to 🤗 Transformers
Everyone has different preferences of how to port a model so it can be very helpful for you to take a look at summaries
of how other contributors ported models to Hugging Face. Here is a list of community blog posts on how to port a model:
1. [Porting GPT2 Model](https://medium.com/huggingface/from-tensorflow-to-pytorch-265f40ef2a28) by [Thomas](https://huggingface.co/thomwolf)
2. [Porting WMT19 MT Model](https://huggingface.co/blog/porting-fsmt) by [Stas](https://huggingface.co/stas)
From experience, we can tell you that the most important things to keep in mind when adding a model are:
- Don't reinvent the wheel! Most parts of the code you will add for the new 🤗 Transformers model already exist
somewhere in 🤗 Transformers. Take some time to find similar, already existing models and tokenizers you can copy
from. [grep](https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/) and [rg](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep) are your
friends. Note that it might very well happen that your model's tokenizer is based on one model implementation, and
your model's modeling code on another one. *E.g.* FSMT's modeling code is based on BART, while FSMT's tokenizer code
is based on XLM.
- It's more of an engineering challenge than a scientific challenge. You should spend more time creating an
efficient debugging environment rather than trying to understand all theoretical aspects of the model in the paper.
- Ask for help, when you're stuck! Models are the core component of 🤗 Transformers so we at Hugging Face are more
than happy to help you at every step to add your model. Don't hesitate to ask if you notice you are not making
progress.
In the following, we try to give you a general recipe that we found most useful when porting a model to 🤗 Transformers.
The following list is a summary of everything that has to be done to add a model and can be used by you as a To-Do
List:
☐ (Optional) Understood the model's theoretical aspects<br>
☐ Prepared 🤗 Transformers dev environment<br>
☐ Set up debugging environment of the original repository<br>
☐ Created script that successfully runs the `forward()` pass using the original repository and checkpoint<br>
☐ Successfully added the model skeleton to 🤗 Transformers<br>
☐ Successfully converted original checkpoint to 🤗 Transformers checkpoint<br>
☐ Successfully ran `forward()` pass in 🤗 Transformers that gives identical output to original checkpoint<br>
☐ Finished model tests in 🤗 Transformers<br>
☐ Successfully added tokenizer in 🤗 Transformers<br>
☐ Run end-to-end integration tests<br>
☐ Finished docs<br>
☐ Uploaded model weights to the Hub<br>
☐ Submitted the pull request<br>
☐ (Optional) Added a demo notebook
To begin with, we usually recommend starting by getting a good theoretical understanding of `BrandNewBert`. However,
if you prefer to understand the theoretical aspects of the model *on-the-job*, then it is totally fine to directly dive
into the `BrandNewBert`'s code-base. This option might suit you better if your engineering skills are better than
your theoretical skill, if you have trouble understanding `BrandNewBert`'s paper, or if you just enjoy programming
much more than reading scientific papers.
### 1. (Optional) Theoretical aspects of BrandNewBert
You should take some time to read *BrandNewBert's* paper, if such descriptive work exists. There might be large
sections of the paper that are difficult to understand. If this is the case, this is fine - don't worry! The goal is
not to get a deep theoretical understanding of the paper, but to extract the necessary information required to
effectively re-implement the model in 🤗 Transformers. That being said, you don't have to spend too much time on the
theoretical aspects, but rather focus on the practical ones, namely:
- What type of model is *brand_new_bert*? BERT-like encoder-only model? GPT2-like decoder-only model? BART-like
encoder-decoder model? Look at the [model_summary](model_summary) if you're not familiar with the differences between those.
- What are the applications of *brand_new_bert*? Text classification? Text generation? Seq2Seq tasks, *e.g.,*
summarization?
- What is the novel feature of the model that makes it different from BERT/GPT-2/BART?
- Which of the already existing [🤗 Transformers models](https://huggingface.co/transformers/#contents) is most
similar to *brand_new_bert*?
- What type of tokenizer is used? A sentencepiece tokenizer? Word piece tokenizer? Is it the same tokenizer as used
for BERT or BART?
After you feel like you have gotten a good overview of the architecture of the model, you might want to write to the
Hugging Face team with any questions you might have. This might include questions regarding the model's architecture,
its attention layer, etc. We will be more than happy to help you.
### 2. Next prepare your environment
1. Fork the [repository](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) by clicking on the ‘Fork' button on the
repository's page. This creates a copy of the code under your GitHub user account.
2. Clone your `transformers` fork to your local disk, and add the base repository as a remote:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/[your Github handle]/transformers.git
cd transformers
git remote add upstream https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
```
3. Set up a development environment, for instance by running the following command:
```bash
python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
Depending on your OS, and since the number of optional dependencies of Transformers is growing, you might get a
failure with this command. If that's the case make sure to install the Deep Learning framework you are working with
(PyTorch, TensorFlow and/or Flax) then do:
```bash
pip install -e ".[quality]"
```
which should be enough for most use cases. You can then return to the parent directory
```bash
cd ..
```
4. We recommend adding the PyTorch version of *brand_new_bert* to Transformers. To install PyTorch, please follow the
instructions on https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.
**Note:** You don't need to have CUDA installed. Making the new model work on CPU is sufficient.
5. To port *brand_new_bert*, you will also need access to its original repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/org_that_created_brand_new_bert_org/brand_new_bert.git
cd brand_new_bert
pip install -e .
```
Now you have set up a development environment to port *brand_new_bert* to 🤗 Transformers.
### 3.-4. Run a pretrained checkpoint using the original repository
At first, you will work on the original *brand_new_bert* repository. Often, the original implementation is very
“researchy”. Meaning that documentation might be lacking and the code can be difficult to understand. But this should
be exactly your motivation to reimplement *brand_new_bert*. At Hugging Face, one of our main goals is to *make people
stand on the shoulders of giants* which translates here very well into taking a working model and rewriting it to make
it as **accessible, user-friendly, and beautiful** as possible. This is the number-one motivation to re-implement
models into 🤗 Transformers - trying to make complex new NLP technology accessible to **everybody**.
You should start thereby by diving into the original repository.
Successfully running the official pretrained model in the original repository is often **the most difficult** step.
From our experience, it is very important to spend some time getting familiar with the original code-base. You need to
figure out the following:
- Where to find the pretrained weights?
- How to load the pretrained weights into the corresponding model?
- How to run the tokenizer independently from the model?
- Trace one forward pass so that you know which classes and functions are required for a simple forward pass. Usually,
you only have to reimplement those functions.
- Be able to locate the important components of the model: Where is the model's class? Are there model sub-classes,
*e.g.* EncoderModel, DecoderModel? Where is the self-attention layer? Are there multiple different attention layers,
*e.g.* *self-attention*, *cross-attention*...?
- How can you debug the model in the original environment of the repo? Do you have to add *print* statements, can you
work with an interactive debugger like *ipdb*, or should you use an efficient IDE to debug the model, like PyCharm?
It is very important that before you start the porting process, you can **efficiently** debug code in the original
repository! Also, remember that you are working with an open-source library, so do not hesitate to open an issue, or
even a pull request in the original repository. The maintainers of this repository are most likely very happy about
someone looking into their code!
At this point, it is really up to you which debugging environment and strategy you prefer to use to debug the original
model. We strongly advise against setting up a costly GPU environment, but simply work on a CPU both when starting to
dive into the original repository and also when starting to write the 🤗 Transformers implementation of the model. Only
at the very end, when the model has already been successfully ported to 🤗 Transformers, one should verify that the
model also works as expected on GPU.
In general, there are two possible debugging environments for running the original model
- [Jupyter notebooks](https://jupyter.org/) / [google colab](https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/intro.ipynb)
- Local python scripts.
Jupyter notebooks have the advantage that they allow for cell-by-cell execution which can be helpful to better split
logical components from one another and to have faster debugging cycles as intermediate results can be stored. Also,
notebooks are often easier to share with other contributors, which might be very helpful if you want to ask the Hugging
Face team for help. If you are familiar with Jupyter notebooks, we strongly recommend you work with them.
The obvious disadvantage of Jupyter notebooks is that if you are not used to working with them you will have to spend
some time adjusting to the new programming environment and you might not be able to use your known debugging tools
anymore, like `ipdb`.
For each code-base, a good first step is always to load a **small** pretrained checkpoint and to be able to reproduce a
single forward pass using a dummy integer vector of input IDs as an input. Such a script could look like this (in
pseudocode):
```python
model = BrandNewBertModel.load_pretrained_checkpoint("/path/to/checkpoint/")
input_ids = [0, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7, 9] # vector of input ids
original_output = model.predict(input_ids)
```
Next, regarding the debugging strategy, there are generally a few from which to choose from:
- Decompose the original model into many small testable components and run a forward pass on each of those for
verification
- Decompose the original model only into the original *tokenizer* and the original *model*, run a forward pass on
those, and use intermediate print statements or breakpoints for verification
Again, it is up to you which strategy to choose. Often, one or the other is advantageous depending on the original code
base.
If the original code-base allows you to decompose the model into smaller sub-components, *e.g.* if the original
code-base can easily be run in eager mode, it is usually worth the effort to do so. There are some important advantages
to taking the more difficult road in the beginning:
- at a later stage when comparing the original model to the Hugging Face implementation, you can verify automatically
for each component individually that the corresponding component of the 🤗 Transformers implementation matches instead
of relying on visual comparison via print statements
- it can give you some rope to decompose the big problem of porting a model into smaller problems of just porting
individual components and thus structure your work better
- separating the model into logical meaningful components will help you to get a better overview of the model's design
and thus to better understand the model
- at a later stage those component-by-component tests help you to ensure that no regression occurs as you continue
changing your code
[Lysandre's](https://gist.github.com/LysandreJik/db4c948f6b4483960de5cbac598ad4ed) integration checks for ELECTRA
gives a nice example of how this can be done.
However, if the original code-base is very complex or only allows intermediate components to be run in a compiled mode,
it might be too time-consuming or even impossible to separate the model into smaller testable sub-components. A good
example is [T5's MeshTensorFlow](https://github.com/tensorflow/mesh/tree/master/mesh_tensorflow) library which is
very complex and does not offer a simple way to decompose the model into its sub-components. For such libraries, one
often relies on verifying print statements.
No matter which strategy you choose, the recommended procedure is often the same that you should start to debug the
starting layers first and the ending layers last.
It is recommended that you retrieve the output, either by print statements or sub-component functions, of the following
layers in the following order:
1. Retrieve the input IDs passed to the model
2. Retrieve the word embeddings
3. Retrieve the input of the first Transformer layer
4. Retrieve the output of the first Transformer layer
5. Retrieve the output of the following n - 1 Transformer layers
6. Retrieve the output of the whole BrandNewBert Model
Input IDs should thereby consists of an array of integers, *e.g.* `input_ids = [0, 4, 4, 3, 2, 4, 1, 7, 19]`
The outputs of the following layers often consist of multi-dimensional float arrays and can look like this:
```
[[
[-0.1465, -0.6501, 0.1993, ..., 0.1451, 0.3430, 0.6024],
[-0.4417, -0.5920, 0.3450, ..., -0.3062, 0.6182, 0.7132],
[-0.5009, -0.7122, 0.4548, ..., -0.3662, 0.6091, 0.7648],
...,
[-0.5613, -0.6332, 0.4324, ..., -0.3792, 0.7372, 0.9288],
[-0.5416, -0.6345, 0.4180, ..., -0.3564, 0.6992, 0.9191],
[-0.5334, -0.6403, 0.4271, ..., -0.3339, 0.6533, 0.8694]]],
```
We expect that every model added to 🤗 Transformers passes a couple of integration tests, meaning that the original
model and the reimplemented version in 🤗 Transformers have to give the exact same output up to a precision of 0.001!
Since it is normal that the exact same model written in different libraries can give a slightly different output
depending on the library framework, we accept an error tolerance of 1e-3 (0.001). It is not enough if the model gives
nearly the same output, they have to be almost identical. Therefore, you will certainly compare the intermediate
outputs of the 🤗 Transformers version multiple times against the intermediate outputs of the original implementation of
*brand_new_bert* in which case an **efficient** debugging environment of the original repository is absolutely
important. Here is some advice to make your debugging environment as efficient as possible.
- Find the best way of debugging intermediate results. Is the original repository written in PyTorch? Then you should
probably take the time to write a longer script that decomposes the original model into smaller sub-components to
retrieve intermediate values. Is the original repository written in Tensorflow 1? Then you might have to rely on
TensorFlow print operations like [tf.print](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/print) to output
intermediate values. Is the original repository written in Jax? Then make sure that the model is **not jitted** when
running the forward pass, *e.g.* check-out [this link](https://github.com/google/jax/issues/196).
