Models¶

The base classes PreTrainedModel, TFPreTrainedModel, and FlaxPreTrainedModel implement the common methods for loading/saving a model either from a local file or directory, or from a pretrained model configuration provided by the library (downloaded from HuggingFace’s AWS S3 repository).

PreTrainedModel and TFPreTrainedModel also implement a few methods which are common among all the models to:

resize the input token embeddings when new tokens are added to the vocabulary
prune the attention heads of the model.

The other methods that are common to each model are defined in ModuleUtilsMixin (for the PyTorch models) and TFModuleUtilsMixin (for the TensorFlow models) or for text generation, GenerationMixin (for the PyTorch models), TFGenerationMixin (for the TensorFlow models) and FlaxGenerationMixin (for the Flax/JAX models).

PreTrainedModel¶

class transformers.PreTrainedModel(config: transformers.configuration_utils.PretrainedConfig, *inputs, **kwargs)[source]¶

Base class for all models.

PreTrainedModel takes care of storing the configuration of the models and handles methods for loading, downloading and saving models as well as a few methods common to all models to:

resize the input embeddings,

prune heads in the self-attention heads.

Class attributes (overridden by derived classes):

config_class (PretrainedConfig) – A subclass of PretrainedConfig to use as configuration class for this model architecture.

load_tf_weights (Callable) – A python method for loading a TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch model, taking as arguments:

model (PreTrainedModel) – An instance of the model on which to load the TensorFlow checkpoint.

config (PreTrainedConfig) – An instance of the configuration associated to the model.

path (str) – A path to the TensorFlow checkpoint.

base_model_prefix (str) – A string indicating the attribute associated to the base model in derived classes of the same architecture adding modules on top of the base model.

is_parallelizable (bool) – A flag indicating whether this model supports model parallelization.

property base_model¶

The main body of the model.

Type: torch.nn.Module

property dummy_inputs¶

Dummy inputs to do a forward pass in the network.

Type: Dict[str, torch.Tensor]

classmethod from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path: Optional[Union[str, os.PathLike]], *model_args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Instantiate a pretrained pytorch model from a pre-trained model configuration.

The model is set in evaluation mode by default using model.eval() (Dropout modules are deactivated). To train the model, you should first set it back in training mode with model.train().

The warning Weights from XXX not initialized from pretrained model means that the weights of XXX do not come pretrained with the rest of the model. It is up to you to train those weights with a downstream fine-tuning task.

The warning Weights from XXX not used in YYY means that the layer XXX is not used by YYY, therefore those weights are discarded.

Parameters

pretrained_model_name_or_path (str or os.PathLike, optional) –
Can be either:
- A string, the model id of a pretrained model hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co. Valid model ids can be located at the root-level, like bert-base-uncased, or namespaced under a user or organization name, like dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased.
- A path to a directory containing model weights saved using save_pretrained(), e.g., ./my_model_directory/.
- A path or url to a tensorflow index checkpoint file (e.g, ./tf_model/model.ckpt.index). In this case, from_tf should be set to True and a configuration object should be provided as config argument. This loading path is slower than converting the TensorFlow checkpoint in a PyTorch model using the provided conversion scripts and loading the PyTorch model afterwards.
- A path or url to a model folder containing a flax checkpoint file in .msgpack format (e.g, ./flax_model/ containing flax_model.msgpack). In this case, from_flax should be set to True.
- None if you are both providing the configuration and state dictionary (resp. with keyword arguments config and state_dict).
model_args (sequence of positional arguments, optional) – All remaining positional arguments will be passed to the underlying model’s __init__ method.
config (Union[PretrainedConfig, str, os.PathLike], optional) –
Can be either:
- an instance of a class derived from PretrainedConfig,
- a string or path valid as input to from_pretrained().
Configuration for the model to use instead of an automatically loaded configuration. Configuration can be automatically loaded when:
- The model is a model provided by the library (loaded with the model id string of a pretrained model).
- The model was saved using save_pretrained() and is reloaded by supplying the save directory.
- The model is loaded by supplying a local directory as pretrained_model_name_or_path and a configuration JSON file named config.json is found in the directory.
state_dict (Dict[str, torch.Tensor], optional) –
A state dictionary to use instead of a state dictionary loaded from saved weights file.

