## How to Get Started with the Model

<details>
<summary>Click to expand</summary>

Use the code below to get started with the model.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")
```

### Tutorial on using the model for text generation

[This tutorial](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference) from Huggingface will be the base layer for running our model. The tutorial is intended for BLOOM; however, since our model is based off of BLOOM we can repurpose it.

For setup instructions follow the Huggingface tutorial.

NOTE: Things that we had to modify in order for BLOOMChat to work:
- Install transformers version 4.27.0
    - `pip install transformers==4.27.0`
- Change the model name from `bigscience/bloom` to `sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1`
- Modifying `inference_server/models/hf_accelerate.py`
    - This is because for our testing of this repo we used 4 80GB A100 GPUs and would run into memory issues
- Modifying `inference_server/cli.py`
    - This is because the model was trained using specific human, bot tags
    - Trailing spaces may lead to subpar performance

Modifications for `inference_server/models/hf_accelerate.py`:

```python
from accelerate.utils.modeling import get_max_memory
...
class HFAccelerateModel(Model):
    def __init__(self, args: Namespace) -> None:
        ...
        original_max_memory_dict = get_max_memory()

        reduce_max_memory_dict = {device_key: int(original_max_memory_dict[device_key] * 0.85) for device_key in original_max_memory_dict}

        kwargs["max_memory"] = reduce_max_memory_dict
```

Modifications for `inference_server/cli.py`:

```python
def main() -> None:
    ...
    while True:
        input_text = input("Input text: ")

        input_text = input_text.strip()
        modified_input_text = f"<human>: {input_text}\n<bot>:"
```

Running command for int8 (sub optimal performance, but fast inference time):
```
python -m inference_server.cli --model_name sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1 --model_class AutoModelForCausalLM --dtype int8 --deployment_framework hf_accelerate --generate_kwargs '{"do_sample": false, "temperature": 0.8, "repetition_penalty": 1.2, "top_p": 0.9, "max_new_tokens": 512}'
```
Running command for bf16
```
python -m inference_server.cli --model_name sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1 --model_class AutoModelForCausalLM --dtype bf16 --deployment_framework hf_accelerate --generate_kwargs '{"do_sample": false, "temperature": 0.8, "repetition_penalty": 1.2, "top_p": 0.9, "max_new_tokens": 512}'
```
**DISCLAIMER:** When using int8, the results will be subpar compared to bf16 as the model is being [quantized](https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-bitsandbytes-integration#introduction-to-model-quantization). 

### Suggested Inference Parameters
- Temperature: 0.8
- Repetition penalty: 1.2
- Top-p: 0.9
- Max generated tokens: 512

### Suggested Prompts To Try
```
<human>: Write a script in which Bob accidentally breaks his dad's guitar

## Some example completions for English

```
<human>: What does it mean for the Fed to raise or lower interest rates?
<bot>: The Federal Reserve (also known as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States.  It was created in 1913, and is an independent agency of the federal government.  The Fed has a dual mandate of maximizing employment and stabilizing prices.  The Fed sets interest rates, and can influence the money supply and the credit markets through its actions.

Raising interest rates means that the Fed is trying to reduce the money supply in the economy, and is trying to discourage borrowing and encourage saving.  Lowering interest rates means that the Fed is trying to stimulate economic growth by encouraging borrowing and reducing the cost of credit.

The Fed raises or lowers interest rates in order to influence the economy and achieve its goals for employment and price stability.  Interest rates are one of the primary tools that the Fed uses to achieve its goals.