- Use the smallest pretrained checkpoint you can find. The smaller the checkpoint, the faster your debug cycle
becomes. It is not efficient if your pretrained model is so big that your forward pass takes more than 10 seconds.
In case only very large checkpoints are available, it might make more sense to create a dummy model in the new
environment with randomly initialized weights and save those weights for comparison with the 🤗 Transformers version
of your model
- Make sure you are using the easiest way of calling a forward pass in the original repository. Ideally, you want to
find the function in the original repository that **only** calls a single forward pass, *i.e.* that is often called
`predict`, `evaluate`, `forward` or `__call__`. You don't want to debug a function that calls `forward`
multiple times, *e.g.* to generate text, like `autoregressive_sample`, `generate`.
- Try to separate the tokenization from the model's *forward* pass. If the original repository shows examples where
you have to input a string, then try to find out where in the forward call the string input is changed to input ids
and start from this point. This might mean that you have to possibly write a small script yourself or change the
original code so that you can directly input the ids instead of an input string.
- Make sure that the model in your debugging setup is **not** in training mode, which often causes the model to yield
random outputs due to multiple dropout layers in the model. Make sure that the forward pass in your debugging
environment is **deterministic** so that the dropout layers are not used. Or use *transformers.utils.set_seed*
if the old and new implementations are in the same framework.
The following section gives you more specific details/tips on how you can do this for *brand_new_bert*.
### 5.-14. Port BrandNewBert to 🤗 Transformers
Next, you can finally start adding new code to 🤗 Transformers. Go into the clone of your 🤗 Transformers' fork:
```bash
cd transformers
```
In the special case that you are adding a model whose architecture exactly matches the model architecture of an
existing model you only have to add a conversion script as described in [this section](#write-a-conversion-script).
In this case, you can just re-use the whole model architecture of the already existing model.
Otherwise, let's start generating a new model. You have two choices here:
- `transformers-cli add-new-model-like` to add a new model like an existing one
- `transformers-cli add-new-model` to add a new model from our template (will look like BERT or Bart depending on the type of model you select)
In both cases, you will be prompted with a questionnaire to fill in the basic information of your model. The second command requires to install `cookiecutter`, you can find more information on it [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/templates/adding_a_new_model).
**Open a Pull Request on the main huggingface/transformers repo**
Before starting to adapt the automatically generated code, now is the time to open a “Work in progress (WIP)” pull
request, *e.g.* “[WIP] Add *brand_new_bert*”, in 🤗 Transformers so that you and the Hugging Face team can work
side-by-side on integrating the model into 🤗 Transformers.
You should do the following:
1. Create a branch with a descriptive name from your main branch
```bash
git checkout -b add_brand_new_bert
```
2. Commit the automatically generated code:
```bash
git add .
git commit
```
3. Fetch and rebase to current main
```bash
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/main
```
4. Push the changes to your account using:
```bash
git push -u origin a-descriptive-name-for-my-changes
```
5. Once you are satisfied, go to the webpage of your fork on GitHub. Click on “Pull request”. Make sure to add the
GitHub handle of some members of the Hugging Face team as reviewers, so that the Hugging Face team gets notified for
future changes.
6. Change the PR into a draft by clicking on “Convert to draft” on the right of the GitHub pull request web page.
In the following, whenever you have made some progress, don't forget to commit your work and push it to your account so
that it shows in the pull request. Additionally, you should make sure to update your work with the current main from
time to time by doing:
```bash
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/main
```
In general, all questions you might have regarding the model or your implementation should be asked in your PR and
discussed/solved in the PR. This way, the Hugging Face team will always be notified when you are committing new code or
if you have a question. It is often very helpful to point the Hugging Face team to your added code so that the Hugging
Face team can efficiently understand your problem or question.
To do so, you can go to the “Files changed” tab where you see all of your changes, go to a line regarding which you
want to ask a question, and click on the “+” symbol to add a comment. Whenever a question or problem has been solved,
you can click on the “Resolve” button of the created comment.
In the same way, the Hugging Face team will open comments when reviewing your code. We recommend asking most questions
on GitHub on your PR. For some very general questions that are not very useful for the public, feel free to ping the
Hugging Face team by Slack or email.
**5. Adapt the generated models code for brand_new_bert**
At first, we will focus only on the model itself and not care about the tokenizer. All the relevant code should be
found in the generated files `src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/modeling_brand_new_bert.py` and
`src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/configuration_brand_new_bert.py`.
Now you can finally start coding :). The generated code in
`src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/modeling_brand_new_bert.py` will either have the same architecture as BERT if
it's an encoder-only model or BART if it's an encoder-decoder model. At this point, you should remind yourself what
you've learned in the beginning about the theoretical aspects of the model: *How is the model different from BERT or
BART?*". Implement those changes which often means changing the *self-attention* layer, the order of the normalization
layer, etc… Again, it is often useful to look at the similar architecture of already existing models in Transformers to
get a better feeling of how your model should be implemented.
**Note** that at this point, you don't have to be very sure that your code is fully correct or clean. Rather, it is
advised to add a first *unclean*, copy-pasted version of the original code to
`src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/modeling_brand_new_bert.py` until you feel like all the necessary code is
added. From our experience, it is much more efficient to quickly add a first version of the required code and
improve/correct the code iteratively with the conversion script as described in the next section. The only thing that
has to work at this point is that you can instantiate the 🤗 Transformers implementation of *brand_new_bert*, *i.e.* the
following command should work:
```python
from transformers import BrandNewBertModel, BrandNewBertConfig
model = BrandNewBertModel(BrandNewBertConfig())
```
The above command will create a model according to the default parameters as defined in `BrandNewBertConfig()` with
random weights, thus making sure that the `init()` methods of all components works.
Note that all random initialization should happen in the `_init_weights` method of your `BrandnewBertPreTrainedModel`
class. It should initialize all leaf modules depending on the variables of the config. Here is an example with the
BERT `_init_weights` method:
```py
def _init_weights(self, module):
"""Initialize the weights"""
if isinstance(module, nn.Linear):
module.weight.data.normal_(mean=0.0, std=self.config.initializer_range)
if module.bias is not None:
module.bias.data.zero_()
elif isinstance(module, nn.Embedding):
module.weight.data.normal_(mean=0.0, std=self.config.initializer_range)
if module.padding_idx is not None:
module.weight.data[module.padding_idx].zero_()
elif isinstance(module, nn.LayerNorm):
module.bias.data.zero_()
module.weight.data.fill_(1.0)
```
You can have some more custom schemes if you need a special initialization for some modules. For instance, in
`Wav2Vec2ForPreTraining`, the last two linear layers need to have the initialization of the regular PyTorch `nn.Linear`
but all the other ones should use an initialization as above. This is coded like this:
```py
def _init_weights(self, module):
"""Initialize the weights"""
if isinstance(module, Wav2Vec2ForPreTraining):
module.project_hid.reset_parameters()
module.project_q.reset_parameters()
module.project_hid._is_hf_initialized = True
module.project_q._is_hf_initialized = True
elif isinstance(module, nn.Linear):
module.weight.data.normal_(mean=0.0, std=self.config.initializer_range)
if module.bias is not None:
module.bias.data.zero_()
```
The `_is_hf_initialized` flag is internally used to make sure we only initialize a submodule once. By setting it to
`True` for `module.project_q` and `module.project_hid`, we make sure the custom initialization we did is not overridden later on,
the `_init_weights` function won't be applied to them.
**6. Write a conversion script**
Next, you should write a conversion script that lets you convert the checkpoint you used to debug *brand_new_bert* in
the original repository to a checkpoint compatible with your just created 🤗 Transformers implementation of
*brand_new_bert*. It is not advised to write the conversion script from scratch, but rather to look through already
existing conversion scripts in 🤗 Transformers for one that has been used to convert a similar model that was written in
the same framework as *brand_new_bert*. Usually, it is enough to copy an already existing conversion script and
slightly adapt it for your use case. Don't hesitate to ask the Hugging Face team to point you to a similar already
existing conversion script for your model.
- If you are porting a model from TensorFlow to PyTorch, a good starting point might be BERT's conversion script [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/7acfa95afb8194f8f9c1f4d2c6028224dbed35a2/src/transformers/models/bert/modeling_bert.py#L91)
- If you are porting a model from PyTorch to PyTorch, a good starting point might be BART's conversion script [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/bart/convert_bart_original_pytorch_checkpoint_to_pytorch.py)
In the following, we'll quickly explain how PyTorch models store layer weights and define layer names. In PyTorch, the
name of a layer is defined by the name of the class attribute you give the layer. Let's define a dummy model in
PyTorch, called `SimpleModel` as follows:
```python
from torch import nn
class SimpleModel(nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.dense = nn.Linear(10, 10)
self.intermediate = nn.Linear(10, 10)
self.layer_norm = nn.LayerNorm(10)
```
Now we can create an instance of this model definition which will fill all weights: `dense`, `intermediate`,
`layer_norm` with random weights. We can print the model to see its architecture
```python
model = SimpleModel()
print(model)
```
This will print out the following:
```
SimpleModel(
(dense): Linear(in_features=10, out_features=10, bias=True)
(intermediate): Linear(in_features=10, out_features=10, bias=True)
(layer_norm): LayerNorm((10,), eps=1e-05, elementwise_affine=True)
)
```
We can see that the layer names are defined by the name of the class attribute in PyTorch. You can print out the weight
values of a specific layer:
```python
print(model.dense.weight.data)
```
to see that the weights were randomly initialized
```

0.2220, 0.2358]]).
```
In the conversion script, you should fill those randomly initialized weights with the exact weights of the
corresponding layer in the checkpoint. *E.g.*
```python
# retrieve matching layer weights, e.g. by
# recursive algorithm
layer_name = "dense"
pretrained_weight = array_of_dense_layer
model_pointer = getattr(model, "dense")
model_pointer.weight.data = torch.from_numpy(pretrained_weight)
```
While doing so, you must verify that each randomly initialized weight of your PyTorch model and its corresponding
pretrained checkpoint weight exactly match in both **shape and name**. To do so, it is **necessary** to add assert
statements for the shape and print out the names of the checkpoints weights. E.g. you should add statements like:
```python
assert (
model_pointer.weight.shape == pretrained_weight.shape
), f"Pointer shape of random weight {model_pointer.shape} and array shape of checkpoint weight {pretrained_weight.shape} mismatched"
```
Besides, you should also print out the names of both weights to make sure they match, *e.g.*
```python
logger.info(f"Initialize PyTorch weight {layer_name} from {pretrained_weight.name}")
```
If either the shape or the name doesn't match, you probably assigned the wrong checkpoint weight to a randomly
initialized layer of the 🤗 Transformers implementation.
An incorrect shape is most likely due to an incorrect setting of the config parameters in `BrandNewBertConfig()` that
do not exactly match those that were used for the checkpoint you want to convert. However, it could also be that
PyTorch's implementation of a layer requires the weight to be transposed beforehand.
Finally, you should also check that **all** required weights are initialized and print out all checkpoint weights that
were not used for initialization to make sure the model is correctly converted. It is completely normal, that the
conversion trials fail with either a wrong shape statement or a wrong name assignment. This is most likely because either
you used incorrect parameters in `BrandNewBertConfig()`, have a wrong architecture in the 🤗 Transformers
implementation, you have a bug in the `init()` functions of one of the components of the 🤗 Transformers
implementation or you need to transpose one of the checkpoint weights.
This step should be iterated with the previous step until all weights of the checkpoint are correctly loaded in the
Transformers model. Having correctly loaded the checkpoint into the 🤗 Transformers implementation, you can then save
the model under a folder of your choice `/path/to/converted/checkpoint/folder` that should then contain both a
`pytorch_model.bin` file and a `config.json` file:
```python
model.save_pretrained("/path/to/converted/checkpoint/folder")
```
**7. Implement the forward pass**
Having managed to correctly load the pretrained weights into the 🤗 Transformers implementation, you should now make
sure that the forward pass is correctly implemented. In [Get familiar with the original repository](#3-4-run-a-pretrained-checkpoint-using-the-original-repository), you have already created a script that runs a forward
pass of the model using the original repository. Now you should write an analogous script using the 🤗 Transformers
implementation instead of the original one. It should look as follows:
```python
model = BrandNewBertModel.from_pretrained("/path/to/converted/checkpoint/folder")
input_ids = [0, 4, 4, 3, 2, 4, 1, 7, 19]
output = model(input_ids).last_hidden_states
```
It is very likely that the 🤗 Transformers implementation and the original model implementation don't give the exact
same output the very first time or that the forward pass throws an error. Don't be disappointed - it's expected! First,
you should make sure that the forward pass doesn't throw any errors. It often happens that the wrong dimensions are
used leading to a *Dimensionality mismatch* error or that the wrong data type object is used, *e.g.* `torch.long`
instead of `torch.float32`. Don't hesitate to ask the Hugging Face team for help, if you don't manage to solve
certain errors.