This option can be used if you want to create a model from a pretrained configuration but load your own weights. In this case though, you should check if using save_pretrained() and from_pretrained() is not a simpler option.
cache_dir (Union[str, os.PathLike], optional) – Path to a directory in which a downloaded pretrained model configuration should be cached if the standard cache should not be used.
from_tf (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Load the model weights from a TensorFlow checkpoint save file (see docstring of pretrained_model_name_or_path argument).
from_flax (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Load the model weights from a Flax checkpoint save file (see docstring of pretrained_model_name_or_path argument).
ignore_mismatched_sizes (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to raise an error if some of the weights from the checkpoint do not have the same size as the weights of the model (if for instance, you are instantiating a model with 10 labels from a checkpoint with 3 labels).
force_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to force the (re-)download of the model weights and configuration files, overriding the cached versions if they exist.
resume_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to delete incompletely received files. Will attempt to resume the download if such a file exists.
proxies (Dict[str, str], `optional) – A dictionary of proxy servers to use by protocol or endpoint, e.g., {'http': 'foo.bar:3128', 'http://hostname': 'foo.bar:4012'}. The proxies are used on each request.
output_loading_info (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether ot not to also return a dictionary containing missing keys, unexpected keys and error messages.
local_files_only (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to only look at local files (i.e., do not try to download the model).
use_auth_token (str or bool, optional) – The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If True, will use the token generated when running transformers-cli login (stored in huggingface).
revision (str, optional, defaults to "main") – The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id, since we use a git-based system for storing models and other artifacts on huggingface.co, so revision can be any identifier allowed by git.
mirror (str, optional) – Mirror source to accelerate downloads in China. If you are from China and have an accessibility problem, you can set this option to resolve it. Note that we do not guarantee the timeliness or safety. Please refer to the mirror site for more information.
_fast_init (bool, optional, defaults to :obj:`True) – Whether or not to disable fast initialization.
torch_dtype (str or torch.dtype, optional) –
Override the default torch.dtype and load the model under this dtype. If "auto" is passed the dtype will be automatically derived from the model’s weights.

Warning

One should only disable _fast_init to ensure backwards compatibility with transformers.__version__ < 4.6.0 for seeded model initialization. This argument will be removed at the next major version. See pull request 11471 for more information.
kwargs (remaining dictionary of keyword arguments, optional) –
Can be used to update the configuration object (after it being loaded) and initiate the model (e.g., output_attentions=True). Behaves differently depending on whether a config is provided or automatically loaded:
- If a configuration is provided with config, **kwargs will be directly passed to the underlying model’s __init__ method (we assume all relevant updates to the configuration have already been done)
- If a configuration is not provided, kwargs will be first passed to the configuration class initialization function (from_pretrained()). Each key of kwargs that corresponds to a configuration attribute will be used to override said attribute with the supplied kwargs value. Remaining keys that do not correspond to any configuration attribute will be passed to the underlying model’s __init__ function.

Note

Passing use_auth_token=True is required when you want to use a private model.

Note

Activate the special “offline-mode” to use this method in a firewalled environment.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import BertConfig, BertModel
>>> # Download model and configuration from huggingface.co and cache.
>>> model = BertModel.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased')
>>> # Model was saved using `save_pretrained('./test/saved_model/')` (for example purposes, not runnable).
>>> model = BertModel.from_pretrained('./test/saved_model/')
>>> # Update configuration during loading.
>>> model = BertModel.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased', output_attentions=True)
>>> assert model.config.output_attentions == True
>>> # Loading from a TF checkpoint file instead of a PyTorch model (slower, for example purposes, not runnable).
>>> config = BertConfig.from_json_file('./tf_model/my_tf_model_config.json')
>>> model = BertModel.from_pretrained('./tf_model/my_tf_checkpoint.ckpt.index', from_tf=True, config=config)
>>> # Loading from a Flax checkpoint file instead of a PyTorch model (slower)

Upload the model checkpoint to the 🤗 Model Hub while synchronizing a local clone of the repo in repo_path_or_name.

