Cohere

Overview

The Cohere Command-R model was proposed in the blogpost Command-R: Retrieval Augmented Generation at Production Scale by the Cohere Team.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

Command-R is a scalable generative model targeting RAG and Tool Use to enable production-scale AI for enterprise. Today, we are introducing Command-R, a new LLM aimed at large-scale production workloads. Command-R targets the emerging “scalable” category of models that balance high efficiency with strong accuracy, enabling companies to move beyond proof of concept, and into production.

*Command-R is a generative model optimized for long context tasks such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and using external APIs and tools. It is designed to work in concert with our industry-leading Embed and Rerank models to provide best-in-class integration for RAG applications and excel at enterprise use cases. As a model built for companies to implement at scale, Command-R boasts:

  • Strong accuracy on RAG and Tool Use
  • Low latency, and high throughput
  • Longer 128k context and lower pricing
  • Strong capabilities across 10 key languages
  • Model weights available on HuggingFace for research and evaluation

Checkout model checkpoints here. This model was contributed by Saurabh Dash and Ahmet Üstün. The code of the implementation in Hugging Face is based on GPT-NeoX here.

Usage tips

The checkpoints uploaded on the Hub use torch_dtype = 'float16', which will be used by the AutoModel API to cast the checkpoints from torch.float32 to torch.float16.

The dtype of the online weights is mostly irrelevant unless you are using torch_dtype="auto" when initializing a model using model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("path", torch_dtype = "auto"). The reason is that the model will first be downloaded ( using the dtype of the checkpoints online), then it will be casted to the default dtype of torch (becomes torch.float32), and finally, if there is a torch_dtype provided in the config, it will be used.

Training the model in float16 is not recommended and is known to produce nan; as such, the model should be trained in bfloat16.

The model and tokenizer can be loaded via: 
# pip install transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Format message with the command-r chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how are you?"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
## <BOS_TOKEN><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|USER_TOKEN|>Hello, how are you?<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>

gen_tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids, 
    max_new_tokens=100, 
    do_sample=True, 
    temperature=0.3,
    )

gen_text = tokenizer.decode(gen_tokens[0])
print(gen_text)
  • When using Flash Attention 2 via attn_implementation="flash_attention_2", don’t pass torch_dtype to the from_pretrained class method and use Automatic Mixed-Precision training. When using Trainer, it is simply specifying either fp16 or bf16 to True. Otherwise, make sure you are using torch.autocast. This is required because the Flash Attention only support fp16 and bf16 data type.

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a CohereModel. It is used to instantiate an Cohere model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from PretrainedConfig and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the documentation from PretrainedConfig for more information. Instantiating a configuration with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01 model.

>>> from transformers import CohereModel, CohereConfig

>>> # Initializing a Cohere model configuration
>>> configuration = CohereConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the Cohere configuration
>>> model = CohereModel(configuration)
>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config

CohereTokenizerFast

class transformers.CohereTokenizerFast

< >

( vocab_file = None merges_file = None tokenizer_file = None clean_up_tokenization_spaces = False unk_token = '<UNK>' bos_token = '<BOS_TOKEN>' eos_token = '<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>' add_bos_token = True add_eos_token = False use_default_system_prompt = False add_prefix_space = False **kwargs )

Parameters

  • vocab_file (str, optional) — Path to the vocabulary file.
  • merges_file (str, optional) — Path to the merges file.
  • tokenizer_file (str, optional) — tokenizers file (generally has a .json extension) that contains everything needed to load the tokenizer.
  • clean_up_tokenization_spaces (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to cleanup spaces after decoding, cleanup consists in removing potential artifacts like extra spaces.
  • unk_token (str or tokenizers.AddedToken, optional, defaults to "<UNK>") — The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this token instead.
  • bos_token (str or tokenizers.AddedToken, optional, defaults to "<BOS_TOKEN>") — The beginning of sequence token that was used during pretraining. Can be used a sequence classifier token.
  • eos_token (str or tokenizers.AddedToken, optional, defaults to "<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|>") — The end of sequence token.