The final part to make sure the 🤗 Transformers implementation works correctly is to ensure that the outputs are
equivalent to a precision of `1e-3`. First, you should ensure that the output shapes are identical, *i.e.*
`outputs.shape` should yield the same value for the script of the 🤗 Transformers implementation and the original
implementation. Next, you should make sure that the output values are identical as well. This one of the most difficult
parts of adding a new model. Common mistakes why the outputs are not identical are:
- Some layers were not added, *i.e.* an *activation* layer was not added, or the residual connection was forgotten
- The word embedding matrix was not tied
- The wrong positional embeddings are used because the original implementation uses on offset
- Dropout is applied during the forward pass. To fix this make sure *model.training is False* and that no dropout
layer is falsely activated during the forward pass, *i.e.* pass *self.training* to [PyTorch's functional dropout](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.functional.html?highlight=dropout#torch.nn.functional.dropout)
The best way to fix the problem is usually to look at the forward pass of the original implementation and the 🤗
Transformers implementation side-by-side and check if there are any differences. Ideally, you should debug/print out
intermediate outputs of both implementations of the forward pass to find the exact position in the network where the 🤗
Transformers implementation shows a different output than the original implementation. First, make sure that the
hard-coded `input_ids` in both scripts are identical. Next, verify that the outputs of the first transformation of
the `input_ids` (usually the word embeddings) are identical. And then work your way up to the very last layer of the
network. At some point, you will notice a difference between the two implementations, which should point you to the bug
in the 🤗 Transformers implementation. From our experience, a simple and efficient way is to add many print statements
in both the original implementation and 🤗 Transformers implementation, at the same positions in the network
respectively, and to successively remove print statements showing the same values for intermediate presentations.
When you're confident that both implementations yield the same output, verify the outputs with
`torch.allclose(original_output, output, atol=1e-3)`, you're done with the most difficult part! Congratulations - the
work left to be done should be a cakewalk 😊.
**8. Adding all necessary model tests**
At this point, you have successfully added a new model. However, it is very much possible that the model does not yet
fully comply with the required design. To make sure, the implementation is fully compatible with 🤗 Transformers, all
common tests should pass. The Cookiecutter should have automatically added a test file for your model, probably under
the same `tests/models/brand_new_bert/test_modeling_brand_new_bert.py`. Run this test file to verify that all common
tests pass:
```bash
pytest tests/models/brand_new_bert/test_modeling_brand_new_bert.py
```
Having fixed all common tests, it is now crucial to ensure that all the nice work you have done is well tested, so that
- a) The community can easily understand your work by looking at specific tests of *brand_new_bert*
- b) Future changes to your model will not break any important feature of the model.
At first, integration tests should be added. Those integration tests essentially do the same as the debugging scripts
you used earlier to implement the model to 🤗 Transformers. A template of those model tests has already added by the
Cookiecutter, called `BrandNewBertModelIntegrationTests` and only has to be filled out by you. To ensure that those
tests are passing, run
```bash
RUN_SLOW=1 pytest -sv tests/models/brand_new_bert/test_modeling_brand_new_bert.py::BrandNewBertModelIntegrationTests
```
<Tip>
In case you are using Windows, you should replace `RUN_SLOW=1` with `SET RUN_SLOW=1`
</Tip>
Second, all features that are special to *brand_new_bert* should be tested additionally in a separate test under
`BrandNewBertModelTester`/`BrandNewBertModelTest`. This part is often forgotten but is extremely useful in two
ways:
- It helps to transfer the knowledge you have acquired during the model addition to the community by showing how the
special features of *brand_new_bert* should work.
- Future contributors can quickly test changes to the model by running those special tests.
**9. Implement the tokenizer**
Next, we should add the tokenizer of *brand_new_bert*. Usually, the tokenizer is equivalent to or very similar to an
already existing tokenizer of 🤗 Transformers.
It is very important to find/extract the original tokenizer file and to manage to load this file into the 🤗
Transformers' implementation of the tokenizer.
To ensure that the tokenizer works correctly, it is recommended to first create a script in the original repository
that inputs a string and returns the `input_ids`. It could look similar to this (in pseudo-code):
```python
input_str = "This is a long example input string containing special characters .$?-, numbers 2872 234 12 and words."
model = BrandNewBertModel.load_pretrained_checkpoint("/path/to/checkpoint/")
input_ids = model.tokenize(input_str)
```
You might have to take a deeper look again into the original repository to find the correct tokenizer function or you
might even have to do changes to your clone of the original repository to only output the `input_ids`. Having written
a functional tokenization script that uses the original repository, an analogous script for 🤗 Transformers should be
created. It should look similar to this:
```python
from transformers import BrandNewBertTokenizer
input_str = "This is a long example input string containing special characters .$?-, numbers 2872 234 12 and words."
tokenizer = BrandNewBertTokenizer.from_pretrained("/path/to/tokenizer/folder/")
input_ids = tokenizer(input_str).input_ids
```
When both `input_ids` yield the same values, as a final step a tokenizer test file should also be added.
Analogous to the modeling test files of *brand_new_bert*, the tokenization test files of *brand_new_bert* should
contain a couple of hard-coded integration tests.
**10. Run End-to-end integration tests**
Having added the tokenizer, you should also add a couple of end-to-end integration tests using both the model and the
tokenizer to `tests/models/brand_new_bert/test_modeling_brand_new_bert.py` in 🤗 Transformers.
Such a test should show on a meaningful
text-to-text sample that the 🤗 Transformers implementation works as expected. A meaningful text-to-text sample can
include *e.g.* a source-to-target-translation pair, an article-to-summary pair, a question-to-answer pair, etc… If none
of the ported checkpoints has been fine-tuned on a downstream task it is enough to simply rely on the model tests. In a
final step to ensure that the model is fully functional, it is advised that you also run all tests on GPU. It can
happen that you forgot to add some `.to(self.device)` statements to internal tensors of the model, which in such a
test would show in an error. In case you have no access to a GPU, the Hugging Face team can take care of running those
tests for you.
**11. Add Docstring**
Now, all the necessary functionality for *brand_new_bert* is added - you're almost done! The only thing left to add is
a nice docstring and a doc page. The Cookiecutter should have added a template file called
`docs/source/model_doc/brand_new_bert.md` that you should fill out. Users of your model will usually first look at
this page before using your model. Hence, the documentation must be understandable and concise. It is very useful for
the community to add some *Tips* to show how the model should be used. Don't hesitate to ping the Hugging Face team
regarding the docstrings.
Next, make sure that the docstring added to `src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/modeling_brand_new_bert.py` is
correct and included all necessary inputs and outputs. We have a detailed guide about writing documentation and our docstring format [here](writing-documentation). It is always good to remind oneself that documentation should
be treated at least as carefully as the code in 🤗 Transformers since the documentation is usually the first contact
point of the community with the model.
**Code refactor**
Great, now you have added all the necessary code for *brand_new_bert*. At this point, you should correct some potential
incorrect code style by running:
```bash
make style
```
and verify that your coding style passes the quality check:
```bash
make quality
```
There are a couple of other very strict design tests in 🤗 Transformers that might still be failing, which shows up in
the tests of your pull request. This is often because of some missing information in the docstring or some incorrect
naming. The Hugging Face team will surely help you if you're stuck here.
Lastly, it is always a good idea to refactor one's code after having ensured that the code works correctly. With all
tests passing, now it's a good time to go over the added code again and do some refactoring.
You have now finished the coding part, congratulation! 🎉 You are Awesome! 😎
**12. Upload the models to the model hub**
In this final part, you should convert and upload all checkpoints to the model hub and add a model card for each
uploaded model checkpoint. You can get familiar with the hub functionalities by reading our [Model sharing and uploading Page](model_sharing). You should work alongside the Hugging Face team here to decide on a fitting name for each
checkpoint and to get the required access rights to be able to upload the model under the author's organization of
*brand_new_bert*. The `push_to_hub` method, present in all models in `transformers`, is a quick and efficient way to push your checkpoint to the hub. A little snippet is pasted below:
```python
brand_new_bert.push_to_hub("brand_new_bert")
# Uncomment the following line to push to an organization.
# brand_new_bert.push_to_hub("<organization>/brand_new_bert")
```
It is worth spending some time to create fitting model cards for each checkpoint. The model cards should highlight the
specific characteristics of this particular checkpoint, *e.g.* On which dataset was the checkpoint
pretrained/fine-tuned on? On what down-stream task should the model be used? And also include some code on how to
correctly use the model.
**13. (Optional) Add notebook**
It is very helpful to add a notebook that showcases in-detail how *brand_new_bert* can be used for inference and/or
fine-tuned on a downstream task. This is not mandatory to merge your PR, but very useful for the community.
**14. Submit your finished PR**
You're done programming now and can move to the last step, which is getting your PR merged into main. Usually, the
Hugging Face team should have helped you already at this point, but it is worth taking some time to give your finished
PR a nice description and eventually add comments to your code, if you want to point out certain design choices to your
reviewer.
### Share your work!!
Now, it's time to get some credit from the community for your work! Having completed a model addition is a major
contribution to Transformers and the whole NLP community. Your code and the ported pre-trained models will certainly be
used by hundreds and possibly even thousands of developers and researchers. You should be proud of your work and share
your achievements with the community.
**You have made another model that is super easy to access for everyone in the community! 🤯**

# How to create a custom pipeline?
In this guide, we will see how to create a custom pipeline and share it on the [Hub](https://hf.co/models) or add it to the
🤗 Transformers library.
First and foremost, you need to decide the raw entries the pipeline will be able to take. It can be strings, raw bytes,
dictionaries or whatever seems to be the most likely desired input. Try to keep these inputs as pure Python as possible
as it makes compatibility easier (even through other languages via JSON). Those will be the `inputs` of the
pipeline (`preprocess`).
Then define the `outputs`. Same policy as the `inputs`. The simpler, the better. Those will be the outputs of
`postprocess` method.
Start by inheriting the base class `Pipeline` with the 4 methods needed to implement `preprocess`,
`_forward`, `postprocess`, and `_sanitize_parameters`.
```python
from transformers import Pipeline
class MyPipeline(Pipeline):
def _sanitize_parameters(self, **kwargs):
preprocess_kwargs = {}
if "maybe_arg" in kwargs:
preprocess_kwargs["maybe_arg"] = kwargs["maybe_arg"]
return preprocess_kwargs, {}, {}
def preprocess(self, inputs, maybe_arg=2):
model_input = Tensor(inputs["input_ids"])
return {"model_input": model_input}
def _forward(self, model_inputs):
# model_inputs == {"model_input": model_input}
outputs = self.model(**model_inputs)
# Maybe {"logits": Tensor(...)}
return outputs
def postprocess(self, model_outputs):
best_class = model_outputs["logits"].softmax(-1)
return best_class
```
The structure of this breakdown is to support relatively seamless support for CPU/GPU, while supporting doing
pre/postprocessing on the CPU on different threads
`preprocess` will take the originally defined inputs, and turn them into something feedable to the model. It might
contain more information and is usually a `Dict`.
`_forward` is the implementation detail and is not meant to be called directly. `forward` is the preferred
called method as it contains safeguards to make sure everything is working on the expected device. If anything is
linked to a real model it belongs in the `_forward` method, anything else is in the preprocess/postprocess.
`postprocess` methods will take the output of `_forward` and turn it into the final output that was decided
earlier.
`_sanitize_parameters` exists to allow users to pass any parameters whenever they wish, be it at initialization
time `pipeline(...., maybe_arg=4)` or at call time `pipe = pipeline(...); output = pipe(...., maybe_arg=4)`.
The returns of `_sanitize_parameters` are the 3 dicts of kwargs that will be passed directly to `preprocess`,
`_forward`, and `postprocess`. Don't fill anything if the caller didn't call with any extra parameter. That
allows to keep the default arguments in the function definition which is always more "natural".
A classic example would be a `top_k` argument in the post processing in classification tasks.
```python
>>> pipe = pipeline("my-new-task")
>>> pipe("This is a test")
[{"label": "1-star", "score": 0.8}, {"label": "2-star", "score": 0.1}, {"label": "3-star", "score": 0.05}
{"label": "4-star", "score": 0.025}, {"label": "5-star", "score": 0.025}]
>>> pipe("This is a test", top_k=2)
[{"label": "1-star", "score": 0.8}, {"label": "2-star", "score": 0.1}]
```
In order to achieve that, we'll update our `postprocess` method with a default parameter to `5`. and edit
`_sanitize_parameters` to allow this new parameter.