Parameters

repo_path_or_name (str, optional) – Can either be a repository name for your model in the Hub or a path to a local folder (in which case the repository will have the name of that local folder). If not specified, will default to the name given by repo_url and a local directory with that name will be created.

model.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert")

# Push the model to your namespace with the name "my-finetuned-bert" with no local clone.
model.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert", use_temp_dir=True)

# Push the model to an organization with the name "my-finetuned-bert" and have a local clone in the
# `my-finetuned-bert` folder.
model.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert", organization="huggingface")

# Make a change to an existing repo that has been cloned locally in `my-finetuned-bert`.
model.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert", repo_url="https://huggingface.co/sgugger/my-finetuned-bert")

resize_token_embeddings(new_num_tokens: Optional[int] = None) → torch.nn.modules.sparse.Embedding[source]¶

Resizes input token embeddings matrix of the model if new_num_tokens != config.vocab_size.

Takes care of tying weights embeddings afterwards if the model class has a tie_weights() method.

Parameters: new_num_tokens (int, optional) – The number of new tokens in the embedding matrix. Increasing the size will add newly initialized vectors at the end. Reducing the size will remove vectors from the end. If not provided or None, just returns a pointer to the input tokens torch.nn.Embedding module of the model without doing anything.
Returns: Pointer to the input tokens Embeddings Module of the model.
Return type: torch.nn.Embedding

save_pretrained(save_directory: Union[str, os.PathLike], save_config: bool = True, state_dict: Optional[dict] = None, save_function: Callable = <function save>, push_to_hub: bool = False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Save a model and its configuration file to a directory, so that it can be re-loaded using the :func:`~transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained` class method.

Parameters

save_directory (str or os.PathLike) – Directory to which to save. Will be created if it doesn’t exist.
save_config (bool, optional, defaults to True) – Whether or not to save the config of the model. Useful when in distributed training like TPUs and need to call this function on all processes. In this case, set save_config=True only on the main process to avoid race conditions.
state_dict (nested dictionary of torch.Tensor) – The state dictionary of the model to save. Will default to self.state_dict(), but can be used to only save parts of the model or if special precautions need to be taken when recovering the state dictionary of a model (like when using model parallelism).
save_function (Callable) – The function to use to save the state dictionary. Useful on distributed training like TPUs when one need to replace torch.save by another method.
push_to_hub (bool, optional, defaults to False) –
Whether or not to push your model to the Hugging Face model hub after saving it.

Warning

Using push_to_hub=True will synchronize the repository you are pushing to with save_directory, which requires save_directory to be a local clone of the repo you are pushing to if it’s an existing folder. Pass along temp_dir=True to use a temporary directory instead.
kwargs – Additional key word arguments passed along to the push_to_hub() method.

set_input_embeddings(value: torch.nn.modules.module.Module)[source]¶

Set model’s input embeddings.

Parameters: value (nn.Module) – A module mapping vocabulary to hidden states.

tie_weights()[source]¶

Tie the weights between the input embeddings and the output embeddings.

If the torchscript flag is set in the configuration, can’t handle parameter sharing so we are cloning the weights instead.

Model Instantiation dtype¶

Under Pytorch a model normally gets instantiated with torch.float32 format. This can be an issue if one tries to load a model whose weights are in fp16, since it’d require twice as much memory. To overcome this limitation, you can either explicitly pass the desired dtype using torch_dtype argument:

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("t5", torch_dtype=torch.float16)

or, if you want the model to always load in the most optimal memory pattern, you can use the special value "auto", and then dtype will be automatically derived from the model’s weights:

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("t5", torch_dtype="auto")

Models instantiated from scratch can also be told which dtype to use with:

config = T5Config.from_pretrained("t5")
model = AutoModel.from_config(config)

Due to Pytorch design, this functionality is only available for floating dtypes.