```
<human>: What is artificial intelligence? Explain it so an 8 year old will understand.
<bot>: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program or machine that can do things that would normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, making decisions, and learning from experience. AI can be found in many places, such as self-driving cars, smartphones, and even robots. AI is used to make things easier for people, like when your smartphone can translate text into another language or when your voice-controlled speaker can play music for you.
AI works by using algorithms and big data to learn and improve over time. For example, self-driving cars use AI to analyze the environment around them and make decisions about how to drive. The car gathers data from its sensors, processes it using algorithms, and adjusts its behavior accordingly. This process is called machine learning.
AI is still a developing technology, and there are still many things that AI programs cannot do yet. However, as AI continues to evolve, it is likely that it will become more and more capable of performing tasks that were once thought to require human intelligence.

```
<human>: هل العمل نصف دوام فكرة جيدة لمراهقين بين عمر ١٥ و ١٩ عام
<bot>: نعم، يمكن أن تكون فكرة جيدة لبعض المراهقين في هذا العمر. هناك العديد من الفوائد التي قد يحققها المراهقون إذا عملوا بنصف دوام:

- يساعدهم على تعلم المسؤولية وإدارة الوقت: عندما يعمل المراهق بنصف دوام، فإنه يتعلم كيفية إدارة وقته بشكل فعال وكيفية تقسيم ساعات عمله إلى مهام أصغر.
- يحسن مهارات التواصل والعمل الجماعي: غالبًا ما يكون مكان العمل بيئة متعددة الثقافات حيث يلتقي المراهقون بمجموعة متنوعة من الأشخاص ويتعلمون كيفية التعاون معهم وتبادل الأفكار.
- يوفر فرصة للتعرف على عالم العمل: يتيح العمل للمراهق التعرف على عالم العمل واكتساب خبرة عملية قيمة ستساعده لاحقًا عند البحث عن وظيفة أو بدء حياته المهنية.
- يعزز الشعور بالمسؤولية والثقة بالنفس: عندما يعمل المراهق بنصف دوام ويحصل على دخل خاص به، فإنه يكتسب شعورًا أكبر بالمسؤولية والثقة بالنفس.

ومع ذلك، لا ينبغي إجبار المراهقين على العمل بنصف دوام دون موافقتهم المسبقة. يجب أيضًا مراعاة أعمارهم وقدراتهم البدنية والعقلية قبل توظيفهم.

<human>: Il y a t’il un petit-déjeuner de 700-1000 calories sans oeuf mais qui inclut des protéines.
<bot>: Oui, voici une recette de petit déjeuner à base d'avoine et de fromage blanc :
Ingrédients :
- 1 tasse (250 ml) de lait d'amande ou autre lait végétal
- 2 cuillères à soupe bombées (30 g) de flocons d'avoine
- 1/2 banane mûre écrasée
- 1/4 de pomme fraîche épluchée et coupée en dés
- 1 cuillère à soupe de beurre d'amande ou autre purée d'oléagineux
- 1 cuillère à café de cannelle moulue
- 1 pincée de sel
Préparation :
1. Dans une petite casserole, faites chauffer le lait jusqu'à ce qu'il soit chaud.
2. Ajoutez les flocons d'avoine, la banane, la pomme, le beurre d'amande, la cannelle et le sel dans le bol du mixeur et mélangez bien pour obtenir une pâte homogène.
3. Versez le mélange dans le lait chaud et remuez rapidement avec une spatule en bois pour éviter que les flocons d'avoine ne s'agglutinent au fond de la casserole.
4. Laissez mijoter sur feu doux pendant environ 5 minutes tout en continuant de remuer régulièrement.
5. Transférez ensuite le porridge dans un bol et servez immédiatement. Vous pouvez ajouter quelques fruits rouges frais pour décorer et apporter encore plus de gourmandise à votre petit déjeuner ! Bon appétit !

<human>: ¿Me puedes dar algunas recomendaciones de juegos? Estoy buscando juegos de rol con un sistema de magia único, un sistema de construcción único y una buena historia. Por favor limítate a juegos que se puedan jugar en PC directamente, o por emulación.
<bot>: Claro! Aquí te dejo tres recomendaciones:
1. The Outer Worlds: es un juego de rol de ciencia ficción con un sistema de magia basado en la tecnología alienígena que permite al jugador personalizar sus habilidades para adaptarse a su estilo de juego.
2. Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition: este juego combina elementos de RPG con estrategia en tiempo real (RTS), lo que le da al jugador un control total sobre cómo construir y mejorar su personaje y el mundo que lo rodea.
3. Pillars of Eternity: esta aventura de fantasía oscura tiene lugar en un vasto mundo abierto donde los jugadores pueden elegir entre diferentes clases y desarrollar relaciones con otros personajes del juego. La mecánica de combate está basada en turnos y utiliza hechizos y armas cuerpo a cuerpo.
Estos son solo algunos ejemplos de juegos que podrían interesarte según tus criterios. Hay muchos más títulos disponibles en el mercado que podrían ajustarse a tu gusto, así que no dudes en explorar otras opciones si estos juegos no cumplen con tus expectativas.

### Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

- [OIG dataset from OpenChatKit](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/OIG)
- [Dolly 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k)
- [Oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1)

### Training Procedure 

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

We trained BLOOMChat with SambaStudio, a platform built on SambaNova's in-house Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU). We started from [BLOOM](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom), an OSS multilingual 176B GPT model pretrained by the [BigScience group](https://huggingface.co/bigscience). There was also some preprocessing done on the training datasets.

### Prompting Style Used For Training
```
<human>: {input that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: 
```

```
<human>: {fewshot1 input}
<bot>: {fewshot1 response}
<human>: {fewshot2 input}
<bot>: {fewshot2 response}
<human>: {input that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: 
```

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Like all LLMs, BLOOMChat has certain limitations:
- Hallucination: BLOOMChat may sometimes generate responses that contain plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or irrelevant information.
- Code Switching: The model might unintentionally switch between languages or dialects within a single response, affecting the coherence and understandability of the output.
- Repetition: BLOOMChat may produce repetitive phrases or sentences, leading to less engaging and informative responses.
- Coding and Math: The model's performance in generating accurate code or solving complex mathematical problems may be limited.
- Toxicity: BLOOMChat may inadvertently generate responses containing inappropriate or harmful content.