```python
def postprocess(self, model_outputs, top_k=5):
best_class = model_outputs["logits"].softmax(-1)
# Add logic to handle top_k
return best_class
def _sanitize_parameters(self, **kwargs):
preprocess_kwargs = {}
if "maybe_arg" in kwargs:
preprocess_kwargs["maybe_arg"] = kwargs["maybe_arg"]
postprocess_kwargs = {}
if "top_k" in kwargs:
postprocess_kwargs["top_k"] = kwargs["top_k"]
return preprocess_kwargs, {}, postprocess_kwargs
```
Try to keep the inputs/outputs very simple and ideally JSON-serializable as it makes the pipeline usage very easy
without requiring users to understand new kinds of objects. It's also relatively common to support many different types
of arguments for ease of use (audio files, which can be filenames, URLs or pure bytes)
## Adding it to the list of supported tasks
To register your `new-task` to the list of supported tasks, you have to add it to the `PIPELINE_REGISTRY`:
```python
from transformers.pipelines import PIPELINE_REGISTRY
PIPELINE_REGISTRY.register_pipeline(
"new-task",
pipeline_class=MyPipeline,
pt_model=AutoModelForSequenceClassification,
)
```
You can specify a default model if you want, in which case it should come with a specific revision (which can be the name of a branch or a commit hash, here we took `"abcdef"`) as well as the type:
```python
PIPELINE_REGISTRY.register_pipeline(
"new-task",
pipeline_class=MyPipeline,
pt_model=AutoModelForSequenceClassification,
default={"pt": ("user/awesome_model", "abcdef")},
type="text", # current support type: text, audio, image, multimodal
)
```
## Share your pipeline on the Hub
To share your custom pipeline on the Hub, you just have to save the custom code of your `Pipeline` subclass in a
python file. For instance, let's say we want to use a custom pipeline for sentence pair classification like this:
```py
import numpy as np
from transformers import Pipeline
def softmax(outputs):
maxes = np.max(outputs, axis=-1, keepdims=True)
shifted_exp = np.exp(outputs - maxes)
return shifted_exp / shifted_exp.sum(axis=-1, keepdims=True)
class PairClassificationPipeline(Pipeline):
def _sanitize_parameters(self, **kwargs):
preprocess_kwargs = {}
if "second_text" in kwargs:
preprocess_kwargs["second_text"] = kwargs["second_text"]
return preprocess_kwargs, {}, {}
def preprocess(self, text, second_text=None):
return self.tokenizer(text, text_pair=second_text, return_tensors=self.framework)
def _forward(self, model_inputs):
return self.model(**model_inputs)
def postprocess(self, model_outputs):
logits = model_outputs.logits[0].numpy()
probabilities = softmax(logits)
best_class = np.argmax(probabilities)
label = self.model.config.id2label[best_class]
score = probabilities[best_class].item()
logits = logits.tolist()
return {"label": label, "score": score, "logits": logits}
```
The implementation is framework agnostic, and will work for PyTorch and TensorFlow models. If we have saved this in
a file named `pair_classification.py`, we can then import it and register it like this:
```py
from pair_classification import PairClassificationPipeline
from transformers.pipelines import PIPELINE_REGISTRY
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification
PIPELINE_REGISTRY.register_pipeline(
"pair-classification",
pipeline_class=PairClassificationPipeline,
pt_model=AutoModelForSequenceClassification,
tf_model=TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification,
)
```
Once this is done, we can use it with a pretrained model. For instance `sgugger/finetuned-bert-mrpc` has been
fine-tuned on the MRPC dataset, which classifies pairs of sentences as paraphrases or not.
```py
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("pair-classification", model="sgugger/finetuned-bert-mrpc")
```
Then we can share it on the Hub by using the `save_pretrained` method in a `Repository`:
```py
from huggingface_hub import Repository
repo = Repository("test-dynamic-pipeline", clone_from="{your_username}/test-dynamic-pipeline")
classifier.save_pretrained("test-dynamic-pipeline")
repo.push_to_hub()
```
This will copy the file where you defined `PairClassificationPipeline` inside the folder `"test-dynamic-pipeline"`,
along with saving the model and tokenizer of the pipeline, before pushing everything into the repository
`{your_username}/test-dynamic-pipeline`. After that, anyone can use it as long as they provide the option
`trust_remote_code=True`:
```py
from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline(model="{your_username}/test-dynamic-pipeline", trust_remote_code=True)
```
## Add the pipeline to 🤗 Transformers
If you want to contribute your pipeline to 🤗 Transformers, you will need to add a new module in the `pipelines` submodule
with the code of your pipeline, then add it to the list of tasks defined in `pipelines/__init__.py`.
Then you will need to add tests. Create a new file `tests/test_pipelines_MY_PIPELINE.py` with examples of the other tests.
The `run_pipeline_test` function will be very generic and run on small random models on every possible
architecture as defined by `model_mapping` and `tf_model_mapping`.
This is very important to test future compatibility, meaning if someone adds a new model for
`XXXForQuestionAnswering` then the pipeline test will attempt to run on it. Because the models are random it's
impossible to check for actual values, that's why there is a helper `ANY` that will simply attempt to match the
output of the pipeline TYPE.
You also *need* to implement 2 (ideally 4) tests.
- `test_small_model_pt` : Define 1 small model for this pipeline (doesn't matter if the results don't make sense)
and test the pipeline outputs. The results should be the same as `test_small_model_tf`.
- `test_small_model_tf` : Define 1 small model for this pipeline (doesn't matter if the results don't make sense)
and test the pipeline outputs. The results should be the same as `test_small_model_pt`.
- `test_large_model_pt` (`optional`): Tests the pipeline on a real pipeline where the results are supposed to
make sense. These tests are slow and should be marked as such. Here the goal is to showcase the pipeline and to make
sure there is no drift in future releases.
- `test_large_model_tf` (`optional`): Tests the pipeline on a real pipeline where the results are supposed to
make sense. These tests are slow and should be marked as such. Here the goal is to showcase the pipeline and to make
sure there is no drift in future releases.

# How to convert a 🤗 Transformers model to TensorFlow?
Having multiple frameworks available to use with 🤗 Transformers gives you flexibility to play their strengths when
designing your application, but it implies that compatibility must be added on a per-model basis. The good news is that
adding TensorFlow compatibility to an existing model is simpler than [adding a new model from scratch](add_new_model)!
Whether you wish to have a deeper understanding of large TensorFlow models, make a major open-source contribution, or
enable TensorFlow for your model of choice, this guide is for you.
This guide empowers you, a member of our community, to contribute TensorFlow model weights and/or
architectures to be used in 🤗 Transformers, with minimal supervision from the Hugging Face team. Writing a new model
is no small feat, but hopefully this guide will make it less of a rollercoaster 🎢 and more of a walk in the park 🚶.
Harnessing our collective experiences is absolutely critical to make this process increasingly easier, and thus we
highly encourage that you suggest improvements to this guide!
Before you dive deeper, it is recommended that you check the following resources if you're new to 🤗 Transformers:
- [General overview of 🤗 Transformers](add_new_model#general-overview-of-transformers)
- [Hugging Face's TensorFlow Philosophy](https://huggingface.co/blog/tensorflow-philosophy)
In the remainder of this guide, you will learn what's needed to add a new TensorFlow model architecture, the
procedure to convert PyTorch into TensorFlow model weights, and how to efficiently debug mismatches across ML
frameworks. Let's get started!
<Tip>
Are you unsure whether the model you wish to use already has a corresponding TensorFlow architecture?
Check the `model_type` field of the `config.json` of your model of choice
([example](https://huggingface.co/google-bert/bert-base-uncased/blob/main/config.json#L14)). If the corresponding model folder in
🤗 Transformers has a file whose name starts with "modeling_tf", it means that it has a corresponding TensorFlow
architecture ([example](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/src/transformers/models/bert)).
</Tip>
## Step-by-step guide to add TensorFlow model architecture code
There are many ways to design a large model architecture, and multiple ways of implementing said design. However,
you might recall from our [general overview of 🤗 Transformers](add_new_model#general-overview-of-transformers)
that we are an opinionated bunch - the ease of use of 🤗 Transformers relies on consistent design choices. From
experience, we can tell you a few important things about adding TensorFlow models:
- Don't reinvent the wheel! More often than not, there are at least two reference implementations you should check: the
PyTorch equivalent of the model you are implementing and other TensorFlow models for the same class of problems.
- Great model implementations survive the test of time. This doesn't happen because the code is pretty, but rather
because the code is clear, easy to debug and build upon. If you make the life of the maintainers easy with your
TensorFlow implementation, by replicating the same patterns as in other TensorFlow models and minimizing the mismatch
to the PyTorch implementation, you ensure your contribution will be long lived.
- Ask for help when you're stuck! The 🤗 Transformers team is here to help, and we've probably found solutions to the same
problems you're facing.
Here's an overview of the steps needed to add a TensorFlow model architecture:
1. Select the model you wish to convert
2. Prepare transformers dev environment
3. (Optional) Understand theoretical aspects and the existing implementation
4. Implement the model architecture
5. Implement model tests
6. Submit the pull request
7. (Optional) Build demos and share with the world
### 1.-3. Prepare your model contribution
**1. Select the model you wish to convert**
Let's start off with the basics: the first thing you need to know is the architecture you want to convert. If you
don't have your eyes set on a specific architecture, asking the 🤗 Transformers team for suggestions is a great way to
maximize your impact - we will guide you towards the most prominent architectures that are missing on the TensorFlow
side. If the specific model you want to use with TensorFlow already has a TensorFlow architecture implementation in
🤗 Transformers but is lacking weights, feel free to jump straight into the
[weight conversion section](#adding-tensorflow-weights-to--hub)
of this page.
For simplicity, the remainder of this guide assumes you've decided to contribute with the TensorFlow version of
*BrandNewBert* (the same example as in the [guide](add_new_model) to add a new model from scratch).
<Tip>
Before starting the work on a TensorFlow model architecture, double-check that there is no ongoing effort to do so.
You can search for `BrandNewBert` on the
[pull request GitHub page](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pulls?q=is%3Apr) to confirm that there is no
TensorFlow-related pull request.
</Tip>
**2. Prepare transformers dev environment**
Having selected the model architecture, open a draft PR to signal your intention to work on it. Follow the
instructions below to set up your environment and open a draft PR.
1. Fork the [repository](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) by clicking on the 'Fork' button on the
repository's page. This creates a copy of the code under your GitHub user account.
2. Clone your `transformers` fork to your local disk, and add the base repository as a remote:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/[your Github handle]/transformers.git
cd transformers
git remote add upstream https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
```
3. Set up a development environment, for instance by running the following commands:
```bash
python -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
Depending on your OS, and since the number of optional dependencies of Transformers is growing, you might get a
failure with this command. If that's the case make sure to install TensorFlow then do:
```bash
pip install -e ".[quality]"
```
**Note:** You don't need to have CUDA installed. Making the new model work on CPU is sufficient.
4. Create a branch with a descriptive name from your main branch:
```bash
git checkout -b add_tf_brand_new_bert
```
5. Fetch and rebase to current main:
```bash
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/main
```
6. Add an empty `.py` file in `transformers/src/models/brandnewbert/` named `modeling_tf_brandnewbert.py`. This will
be your TensorFlow model file.
7. Push the changes to your account using:
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git push -u origin add_tf_brand_new_bert
```
8. Once you are satisfied, go to the webpage of your fork on GitHub. Click on “Pull request”. Make sure to add the
GitHub handle of some members of the Hugging Face team as reviewers, so that the Hugging Face team gets notified for
future changes.
9. Change the PR into a draft by clicking on “Convert to draft” on the right of the GitHub pull request web page.
Now you have set up a development environment to port *BrandNewBert* to TensorFlow in 🤗 Transformers.
**3. (Optional) Understand theoretical aspects and the existing implementation**
You should take some time to read *BrandNewBert's* paper, if such descriptive work exists. There might be large
sections of the paper that are difficult to understand. If this is the case, this is fine - don't worry! The goal is
not to get a deep theoretical understanding of the paper, but to extract the necessary information required to
effectively re-implement the model in 🤗 Transformers using TensorFlow. That being said, you don't have to spend too
much time on the theoretical aspects, but rather focus on the practical ones, namely the existing model documentation
page (e.g. [model docs for BERT](model_doc/bert)).
After you've grasped the basics of the models you are about to implement, it's important to understand the existing
implementation. This is a great chance to confirm that a working implementation matches your expectations for the
model, as well as to foresee technical challenges on the TensorFlow side.
It's perfectly natural that you feel overwhelmed with the amount of information that you've just absorbed. It is
definitely not a requirement that you understand all facets of the model at this stage. Nevertheless, we highly
encourage you to clear any pressing questions in our [forum](https://discuss.huggingface.co/).