ModuleUtilsMixin¶

resize_token_embeddings(new_num_tokens=None) → tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable[source]¶

Resizes input token embeddings matrix of the model if new_num_tokens != config.vocab_size.

Takes care of tying weights embeddings afterwards if the model class has a tie_weights() method.

Parameters: new_num_tokens (int, optional) – The number of new tokens in the embedding matrix. Increasing the size will add newly initialized vectors at the end. Reducing the size will remove vectors from the end. If not provided or None, just returns a pointer to the input tokens tf.Variable module of the model without doing anything.
Returns: Pointer to the input tokens Embeddings Module of the model.
Return type: tf.Variable

save_pretrained(save_directory, saved_model=False, version=1, push_to_hub=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Save a model and its configuration file to a directory, so that it can be re-loaded using the from_pretrained() class method.

Parameters

save_directory (str) – Directory to which to save. Will be created if it doesn’t exist.
saved_model (bool, optional, defaults to False) – If the model has to be saved in saved model format as well or not.
version (int, optional, defaults to 1) – The version of the saved model. A saved model needs to be versioned in order to be properly loaded by TensorFlow Serving as detailed in the official documentation https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/serving/serving_basic
push_to_hub (bool, optional, defaults to False) –
Whether or not to push your model to the Hugging Face model hub after saving it.

Warning

Using push_to_hub=True will synchronize the repository you are pushing to with save_directory, which requires save_directory to be a local clone of the repo you are pushing to if it’s an existing folder. Pass along temp_dir=True to use a temporary directory instead.
kwargs – Additional key word arguments passed along to the push_to_hub() method.

serving(inputs)[source]¶

FlaxPreTrainedModel¶

class transformers.FlaxPreTrainedModel(config: transformers.configuration_utils.PretrainedConfig, module: flax.linen.module.Module, input_shape: Tuple = (1, 1), seed: int = 0, dtype: numpy.dtype = <class 'jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.float32'>)[source]¶

Base class for all models.

FlaxPreTrainedModel takes care of storing the configuration of the models and handles methods for loading, downloading and saving models.

Class attributes (overridden by derived classes):

config_class (PretrainedConfig) – A subclass of PretrainedConfig to use as configuration class for this model architecture.

base_model_prefix (str) – A string indicating the attribute associated to the base model in derived classes of the same architecture adding modules on top of the base model.

classmethod from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path: Union[str, os.PathLike], dtype: numpy.dtype = <class 'jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.float32'>, *model_args, **kwargs)[source]¶

Instantiate a pretrained flax model from a pre-trained model configuration.

The warning Weights from XXX not initialized from pretrained model means that the weights of XXX do not come pretrained with the rest of the model. It is up to you to train those weights with a downstream fine-tuning task.

The warning Weights from XXX not used in YYY means that the layer XXX is not used by YYY, therefore those weights are discarded.