Construct a Cohere tokenizer. Based on byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

This uses notably ByteFallback and NFC normalization.

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
>>> tokenizer.encode("Hello this is a test")
[5, 28339, 2075, 1801, 1671, 3282]

If you want to change the bos_token or the eos_token, make sure to specify them when initializing the model, or call tokenizer.update_post_processor() to make sure that the post-processing is correctly done (otherwise the values of the first token and final token of an encoded sequence will not be correct). For more details, checkout [post-processors] (https://huggingface.co/docs/tokenizers/api/post-processors) documentation.

You can get around that behavior by passing add_prefix_space=True when instantiating this tokenizer, but since the model was not pretrained this way, it might yield a decrease in performance.

When used with is_split_into_words=True, this tokenizer needs to be instantiated with add_prefix_space=True.

This tokenizer inherits from PreTrainedTokenizerFast which contains most of the main methods. Users should refer to this superclass for more information regarding those methods.

Returns

A list of integers in the range [0, 1]

1 for a special token, 0 for a sequence token.

Retrieves sequence ids from a token list that has no special tokens added. This method is called when adding special tokens using the tokenizer prepare_for_model or encode_plus methods.

Updates the underlying post processor with the current bos_token and eos_token.

save_vocabulary

< >

( save_directory: str filename_prefix: Optional = None ) → Tuple(str)

This method won’t save the configuration and special token mappings of the tokenizer. Use _save_pretrained() to save the whole state of the tokenizer.

CohereModel

class transformers.CohereModel

< >

( config: CohereConfig )

Parameters

  • config (CohereConfig) — Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the from_pretrained() method to load the model weights. config — CohereConfig

The bare Cohere Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top. This model inherits from PreTrainedModel. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch torch.nn.Module subclass. Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage and behavior.

( input_ids: LongTensor = None attention_mask: Optional = None position_ids: Optional = None past_key_values: Optional = None inputs_embeds: Optional = None use_cache: Optional = None output_attentions: Optional = None output_hidden_states: Optional = None return_dict: Optional = None cache_position: Optional = None )

Parameters

  • input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) — Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default should you provide it.

    Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

    What are input IDs?

  • attention_mask (torch.Tensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in [0, 1]:

    • 1 for tokens that are not masked,
    • 0 for tokens that are masked.

    What are attention masks?

    Indices can be obtained using AutoTokenizer. See PreTrainedTokenizer.encode() and PreTrainedTokenizer.call() for details.

    If past_key_values is used, optionally only the last input_ids have to be input (see past_key_values).

    If you want to change padding behavior, you should read modeling_opt._prepare_decoder_attention_mask and modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in the paper for more information on the default strategy.

    • 1 indicates the head is not masked,
    • 0 indicates the head is masked.
  • position_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range [0, config.n_positions - 1].

    What are position IDs?

  • past_key_values (Cache or tuple(tuple(torch.FloatTensor)), optional) — Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the past_key_values returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when use_cache=True or config.use_cache=True.

    Two formats are allowed:

    • a Cache instance;
    • Tuple of tuple(torch.FloatTensor) of length config.n_layers, with each tuple having 2 tensors of shape (batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, embed_size_per_head)). This is also known as the legacy cache format.

    The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input. If no past_key_values are passed, the legacy cache format will be returned.

    If past_key_values are used, the user can optionally input only the last input_ids (those that don’t have their past key value states given to this model) of shape (batch_size, 1) instead of all input_ids of shape (batch_size, sequence_length).

  • inputs_embeds (torch.FloatTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size), optional) — Optionally, instead of passing input_ids you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert input_ids indices into associated vectors than the model’s internal embedding lookup matrix.
  • use_cache (bool, optional) — If set to True, past_key_values key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see past_key_values).
  • output_attentions (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See attentions under returned tensors for more detail.
  • output_hidden_states (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See hidden_states under returned tensors for more detail.
  • return_dict (bool, optional) — Whether or not to return a ModelOutput instead of a plain tuple.

The CohereModel forward method, overrides the __call__ special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the Module instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them.