### 4. Model implementation
Now it's time to finally start coding. Our suggested starting point is the PyTorch file itself: copy the contents of
`modeling_brand_new_bert.py` inside `src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/` into
`modeling_tf_brand_new_bert.py`. The goal of this section is to modify the file and update the import structure of
🤗 Transformers such that you can import `TFBrandNewBert` and
`TFBrandNewBert.from_pretrained(model_repo, from_pt=True)` successfully loads a working TensorFlow *BrandNewBert* model.
Sadly, there is no prescription to convert a PyTorch model into TensorFlow. You can, however, follow our selection of
tips to make the process as smooth as possible:
- Prepend `TF` to the name of all classes (e.g. `BrandNewBert` becomes `TFBrandNewBert`).
- Most PyTorch operations have a direct TensorFlow replacement. For example, `torch.nn.Linear` corresponds to
`tf.keras.layers.Dense`, `torch.nn.Dropout` corresponds to `tf.keras.layers.Dropout`, etc. If you're not sure
about a specific operation, you can use the [TensorFlow documentation](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf)
or the [PyTorch documentation](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/).
- Look for patterns in the 🤗 Transformers codebase. If you come across a certain operation that doesn't have a direct
replacement, the odds are that someone else already had the same problem.
- By default, keep the same variable names and structure as in PyTorch. This will make it easier to debug, track
issues, and add fixes down the line.
- Some layers have different default values in each framework. A notable example is the batch normalization layer's
epsilon (`1e-5` in [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.BatchNorm2d.html#torch.nn.BatchNorm2d)
and `1e-3` in [TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/layers/BatchNormalization)).
Double-check the documentation!
- PyTorch's `nn.Parameter` variables typically need to be initialized within TF Layer's `build()`. See the following
example: [PyTorch](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/655f72a6896c0533b1bdee519ed65a059c2425ac/src/transformers/models/vit_mae/modeling_vit_mae.py#L212) /
[TensorFlow](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/655f72a6896c0533b1bdee519ed65a059c2425ac/src/transformers/models/vit_mae/modeling_tf_vit_mae.py#L220)
- If the PyTorch model has a `#copied from ...` on top of a function, the odds are that your TensorFlow model can also
borrow that function from the architecture it was copied from, assuming it has a TensorFlow architecture.
- Assigning the `name` attribute correctly in TensorFlow functions is critical to do the `from_pt=True` weight
cross-loading. `name` is almost always the name of the corresponding variable in the PyTorch code. If `name` is not
properly set, you will see it in the error message when loading the model weights.
- The logic of the base model class, `BrandNewBertModel`, will actually reside in `TFBrandNewBertMainLayer`, a Keras
layer subclass ([example](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/4fd32a1f499e45f009c2c0dea4d81c321cba7e02/src/transformers/models/bert/modeling_tf_bert.py#L719)).
`TFBrandNewBertModel` will simply be a wrapper around this layer.
- Keras models need to be built in order to load pretrained weights. For that reason, `TFBrandNewBertPreTrainedModel`
will need to hold an example of inputs to the model, the `dummy_inputs`
([example](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/4fd32a1f499e45f009c2c0dea4d81c321cba7e02/src/transformers/models/bert/modeling_tf_bert.py#L916)).
- If you get stuck, ask for help - we're here to help you! 🤗
In addition to the model file itself, you will also need to add the pointers to the model classes and related
documentation pages. You can complete this part entirely following the patterns in other PRs
([example](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/18020/files)). Here's a list of the needed manual
changes:
- Include all public classes of *BrandNewBert* in `src/transformers/__init__.py`
- Add *BrandNewBert* classes to the corresponding Auto classes in `src/transformers/models/auto/modeling_tf_auto.py`
- Add the lazy loading classes related to *BrandNewBert* in `src/transformers/utils/dummy_tf_objects.py`
- Update the import structures for the public classes in `src/transformers/models/brand_new_bert/__init__.py`
- Add the documentation pointers to the public methods of *BrandNewBert* in `docs/source/en/model_doc/brand_new_bert.md`
- Add yourself to the list of contributors to *BrandNewBert* in `docs/source/en/model_doc/brand_new_bert.md`
- Finally, add a green tick ✅ to the TensorFlow column of *BrandNewBert* in `docs/source/en/index.md`
When you're happy with your implementation, run the following checklist to confirm that your model architecture is
ready:
1. All layers that behave differently at train time (e.g. Dropout) are called with a `training` argument, which is
propagated all the way from the top-level classes
2. You have used `#copied from ...` whenever possible
3. `TFBrandNewBertMainLayer` and all classes that use it have their `call` function decorated with `@unpack_inputs`
4. `TFBrandNewBertMainLayer` is decorated with `@keras_serializable`
5. A TensorFlow model can be loaded from PyTorch weights using `TFBrandNewBert.from_pretrained(model_repo, from_pt=True)`
6. You can call the TensorFlow model using the expected input format
### 5. Add model tests
Hurray, you've implemented a TensorFlow model! Now it's time to add tests to make sure that your model behaves as
expected. As in the previous section, we suggest you start by copying the `test_modeling_brand_new_bert.py` file in
`tests/models/brand_new_bert/` into `test_modeling_tf_brand_new_bert.py`, and continue by making the necessary
TensorFlow replacements. For now, in all `.from_pretrained()` calls, you should use the `from_pt=True` flag to load
the existing PyTorch weights.
After you're done, it's time for the moment of truth: run the tests! 😬
```bash
NVIDIA_TF32_OVERRIDE=0 RUN_SLOW=1 RUN_PT_TF_CROSS_TESTS=1 \
py.test -vv tests/models/brand_new_bert/test_modeling_tf_brand_new_bert.py
```
The most likely outcome is that you'll see a bunch of errors. Don't worry, this is expected! Debugging ML models is
notoriously hard, and the key ingredient to success is patience (and `breakpoint()`). In our experience, the hardest
problems arise from subtle mismatches between ML frameworks, for which we have a few pointers at the end of this guide.
In other cases, a general test might not be directly applicable to your model, in which case we suggest an override
at the model test class level. Regardless of the issue, don't hesitate to ask for help in your draft pull request if
you're stuck.
When all tests pass, congratulations, your model is nearly ready to be added to the 🤗 Transformers library! 🎉
### 6.-7. Ensure everyone can use your model
**6. Submit the pull request**
Once you're done with the implementation and the tests, it's time to submit a pull request. Before pushing your code,
run our code formatting utility, `make fixup` 🪄. This will automatically fix any formatting issues, which would cause
our automatic checks to fail.
It's now time to convert your draft pull request into a real pull request. To do so, click on the "Ready for
review" button and add Joao (`@gante`) and Matt (`@Rocketknight1`) as reviewers. A model pull request will need
at least 3 reviewers, but they will take care of finding appropriate additional reviewers for your model.
After all reviewers are happy with the state of your PR, the final action point is to remove the `from_pt=True` flag in
`.from_pretrained()` calls. Since there are no TensorFlow weights, you will have to add them! Check the section
below for instructions on how to do it.
Finally, when the TensorFlow weights get merged, you have at least 3 reviewer approvals, and all CI checks are
green, double-check the tests locally one last time
```bash
NVIDIA_TF32_OVERRIDE=0 RUN_SLOW=1 RUN_PT_TF_CROSS_TESTS=1 \
py.test -vv tests/models/brand_new_bert/test_modeling_tf_brand_new_bert.py
```
and we will merge your PR! Congratulations on the milestone 🎉
**7. (Optional) Build demos and share with the world**
One of the hardest parts about open-source is discovery. How can the other users learn about the existence of your
fabulous TensorFlow contribution? With proper communication, of course! 📣
There are two main ways to share your model with the community:
- Build demos. These include Gradio demos, notebooks, and other fun ways to show off your model. We highly
encourage you to add a notebook to our [community-driven demos](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/community).
- Share stories on social media like Twitter and LinkedIn. You should be proud of your work and share
your achievement with the community - your model can now be used by thousands of engineers and researchers around
the world 🌍! We will be happy to retweet your posts and help you share your work with the community.
## Adding TensorFlow weights to 🤗 Hub
Assuming that the TensorFlow model architecture is available in 🤗 Transformers, converting PyTorch weights into
TensorFlow weights is a breeze!
Here's how to do it:
1. Make sure you are logged into your Hugging Face account in your terminal. You can log in using the command
`huggingface-cli login` (you can find your access tokens [here](https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens))
2. Run `transformers-cli pt-to-tf --model-name foo/bar`, where `foo/bar` is the name of the model repository
containing the PyTorch weights you want to convert
3. Tag `@joaogante` and `@Rocketknight1` in the 🤗 Hub PR the command above has just created
That's it! 🎉
## Debugging mismatches across ML frameworks 🐛
At some point, when adding a new architecture or when creating TensorFlow weights for an existing architecture, you
might come across errors complaining about mismatches between PyTorch and TensorFlow. You might even decide to open the
model architecture code for the two frameworks, and find that they look identical. What's going on? 🤔
First of all, let's talk about why understanding these mismatches matters. Many community members will use 🤗
Transformers models out of the box, and trust that our models behave as expected. When there is a large mismatch
between the two frameworks, it implies that the model is not following the reference implementation for at least one
of the frameworks. This might lead to silent failures, in which the model runs but has poor performance. This is
arguably worse than a model that fails to run at all! To that end, we aim at having a framework mismatch smaller than
`1e-5` at all stages of the model.
As in other numerical problems, the devil is in the details. And as in any detail-oriented craft, the secret
ingredient here is patience. Here is our suggested workflow for when you come across this type of issues:
1. Locate the source of mismatches. The model you're converting probably has near identical inner variables up to a
certain point. Place `breakpoint()` statements in the two frameworks' architectures, and compare the values of the
numerical variables in a top-down fashion until you find the source of the problems.
2. Now that you've pinpointed the source of the issue, get in touch with the 🤗 Transformers team. It is possible
that we've seen a similar problem before and can promptly provide a solution. As a fallback, scan popular pages
like StackOverflow and GitHub issues.
3. If there is no solution in sight, it means you'll have to go deeper. The good news is that you've located the
issue, so you can focus on the problematic instruction, abstracting away the rest of the model! The bad news is
that you'll have to venture into the source implementation of said instruction. In some cases, you might find an
issue with a reference implementation - don't abstain from opening an issue in the upstream repository.
In some cases, in discussion with the 🤗 Transformers team, we might find that fixing the mismatch is infeasible.
When the mismatch is very small in the output layers of the model (but potentially large in the hidden states), we
might decide to ignore it in favor of distributing the model. The `pt-to-tf` CLI mentioned above has a `--max-error`
flag to override the error message at weight conversion time.

# Attention mechanisms
Most transformer models use full attention in the sense that the attention matrix is square. It can be a big
computational bottleneck when you have long texts. Longformer and reformer are models that try to be more efficient and
use a sparse version of the attention matrix to speed up training.
## LSH attention
[Reformer](model_doc/reformer) uses LSH attention. In the softmax(QK^t), only the biggest elements (in the softmax
dimension) of the matrix QK^t are going to give useful contributions. So for each query q in Q, we can consider only
the keys k in K that are close to q. A hash function is used to determine if q and k are close. The attention mask is
modified to mask the current token (except at the first position), because it will give a query and a key equal (so
very similar to each other). Since the hash can be a bit random, several hash functions are used in practice
(determined by a n_rounds parameter) and then are averaged together.
## Local attention
[Longformer](model_doc/longformer) uses local attention: often, the local context (e.g., what are the two tokens to the
left and right?) is enough to take action for a given token. Also, by stacking attention layers that have a small
window, the last layer will have a receptive field of more than just the tokens in the window, allowing them to build a
representation of the whole sentence.
Some preselected input tokens are also given global attention: for those few tokens, the attention matrix can access
all tokens and this process is symmetric: all other tokens have access to those specific tokens (on top of the ones in
their local window). This is shown in Figure 2d of the paper, see below for a sample attention mask:
<div class="flex justify-center">
<img scale="50 %" align="center" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/local_attention_mask.png"/>
</div>
Using those attention matrices with less parameters then allows the model to have inputs having a bigger sequence
length.
## Other tricks
### Axial positional encodings
[Reformer](model_doc/reformer) uses axial positional encodings: in traditional transformer models, the positional encoding
E is a matrix of size \\(l\\) by \\(d\\), \\(l\\) being the sequence length and \\(d\\) the dimension of the
hidden state. If you have very long texts, this matrix can be huge and take way too much space on the GPU. To alleviate
that, axial positional encodings consist of factorizing that big matrix E in two smaller matrices E1 and E2, with
dimensions \\(l_{1} \times d_{1}\\) and \\(l_{2} \times d_{2}\\), such that \\(l_{1} \times l_{2} = l\\) and
\\(d_{1} + d_{2} = d\\) (with the product for the lengths, this ends up being way smaller). The embedding for time
step \\(j\\) in E is obtained by concatenating the embeddings for timestep \\(j \% l1\\) in E1 and \\(j // l1\\)
in E2.