Parameters

pretrained_model_name_or_path (str or os.PathLike) –
Can be either:
- A string, the model id of a pretrained model hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co. Valid model ids can be located at the root-level, like bert-base-uncased, or namespaced under a user or organization name, like dbmdz/bert-base-german-cased.
- A path to a directory containing model weights saved using save_pretrained(), e.g., ./my_model_directory/.
- A path or url to a pt index checkpoint file (e.g, ./tf_model/model.ckpt.index). In this case, from_pt should be set to True.
model_args (sequence of positional arguments, optional) – All remaining positional arguments will be passed to the underlying model’s __init__ method.
config (Union[PretrainedConfig, str, os.PathLike], optional) –
Can be either:
- an instance of a class derived from PretrainedConfig,
- a string or path valid as input to from_pretrained().
Configuration for the model to use instead of an automatically loaded configuration. Configuration can be automatically loaded when:
- The model is a model provided by the library (loaded with the model id string of a pretrained model).
- The model was saved using save_pretrained() and is reloaded by supplying the save directory.
- The model is loaded by supplying a local directory as pretrained_model_name_or_path and a configuration JSON file named config.json is found in the directory.
cache_dir (Union[str, os.PathLike], optional) – Path to a directory in which a downloaded pretrained model configuration should be cached if the standard cache should not be used.
from_pt (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Load the model weights from a PyTorch checkpoint save file (see docstring of pretrained_model_name_or_path argument).
ignore_mismatched_sizes (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to raise an error if some of the weights from the checkpoint do not have the same size as the weights of the model (if for instance, you are instantiating a model with 10 labels from a checkpoint with 3 labels).
force_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to force the (re-)download of the model weights and configuration files, overriding the cached versions if they exist.
resume_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to delete incompletely received files. Will attempt to resume the download if such a file exists.
proxies (Dict[str, str], `optional) – A dictionary of proxy servers to use by protocol or endpoint, e.g., {'http': 'foo.bar:3128', 'http://hostname': 'foo.bar:4012'}. The proxies are used on each request.
local_files_only (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to only look at local files (i.e., do not try to download the model).
revision (str, optional, defaults to "main") – The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name, a tag name, or a commit id, since we use a git-based system for storing models and other artifacts on huggingface.co, so revision can be any identifier allowed by git.
kwargs (remaining dictionary of keyword arguments, optional) –
Can be used to update the configuration object (after it being loaded) and initiate the model (e.g., output_attentions=True). Behaves differently depending on whether a config is provided or automatically loaded:
- If a configuration is provided with config, **kwargs will be directly passed to the underlying model’s __init__ method (we assume all relevant updates to the configuration have already been done)
- If a configuration is not provided, kwargs will be first passed to the configuration class initialization function (from_pretrained()). Each key of kwargs that corresponds to a configuration attribute will be used to override said attribute with the supplied kwargs value. Remaining keys that do not correspond to any configuration attribute will be passed to the underlying model’s __init__ function.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import BertConfig, FlaxBertModel
>>> # Download model and configuration from huggingface.co and cache.
>>> model = FlaxBertModel.from_pretrained('bert-base-cased')
>>> # Model was saved using `save_pretrained('./test/saved_model/')` (for example purposes, not runnable).
>>> model = FlaxBertModel.from_pretrained('./test/saved_model/')
>>> # Loading from a PyTorch checkpoint file instead of a PyTorch model (slower, for example purposes, not runnable).
>>> config = BertConfig.from_json_file('./pt_model/config.json')
>>> model = FlaxBertModel.from_pretrained('./pt_model/pytorch_model.bin', from_pt=True, config=config)

Generates sequences for models with a language modeling head. The method currently supports greedy decoding, multinomial sampling, beam-search decoding, and beam-search multinomial sampling.

Apart from input_ids and attention_mask, all the arguments below will default to the value of the attribute of the same name inside the PretrainedConfig of the model. The default values indicated are the default values of those config.

Most of these parameters are explained in more detail in this blog post.