# Load pretrained instances with an AutoClass
With so many different Transformer architectures, it can be challenging to create one for your checkpoint. As a part of 🤗 Transformers core philosophy to make the library easy, simple and flexible to use, an `AutoClass` automatically infers and loads the correct architecture from a given checkpoint. The `from_pretrained()` method lets you quickly load a pretrained model for any architecture so you don't have to devote time and resources to train a model from scratch. Producing this type of checkpoint-agnostic code means if your code works for one checkpoint, it will work with another checkpoint - as long as it was trained for a similar task - even if the architecture is different.
<Tip>
Remember, architecture refers to the skeleton of the model and checkpoints are the weights for a given architecture. For example, [BERT](https://huggingface.co/google-bert/bert-base-uncased) is an architecture, while `google-bert/bert-base-uncased` is a checkpoint. Model is a general term that can mean either architecture or checkpoint.
</Tip>
In this tutorial, learn to:
* Load a pretrained tokenizer.
* Load a pretrained image processor
* Load a pretrained feature extractor.
* Load a pretrained processor.
* Load a pretrained model.
* Load a model as a backbone.
## AutoTokenizer
Nearly every NLP task begins with a tokenizer. A tokenizer converts your input into a format that can be processed by the model.
Load a tokenizer with [`AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained`]:
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google-bert/bert-base-uncased")
```
Then tokenize your input as shown below:
```py
>>> sequence = "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."
>>> print(tokenizer(sequence))
{'input_ids': [101, 1999, 1037, 4920, 1999, 1996, 2598, 2045, 2973, 1037, 7570, 10322, 4183, 1012, 102],
'token_type_ids': [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
'attention_mask': [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]}
```
## AutoImageProcessor
For vision tasks, an image processor processes the image into the correct input format.
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor
>>> image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("google/vit-base-patch16-224")
```
## AutoBackbone
<div style="text-align: center">
<img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/Swin%20Stages.png">
<figcaption class="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500">A Swin backbone with multiple stages for outputting a feature map.</figcaption>
</div>
The [`AutoBackbone`] lets you use pretrained models as backbones to get feature maps from different stages of the backbone. You should specify one of the following parameters in [`~PretrainedConfig.from_pretrained`]:
* `out_indices` is the index of the layer you'd like to get the feature map from
* `out_features` is the name of the layer you'd like to get the feature map from
These parameters can be used interchangeably, but if you use both, make sure they're aligned with each other! If you don't pass any of these parameters, the backbone returns the feature map from the last layer.
<div style="text-align: center">
<img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/transformers/Swin%20Stage%201.png">
<figcaption class="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-500">A feature map from the first stage of the backbone. The patch partition refers to the model stem.</figcaption>
</div>
For example, in the above diagram, to return the feature map from the first stage of the Swin backbone, you can set `out_indices=(1,)`:
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoBackbone
>>> import torch
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> import requests
>>> url = "http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"
>>> image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
>>> processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/swin-tiny-patch4-window7-224")
>>> model = AutoBackbone.from_pretrained("microsoft/swin-tiny-patch4-window7-224", out_indices=(1,))
>>> inputs = processor(image, return_tensors="pt")
>>> outputs = model(**inputs)
>>> feature_maps = outputs.feature_maps
```
Now you can access the `feature_maps` object from the first stage of the backbone:
```py
>>> list(feature_maps[0].shape)
[1, 96, 56, 56]
```
## AutoFeatureExtractor
For audio tasks, a feature extractor processes the audio signal the correct input format.
Load a feature extractor with [`AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained`]:
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoFeatureExtractor
>>> feature_extractor = AutoFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained(
... "ehcalabres/wav2vec2-lg-xlsr-en-speech-emotion-recognition"
... )
```
## AutoProcessor
Multimodal tasks require a processor that combines two types of preprocessing tools. For example, the [LayoutLMV2](model_doc/layoutlmv2) model requires an image processor to handle images and a tokenizer to handle text; a processor combines both of them.
Load a processor with [`AutoProcessor.from_pretrained`]:
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoProcessor
>>> processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("microsoft/layoutlmv2-base-uncased")
```
## AutoModel
<frameworkcontent>
<pt>
The `AutoModelFor` classes let you load a pretrained model for a given task (see [here](model_doc/auto) for a complete list of available tasks). For example, load a model for sequence classification with [`AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained`]:
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
>>> model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased")
```
Easily reuse the same checkpoint to load an architecture for a different task:
```py
>>> from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification
>>> model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased")
```
<Tip warning={true}>
For PyTorch models, the `from_pretrained()` method uses `torch.load()` which internally uses `pickle` and is known to be insecure. In general, never load a model that could have come from an untrusted source, or that could have been tampered with. This security risk is partially mitigated for public models hosted on the Hugging Face Hub, which are [scanned for malware](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-malware) at each commit. See the [Hub documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security) for best practices like [signed commit verification](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-gpg#signing-commits-with-gpg) with GPG.
TensorFlow and Flax checkpoints are not affected, and can be loaded within PyTorch architectures using the `from_tf` and `from_flax` kwargs for the `from_pretrained` method to circumvent this issue.
</Tip>
Generally, we recommend using the `AutoTokenizer` class and the `AutoModelFor` class to load pretrained instances of models. This will ensure you load the correct architecture every time. In the next [tutorial](preprocessing), learn how to use your newly loaded tokenizer, image processor, feature extractor and processor to preprocess a dataset for fine-tuning.
</pt>
<tf>
Finally, the `TFAutoModelFor` classes let you load a pretrained model for a given task (see [here](model_doc/auto) for a complete list of available tasks). For example, load a model for sequence classification with [`TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained`]:
```py
>>> from transformers import TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification
>>> model = TFAutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased")
```
Easily reuse the same checkpoint to load an architecture for a different task:
```py
>>> from transformers import TFAutoModelForTokenClassification
>>> model = TFAutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("distilbert/distilbert-base-uncased")
```
Generally, we recommend using the `AutoTokenizer` class and the `TFAutoModelFor` class to load pretrained instances of models. This will ensure you load the correct architecture every time. In the next [tutorial](preprocessing), learn how to use your newly loaded tokenizer, image processor, feature extractor and processor to preprocess a dataset for fine-tuning.

# Benchmarks
<Tip warning={true}>
Hugging Face's Benchmarking tools are deprecated and it is advised to use external Benchmarking libraries to measure the speed
and memory complexity of Transformer models.
</Tip>
[[open-in-colab]]
Let's take a look at how 🤗 Transformers models can be benchmarked, best practices, and already available benchmarks.
A notebook explaining in more detail how to benchmark 🤗 Transformers models can be found [here](https://github.com/huggingface/notebooks/tree/main/examples/benchmark.ipynb).
## How to benchmark 🤗 Transformers models
The classes [`PyTorchBenchmark`] and [`TensorFlowBenchmark`] allow to flexibly benchmark 🤗 Transformers models. The benchmark classes allow us to measure the _peak memory usage_ and _required time_ for both _inference_ and _training_.
<Tip>
Hereby, _inference_ is defined by a single forward pass, and _training_ is defined by a single forward pass and
backward pass.
</Tip>
The benchmark classes [`PyTorchBenchmark`] and [`TensorFlowBenchmark`] expect an object of type [`PyTorchBenchmarkArguments`] and
[`TensorFlowBenchmarkArguments`], respectively, for instantiation. [`PyTorchBenchmarkArguments`] and [`TensorFlowBenchmarkArguments`] are data classes and contain all relevant configurations for their corresponding benchmark class. In the following example, it is shown how a BERT model of type _bert-base-cased_ can be benchmarked.
<frameworkcontent>
<pt>
```py
>>> from transformers import PyTorchBenchmark, PyTorchBenchmarkArguments
>>> args = PyTorchBenchmarkArguments(models=["google-bert/bert-base-uncased"], batch_sizes=[8], sequence_lengths=[8, 32, 128, 512])
>>> benchmark = PyTorchBenchmark(args)
```
</pt>
<tf>
```py
>>> from transformers import TensorFlowBenchmark, TensorFlowBenchmarkArguments
>>> args = TensorFlowBenchmarkArguments(
... models=["google-bert/bert-base-uncased"], batch_sizes=[8], sequence_lengths=[8, 32, 128, 512]
... )
>>> benchmark = TensorFlowBenchmark(args)
```
</tf>
</frameworkcontent>
Here, three arguments are given to the benchmark argument data classes, namely `models`, `batch_sizes`, and
`sequence_lengths`. The argument `models` is required and expects a `list` of model identifiers from the
[model hub](https://huggingface.co/models) The `list` arguments `batch_sizes` and `sequence_lengths` define
the size of the `input_ids` on which the model is benchmarked. There are many more parameters that can be configured
via the benchmark argument data classes. For more detail on these one can either directly consult the files
`src/transformers/benchmark/benchmark_args_utils.py`, `src/transformers/benchmark/benchmark_args.py` (for PyTorch)
and `src/transformers/benchmark/benchmark_args_tf.py` (for Tensorflow). Alternatively, running the following shell
commands from root will print out a descriptive list of all configurable parameters for PyTorch and Tensorflow
respectively.
<frameworkcontent>
<pt>
```bash
python examples/pytorch/benchmarking/run_benchmark.py --help
```
An instantiated benchmark object can then simply be run by calling `benchmark.run()`.
```py
>>> results = benchmark.run()
>>> print(results)

By default, the _time_ and the _required memory_ for _inference_ are benchmarked. In the example output above the first
two sections show the result corresponding to _inference time_ and _inference memory_. In addition, all relevant
information about the computing environment, _e.g._ the GPU type, the system, the library versions, etc... are printed
out in the third section under _ENVIRONMENT INFORMATION_. This information can optionally be saved in a _.csv_ file
when adding the argument `save_to_csv=True` to [`PyTorchBenchmarkArguments`] and
[`TensorFlowBenchmarkArguments`] respectively. In this case, every section is saved in a separate
_.csv_ file. The path to each _.csv_ file can optionally be defined via the argument data classes.
Instead of benchmarking pre-trained models via their model identifier, _e.g._ `google-bert/bert-base-uncased`, the user can
alternatively benchmark an arbitrary configuration of any available model class. In this case, a `list` of
configurations must be inserted with the benchmark args as follows.

Again, _inference time_ and _required memory_ for _inference_ are measured, but this time for customized configurations
of the `BertModel` class. This feature can especially be helpful when deciding for which configuration the model
should be trained.
## Benchmark best practices
This section lists a couple of best practices one should be aware of when benchmarking a model.
- Currently, only single device benchmarking is supported. When benchmarking on GPU, it is recommended that the user
specifies on which device the code should be run by setting the `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` environment variable in the
shell, _e.g._ `export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0` before running the code.
- The option `no_multi_processing` should only be set to `True` for testing and debugging. To ensure accurate
memory measurement it is recommended to run each memory benchmark in a separate process by making sure
`no_multi_processing` is set to `True`.
- One should always state the environment information when sharing the results of a model benchmark. Results can vary
heavily between different GPU devices, library versions, etc., so that benchmark results on their own are not very
useful for the community.
## Sharing your benchmark
Previously all available core models (10 at the time) have been benchmarked for _inference time_, across many different
settings: using PyTorch, with and without TorchScript, using TensorFlow, with and without XLA. All of those tests were
done across CPUs (except for TensorFlow XLA) and GPUs.
The approach is detailed in the [following blogpost](https://medium.com/huggingface/benchmarking-transformers-pytorch-and-tensorflow-e2917fb891c2) and the results are
available [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sryqufw2D0XlUH4sq3e9Wnxu5EAQkaohzrJbd5HdQ_w/edit?usp=sharing).
With the new _benchmark_ tools, it is easier than ever to share your benchmark results with the community
- [PyTorch Benchmarking Results](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/examples/pytorch/benchmarking/README.md).
- [TensorFlow Benchmarking Results](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/examples/tensorflow/benchmarking/README.md).

# BERTology
There is a growing field of study concerned with investigating the inner working of large-scale transformers like BERT
(that some call "BERTology"). Some good examples of this field are:
- BERT Rediscovers the Classical NLP Pipeline by Ian Tenney, Dipanjan Das, Ellie Pavlick:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.05950
- Are Sixteen Heads Really Better than One? by Paul Michel, Omer Levy, Graham Neubig: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.10650
- What Does BERT Look At? An Analysis of BERT's Attention by Kevin Clark, Urvashi Khandelwal, Omer Levy, Christopher D.
Manning: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.04341
- CAT-probing: A Metric-based Approach to Interpret How Pre-trained Models for Programming Language Attend Code Structure: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04633
In order to help this new field develop, we have included a few additional features in the BERT/GPT/GPT-2 models to
help people access the inner representations, mainly adapted from the great work of Paul Michel
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.10650):
- accessing all the hidden-states of BERT/GPT/GPT-2,
- accessing all the attention weights for each head of BERT/GPT/GPT-2,
- retrieving heads output values and gradients to be able to compute head importance score and prune head as explained
in https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.10650.
To help you understand and use these features, we have added a specific example script: [bertology.py](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/examples/research_projects/bertology/run_bertology.py) while extract information and prune a model pre-trained on

# Instantiate a big model
A barrier to accessing very large pretrained models is the amount of memory required. When loading a pretrained PyTorch model, you usually:
1. Create a model with random weights.
2. Load your pretrained weights.
3. Put those pretrained weights in the model.
The first two steps both require a full version of the model in memory and if the model weighs several GBs, you may not have enough memory for two copies of it. This problem is amplified in distributed training environments because each process loads a pretrained model and stores two copies in memory.
> [!TIP]
> The randomly created model is initialized with "empty" tensors, which take space in memory without filling it. The random values are whatever was in this chunk of memory at the time. To improve loading speed, the [`_fast_init`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/c9f6e5e35156e068b227dd9b15521767f6afd4d2/src/transformers/modeling_utils.py#L2710) parameter is set to `True` by default to skip the random initialization for all weights that are correctly loaded.
This guide will show you how Transformers can help you load large pretrained models despite their memory requirements.
## Sharded checkpoints
From Transformers v4.18.0, a checkpoint larger than 10GB is automatically sharded by the [`~PreTrainedModel.save_pretrained`] method. It is split into several smaller partial checkpoints and creates an index file that maps parameter names to the files they're stored in.
The maximum shard size is controlled with the `max_shard_size` parameter, but by default it is 5GB, because it is easier to run on free-tier GPU instances without running out of memory.
For example, let's shard [BioMistral/BioMistral-7B](https://hf.co/BioMistral/BioMistral-7B).
```py
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp_dir:
... model.save_pretrained(tmp_dir, max_shard_size="5GB")
... print(sorted(os.listdir(tmp_dir)))
['config.json', 'generation_config.json', 'model-00001-of-00006.safetensors', 'model-00002-of-00006.safetensors', 'model-00003-of-00006.safetensors', 'model-00004-of-00006.safetensors', 'model-00005-of-00006.safetensors', 'model-00006-of-00006.safetensors', 'model.safetensors.index.json']
```
The sharded checkpoint is reloaded with the [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`] method.
```py
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp_dir:
... model.save_pretrained(tmp_dir, max_shard_size="5GB")
... new_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(tmp_dir)
```
The main advantage of sharded checkpoints for big models is that each shard is loaded after the previous one, which caps the memory usage to only the model size and the largest shard size.
You could also directly load a sharded checkpoint inside a model without the [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`] method (similar to PyTorch's `load_state_dict()` method for a full checkpoint). In this case, use the [`~modeling_utils.load_sharded_checkpoint`] method.
```py
>>> from transformers.modeling_utils import load_sharded_checkpoint
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp_dir:
... model.save_pretrained(tmp_dir, max_shard_size="5GB")
... load_sharded_checkpoint(model, tmp_dir)
```
### Shard metadata
The index file determines which keys are in the checkpoint and where the corresponding weights are stored. This file is loaded like any other JSON file and you can get a dictionary from it.
```py
>>> import json
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp_dir:
... model.save_pretrained(tmp_dir, max_shard_size="5GB")
... with open(os.path.join(tmp_dir, "model.safetensors.index.json"), "r") as f:
... index = json.load(f)
>>> print(index.keys())
dict_keys(['metadata', 'weight_map'])
```
The `metadata` key provides the total model size.
```py
>>> index["metadata"]
{'total_size': 28966928384}
```
The `weight_map` key maps each parameter name (typically `state_dict` in a PyTorch model) to the shard it's stored in.
```py
>>> index["weight_map"]
{'lm_head.weight': 'model-00006-of-00006.safetensors',
'model.embed_tokens.weight': 'model-00001-of-00006.safetensors',
'model.layers.0.input_layernorm.weight': 'model-00001-of-00006.safetensors',
'model.layers.0.mlp.down_proj.weight': 'model-00001-of-00006.safetensors',
...
}
```
## Accelerate's Big Model Inference
> [!TIP]
> Make sure you have Accelerate v0.9.0 or later and PyTorch v1.9.0 or later installed.
From Transformers v4.20.0, the [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`] method is supercharged with Accelerate's [Big Model Inference](https://hf.co/docs/accelerate/usage_guides/big_modeling) feature to efficiently handle really big models! Big Model Inference creates a *model skeleton* on PyTorch's [**meta**](https://pytorch.org/docs/main/meta.html) device. The randomly initialized parameters are only created when the pretrained weights are loaded. This way, you aren't keeping two copies of the model in memory at the same time (one for the randomly initialized model and one for the pretrained weights), and the maximum memory consumed is only the full model size.
To enable Big Model Inference in Transformers, set `low_cpu_mem_usage=True` in the [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`] method.
```py
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
gemma = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-7b", low_cpu_mem_usage=True)
```
Accelerate automatically dispatches the model weights across all available devices, starting with the fastest device (GPU) first and then offloading to the slower devices (CPU and even hard drive). This is enabled by setting `device_map="auto"` in the [`~PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained`] method. When you pass the `device_map` parameter, `low_cpu_mem_usage` is automatically set to `True` so you don't need to specify it.
```py
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
# these loading methods are equivalent
gemma = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-7b", device_map="auto")
gemma = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-7b", device_map="auto", low_cpu_mem_usage=True)
```
You can also write your own `device_map` by mapping each layer to a device. It should map all model parameters to a device, but you don't have to detail where all the submodules of a layer go if the entire layer is on the same device.
```python
device_map = {"model.layers.1": 0, "model.layers.14": 1, "model.layers.31": "cpu", "lm_head": "disk"}
```
Access `hf_device_map` attribute to see how Accelerate split the model across devices.
```py
gemma.hf_device_map
```
```python out
{'model.embed_tokens': 0,
'model.layers.0': 0,
'model.layers.1': 0,
'model.layers.2': 0,
'model.layers.3': 0,
'model.layers.4': 0,
'model.layers.5': 0,
'model.layers.6': 0,
'model.layers.7': 0,
'model.layers.8': 0,
'model.layers.9': 0,
'model.layers.10': 0,
'model.layers.11': 0,
'model.layers.12': 0,
'model.layers.13': 0,
'model.layers.14': 'cpu',
'model.layers.15': 'cpu',
'model.layers.16': 'cpu',
'model.layers.17': 'cpu',
'model.layers.18': 'cpu',
'model.layers.19': 'cpu',
'model.layers.20': 'cpu',
'model.layers.21': 'cpu',
'model.layers.22': 'cpu',
'model.layers.23': 'cpu',
'model.layers.24': 'cpu',
'model.layers.25': 'cpu',
'model.layers.26': 'cpu',
'model.layers.27': 'cpu',
'model.layers.28': 'cpu',
'model.layers.29': 'cpu',
'model.layers.30': 'cpu',
'model.layers.31': 'cpu',
'model.norm': 'cpu',
'lm_head': 'cpu'}
```
## Model data type
PyTorch model weights are normally instantiated as torch.float32 and it can be an issue if you try to load a model as a different data type. For example, you'd need twice as much memory to load the weights in torch.float32 and then again to load them in your desired data type, like torch.float16.
> [!WARNING]
> Due to how PyTorch is designed, the `torch_dtype` parameter only supports floating data types.
To avoid wasting memory like this, explicitly set the `torch_dtype` parameter to the desired data type or set `torch_dtype="auto"` to load the weights with the most optimal memory pattern (the data type is automatically derived from the model weights).
<hfoptions id="dtype">
<hfoption id="specific dtype">
```py
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
gemma = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-7b", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
```
</hfoption>
<hfoption id="auto dtype">
```py
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
gemma = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-7b", torch_dtype="auto")
```
</hfoption>
</hfoptions>
You can also set the data type to use for models instantiated from scratch.
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoConfig, AutoModel
my_config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
model = AutoModel.from_config(my_config)
```

# Templates for Chat Models
## Introduction
An increasingly common use case for LLMs is **chat**. In a chat context, rather than continuing a single string
of text (as is the case with a standard language model), the model instead continues a conversation that consists
of one or more **messages**, each of which includes a **role**, like "user" or "assistant", as well as message text.
Much like tokenization, different models expect very different input formats for chat. This is the reason we added
**chat templates** as a feature. Chat templates are part of the tokenizer. They specify how to convert conversations,
represented as lists of messages, into a single tokenizable string in the format that the model expects.
Let's make this concrete with a quick example using the `BlenderBot` model. BlenderBot has an extremely simple default
template, which mostly just adds whitespace between rounds of dialogue:
```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/blenderbot-400M-distill")
>>> chat = [
... {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"},
... {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm doing great. How can I help you today?"},
... {"role": "user", "content": "I'd like to show off how chat templating works!"},
... ]
>>> tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False)
" Hello, how are you? I'm doing great. How can I help you today? I'd like to show off how chat templating works!</s>"
```
Notice how the entire chat is condensed into a single string. If we use `tokenize=True`, which is the default setting,
that string will also be tokenized for us. To see a more complex template in action, though, let's use the
`mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1` model.
```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1")
>>> chat = [
... {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"},
... {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm doing great. How can I help you today?"},
... {"role": "user", "content": "I'd like to show off how chat templating works!"},
... ]
>>> tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False)
"<s>[INST] Hello, how are you? [/INST]I'm doing great. How can I help you today?</s> [INST] I'd like to show off how chat templating works! [/INST]"
```
Note that this time, the tokenizer has added the control tokens [INST] and [/INST] to indicate the start and end of
user messages (but not assistant messages!). Mistral-instruct was trained with these tokens, but BlenderBot was not.
## How do I use chat templates?
As you can see in the example above, chat templates are easy to use. Simply build a list of messages, with `role`
and `content` keys, and then pass it to the [`~PreTrainedTokenizer.apply_chat_template`] method. Once you do that,
you'll get output that's ready to go! When using chat templates as input for model generation, it's also a good idea
to use `add_generation_prompt=True` to add a [generation prompt](#what-are-generation-prompts).
Here's an example of preparing input for `model.generate()`, using the `Zephyr` assistant model:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
checkpoint = "HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint) # You may want to use bfloat16 and/or move to GPU here
messages = [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a friendly chatbot who always responds in the style of a pirate",
},
{"role": "user", "content": "How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?"},
]
tokenized_chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
print(tokenizer.decode(tokenized_chat[0]))
```
This will yield a string in the input format that Zephyr expects.
```text
<|system|>
You are a friendly chatbot who always responds in the style of a pirate</s>
<|user|>
How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?</s>
<|assistant|>
```
Now that our input is formatted correctly for Zephyr, we can use the model to generate a response to the user's question:
```python
outputs = model.generate(tokenized_chat, max_new_tokens=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
This will yield:
```text
<|system|>
You are a friendly chatbot who always responds in the style of a pirate</s>
<|user|>
How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?</s>
<|assistant|>
Matey, I'm afraid I must inform ye that humans cannot eat helicopters. Helicopters are not food, they are flying machines. Food is meant to be eaten, like a hearty plate o' grog, a savory bowl o' stew, or a delicious loaf o' bread. But helicopters, they be for transportin' and movin' around, not for eatin'. So, I'd say none, me hearties. None at all.
```
Arr, 'twas easy after all!
## Is there an automated pipeline for chat?
Yes, there is! Our text generation pipelines support chat inputs, which makes it easy to use chat models. In the past,
we used to use a dedicated "ConversationalPipeline" class, but this has now been deprecated and its functionality
has been merged into the [`TextGenerationPipeline`]. Let's try the `Zephyr` example again, but this time using
a pipeline:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("text-generation", "HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta")
messages = [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a friendly chatbot who always responds in the style of a pirate",
},
{"role": "user", "content": "How many helicopters can a human eat in one sitting?"},
]
print(pipe(messages, max_new_tokens=128)[0]['generated_text'][-1]) # Print the assistant's response
```
```text
{'role': 'assistant', 'content': "Matey, I'm afraid I must inform ye that humans cannot eat helicopters. Helicopters are not food, they are flying machines. Food is meant to be eaten, like a hearty plate o' grog, a savory bowl o' stew, or a delicious loaf o' bread. But helicopters, they be for transportin' and movin' around, not for eatin'. So, I'd say none, me hearties. None at all."}
```
The pipeline will take care of all the details of tokenization and calling `apply_chat_template` for you -
once the model has a chat template, all you need to do is initialize the pipeline and pass it the list of messages!
## What are "generation prompts"?
You may have noticed that the `apply_chat_template` method has an `add_generation_prompt` argument. This argument tells
the template to add tokens that indicate the start of a bot response. For example, consider the following chat:
```python
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Hi there!"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Nice to meet you!"},
{"role": "user", "content": "Can I ask a question?"}
]
```
Here's what this will look like without a generation prompt, using the ChatML template we saw in the Zephyr example:
```python
tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=False)
"""<|im_start|>user
Hi there!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Nice to meet you!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Can I ask a question?<|im_end|>
"""
```
And here's what it looks like **with** a generation prompt:
```python
tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
"""<|im_start|>user
Hi there!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Nice to meet you!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
Can I ask a question?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""
```
Note that this time, we've added the tokens that indicate the start of a bot response. This ensures that when the model
generates text it will write a bot response instead of doing something unexpected, like continuing the user's
message. Remember, chat models are still just language models - they're trained to continue text, and chat is just a
special kind of text to them! You need to guide them with appropriate control tokens, so they know what they're
supposed to be doing.
Not all models require generation prompts. Some models, like BlenderBot and LLaMA, don't have any
special tokens before bot responses. In these cases, the `add_generation_prompt` argument will have no effect. The exact
effect that `add_generation_prompt` has will depend on the template being used.
## Can I use chat templates in training?
Yes! We recommend that you apply the chat template as a preprocessing step for your dataset. After this, you
can simply continue like any other language model training task. When training, you should usually set
`add_generation_prompt=False`, because the added tokens to prompt an assistant response will not be helpful during
training. Let's see an example:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from datasets import Dataset
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HuggingFaceH4/zephyr-7b-beta")
chat1 = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Which is bigger, the moon or the sun?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "The sun."}
]
chat2 = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Which is bigger, a virus or a bacterium?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "A bacterium."}
]
dataset = Dataset.from_dict({"chat": [chat1, chat2]})
dataset = dataset.map(lambda x: {"formatted_chat": tokenizer.apply_chat_template(x["chat"], tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=False)})
print(dataset['formatted_chat'][0])
```
And we get:
```text
<|user|>
Which is bigger, the moon or the sun?</s>
<|assistant|>
The sun.</s>
```
From here, just continue training like you would with a standard language modelling task, using the `formatted_chat` column.
## Advanced: How do chat templates work?
The chat template for a model is stored on the `tokenizer.chat_template` attribute. If no chat template is set, the
default template for that model class is used instead. Let's take a look at the template for `BlenderBot`:
```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/blenderbot-400M-distill")
>>> tokenizer.default_chat_template
"{% for message in messages %}{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}{{ ' ' }}{% endif %}{{ message['content'] }}{% if not loop.last %}{{ ' ' }}{% endif %}{% endfor %}{{ eos_token }}"
```
That's kind of intimidating. Let's add some newlines and indentation to make it more readable. Note that the first
newline after each block as well as any preceding whitespace before a block are ignored by default, using the
Jinja `trim_blocks` and `lstrip_blocks` flags. However, be cautious - although leading whitespace on each
line is stripped, spaces between blocks on the same line are not. We strongly recommend checking that your template
isn't printing extra spaces where it shouldn't be!
```
{% for message in messages %}
{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}
{{ ' ' }}
{% endif %}
{{ message['content'] }}
{% if not loop.last %}
{{ ' ' }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{{ eos_token }}
```
If you've never seen one of these before, this is a [Jinja template](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/templates/).
Jinja is a templating language that allows you to write simple code that generates text. In many ways, the code and
syntax resembles Python. In pure Python, this template would look something like this:
```python
for idx, message in enumerate(messages):
if message['role'] == 'user':
print(' ')
print(message['content'])
if not idx == len(messages) - 1: # Check for the last message in the conversation
print(' ')
print(eos_token)
```
Effectively, the template does three things:
1. For each message, if the message is a user message, add a blank space before it, otherwise print nothing.
2. Add the message content
3. If the message is not the last message, add two spaces after it. After the final message, print the EOS token.
This is a pretty simple template - it doesn't add any control tokens, and it doesn't support "system" messages, which
are a common way to give the model directives about how it should behave in the subsequent conversation.
But Jinja gives you a lot of flexibility to do those things! Let's see a Jinja template that can format inputs
similarly to the way LLaMA formats them (note that the real LLaMA template includes handling for default system
messages and slightly different system message handling in general - don't use this one in your actual code!)
```
{% for message in messages %}
{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}
{{ bos_token + '[INST] ' + message['content'] + ' [/INST]' }}
{% elif message['role'] == 'system' %}
{{ '<<SYS>>\\n' + message['content'] + '\\n<</SYS>>\\n\\n' }}
{% elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}
{{ ' ' + message['content'] + ' ' + eos_token }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
```
Hopefully if you stare at this for a little bit you can see what this template is doing - it adds specific tokens based
on the "role" of each message, which represents who sent it. User, assistant and system messages are clearly
distinguishable to the model because of the tokens they're wrapped in.
## Advanced: Adding and editing chat templates
### How do I create a chat template?
Simple, just write a jinja template and set `tokenizer.chat_template`. You may find it easier to start with an
existing template from another model and simply edit it for your needs! For example, we could take the LLaMA template
above and add "[ASST]" and "[/ASST]" to assistant messages:
```
{% for message in messages %}
{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}
{{ bos_token + '[INST] ' + message['content'].strip() + ' [/INST]' }}
{% elif message['role'] == 'system' %}
{{ '<<SYS>>\\n' + message['content'].strip() + '\\n<</SYS>>\\n\\n' }}
{% elif message['role'] == 'assistant' %}
{{ '[ASST] ' + message['content'] + ' [/ASST]' + eos_token }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
```
Now, simply set the `tokenizer.chat_template` attribute. Next time you use [`~PreTrainedTokenizer.apply_chat_template`], it will
use your new template! This attribute will be saved in the `tokenizer_config.json` file, so you can use
[`~utils.PushToHubMixin.push_to_hub`] to upload your new template to the Hub and make sure everyone's using the right
template for your model!
```python
template = tokenizer.chat_template
template = template.replace("SYS", "SYSTEM") # Change the system token
tokenizer.chat_template = template # Set the new template
tokenizer.push_to_hub("model_name") # Upload your new template to the Hub!
```
The method [`~PreTrainedTokenizer.apply_chat_template`] which uses your chat template is called by the [`TextGenerationPipeline`] class, so
once you set the correct chat template, your model will automatically become compatible with [`TextGenerationPipeline`].
<Tip>
If you're fine-tuning a model for chat, in addition to setting a chat template, you should probably add any new chat
control tokens as special tokens in the tokenizer. Special tokens are never split,
ensuring that your control tokens are always handled as single tokens rather than being tokenized in pieces. You
should also set the tokenizer's `eos_token` attribute to the token that marks the end of assistant generations in your
template. This will ensure that text generation tools can correctly figure out when to stop generating text.
</Tip>
### What are "default" templates?
Before the introduction of chat templates, chat handling was hardcoded at the model class level. For backwards
compatibility, we have retained this class-specific handling as default templates, also set at the class level. If a
model does not have a chat template set, but there is a default template for its model class, the `TextGenerationPipeline`
class and methods like `apply_chat_template` will use the class template instead. You can find out what the default
template for your tokenizer is by checking the `tokenizer.default_chat_template` attribute.
This is something we do purely for backward compatibility reasons, to avoid breaking any existing workflows. Even when
the class template is appropriate for your model, we strongly recommend overriding the default template by
setting the `chat_template` attribute explicitly to make it clear to users that your model has been correctly configured
for chat, and to future-proof in case the default templates are ever altered or deprecated.
### What template should I use?
When setting the template for a model that's already been trained for chat, you should ensure that the template
exactly matches the message formatting that the model saw during training, or else you will probably experience
performance degradation. This is true even if you're training the model further - you will probably get the best
performance if you keep the chat tokens constant. This is very analogous to tokenization - you generally get the
best performance for inference or fine-tuning when you precisely match the tokenization used during training.
If you're training a model from scratch, or fine-tuning a base language model for chat, on the other hand,
you have a lot of freedom to choose an appropriate template! LLMs are smart enough to learn to handle lots of different
input formats. Our default template for models that don't have a class-specific template follows the
`ChatML` format, and this is a good, flexible choice for many use-cases. It looks like this:
```
{% for message in messages %}
{{'<|im_start|>' + message['role'] + '\n' + message['content'] + '<|im_end|>' + '\n'}}
{% endfor %}
```
If you like this one, here it is in one-liner form, ready to copy into your code. The one-liner also includes
handy support for [generation prompts](#what-are-generation-prompts), but note that it doesn't add BOS or EOS tokens!
If your model expects those, they won't be added automatically by `apply_chat_template` - in other words, the
text will be tokenized with `add_special_tokens=False`. This is to avoid potential conflicts between the template and
the `add_special_tokens` logic. If your model expects special tokens, make sure to add them to the template!
```python
tokenizer.chat_template = "{% if not add_generation_prompt is defined %}{% set add_generation_prompt = false %}{% endif %}{% for message in messages %}{{'<|im_start|>' + message['role'] + '\n' + message['content'] + '<|im_end|>' + '\n'}}{% endfor %}{% if add_generation_prompt %}{{ '<|im_start|>assistant\n' }}{% endif %}"
```
This template wraps each message in `<|im_start|>` and `<|im_end|>` tokens, and simply writes the role as a string, which
allows for flexibility in the roles you train with. The output looks like this:
```text
<|im_start|>system
You are a helpful chatbot that will do its best not to say anything so stupid that people tweet about it.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
How are you?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
I'm doing great!<|im_end|>
```
The "user", "system" and "assistant" roles are the standard for chat, and we recommend using them when it makes sense,
particularly if you want your model to operate well with [`TextGenerationPipeline`]. However, you are not limited
to these roles - templating is extremely flexible, and any string can be a role.
### I want to add some chat templates! How should I get started?
If you have any chat models, you should set their `tokenizer.chat_template` attribute and test it using
[`~PreTrainedTokenizer.apply_chat_template`], then push the updated tokenizer to the Hub. This applies even if you're
not the model owner - if you're using a model with an empty chat template, or one that's still using the default class
template, please open a [pull request](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/repositories-pull-requests-discussions) to the model repository so that this attribute can be set properly!
Once the attribute is set, that's it, you're done! `tokenizer.apply_chat_template` will now work correctly for that
model, which means it is also automatically supported in places like `TextGenerationPipeline`!
By ensuring that models have this attribute, we can make sure that the whole community gets to use the full power of
open-source models. Formatting mismatches have been haunting the field and silently harming performance for too long -
it's time to put an end to them!
## Advanced: Template writing tips
If you're unfamiliar with Jinja, we generally find that the easiest way to write a chat template is to first
write a short Python script that formats messages the way you want, and then convert that script into a template.
Remember that the template handler will receive the conversation history as a variable called `messages`. Each
message is a dictionary with two keys, `role` and `content`. You will be able to access `messages` in your template
just like you can in Python, which means you can loop over it with `{% for message in messages %}` or access
individual messages with, for example, `{{ messages[0] }}`.
You can also use the following tips to convert your code to Jinja:
### For loops
For loops in Jinja look like this:
```
{% for message in messages %}
{{ message['content'] }}
{% endfor %}
```
Note that whatever's inside the {{ expression block }} will be printed to the output. You can use operators like
`+` to combine strings inside expression blocks.
### If statements
If statements in Jinja look like this:
```
{% if message['role'] == 'user' %}
{{ message['content'] }}
{% endif %}
```
Note how where Python uses whitespace to mark the beginnings and ends of `for` and `if` blocks, Jinja requires you
to explicitly end them with `{% endfor %}` and `{% endif %}`.
### Special variables
Inside your template, you will have access to the list of `messages`, but you can also access several other special
variables. These include special tokens like `bos_token` and `eos_token`, as well as the `add_generation_prompt`
variable that we discussed above. You can also use the `loop` variable to access information about the current loop
iteration, for example using `{% if loop.last %}` to check if the current message is the last message in the
conversation. Here's an example that puts these ideas together to add a generation prompt at the end of the
conversation if add_generation_prompt is `True`:
```
{% if loop.last and add_generation_prompt %}
{{ bos_token + 'Assistant:\n' }}
{% endif %}
```
### Notes on whitespace
As much as possible, we've tried to get Jinja to ignore whitespace outside of {{ expressions }}. However, be aware
that Jinja is a general-purpose templating engine, and it may treat whitespace between blocks on the same line
as significant and print it to the output. We **strongly** recommend checking that your template isn't printing extra
spaces where it shouldn't be before you upload it! | chat_templating.md |