Parameters

input_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) – The sequence used as a prompt for the generation. If None the method initializes it with bos_token_id and a batch size of 1.
max_length (int, optional, defaults to model.config.max_length) – The maximum length of the sequence to be generated.
max_new_tokens (int, optional, defaults to None) – The maximum numbers of tokens to generate, ignore the current number of tokens. Use either max_new_tokens or max_length but not both, they serve the same purpose.
min_length (int, optional, defaults to 10) – The minimum length of the sequence to be generated.
do_sample (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to use sampling ; use greedy decoding otherwise.
early_stopping (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether to stop the beam search when at least num_beams sentences are finished per batch or not.
num_beams (int, optional, defaults to 1) – Number of beams for beam search. 1 means no beam search.
temperature (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) – The value used to module the next token probabilities.
top_k (int, optional, defaults to 50) – The number of highest probability vocabulary tokens to keep for top-k-filtering.
top_p (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) – If set to float < 1, only the most probable tokens with probabilities that add up to top_p or higher are kept for generation.
repetition_penalty (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) – The parameter for repetition penalty. 1.0 means no penalty. See this paper for more details.
pad_token_id (int, optional) – The id of the padding token.
bos_token_id (int, optional) – The id of the beginning-of-sequence token.
eos_token_id (int, optional) – The id of the end-of-sequence token.
length_penalty (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) – Exponential penalty to the length. 1.0 means no penalty. Set to values < 1.0 in order to encourage the model to generate shorter sequences, to a value > 1.0 in order to encourage the model to produce longer sequences.
no_repeat_ngram_size (int, optional, defaults to 0) – If set to int > 0, all ngrams of that size can only occur once.
encoder_no_repeat_ngram_size (int, optional, defaults to 0) – If set to int > 0, all ngrams of that size that occur in the encoder_input_ids cannot occur in the decoder_input_ids.
bad_words_ids (List[List[int]], optional) – List of token ids that are not allowed to be generated. In order to get the tokens of the words that should not appear in the generated text, use tokenizer(bad_word, add_prefix_space=True).input_ids.
num_return_sequences (int, optional, defaults to 1) – The number of independently computed returned sequences for each element in the batch.
max_time (float, optional, defaults to None) – The maximum amount of time you allow the computation to run for in seconds. generation will still finish the current pass after allocated time has been passed.
attention_mask (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) – Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values are in [0, 1], 1 for tokens that are not masked, and 0 for masked tokens. If not provided, will default to a tensor the same shape as input_ids that masks the pad token. What are attention masks?

Adapted in part from Facebook’s XLM beam search code.

Apart from input_ids and attention_mask, all the arguments below will default to the value of the attribute of the same name inside the PretrainedConfig of the model. The default values indicated are the default values of those config.

Most of these parameters are explained in more detail in this blog post.

Parameters

If not provided, will default to a tensor the same shape as input_ids that masks the pad token.

What are attention masks?
decoder_start_token_id (int, optional) – If an encoder-decoder model starts decoding with a different token than bos, the id of that token.

generate(input_ids: jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray, max_length: Optional[int] = None, pad_token_id: Optional[int] = None, bos_token_id: Optional[int] = None, eos_token_id: Optional[int] = None, decoder_start_token_id: Optional[int] = None, do_sample: Optional[bool] = None, prng_key: Optional[jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray] = None, top_k: Optional[int] = None, top_p: Optional[float] = None, temperature: Optional[float] = None, num_beams: Optional[int] = None, no_repeat_ngram_size: Optional[int] = None, min_length: Optional[int] = None, forced_bos_token_id: Optional[int] = None, forced_eos_token_id: Optional[int] = None, length_penalty: Optional[float] = None, early_stopping: Optional[bool] = None, trace: bool = True, params: Optional[Dict[str, jax._src.numpy.lax_numpy.ndarray]] = None, **model_kwargs)[source]¶

Generates sequences for models with a language modeling head. The method currently supports greedy decoding, and, multinomial sampling.

Apart from input_ids, all the arguments below will default to the value of the attribute of the same name inside the PretrainedConfig of the model. The default values indicated are the default values of those config.

Most of these parameters are explained in more detail in this blog post.

Parameters

input_ids (jnp.ndarray of shape (batch_size, sequence_length)) – The sequence used as a prompt for the generation.
max_length (int, optional, defaults to 20) – The maximum length of the sequence to be generated.
do_sample (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to use sampling ; use greedy decoding otherwise.
temperature (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) – The value used to module the next token probabilities.
top_k (int, optional, defaults to 50) – The number of highest probability vocabulary tokens to keep for top-k-filtering.
top_p (float, optional, defaults to 1.0) – If set to float < 1, only the most probable tokens with probabilities that add up to top_p or higher are kept for generation.
pad_token_id (int, optional) – The id of the padding token.
bos_token_id (int, optional) – The id of the beginning-of-sequence token.
eos_token_id (int, optional) – The id of the end-of-sequence token.
num_beams (int, optional, defaults to 1) – Number of beams for beam search. 1 means no beam search.
decoder_start_token_id (int, optional) – If an encoder-decoder model starts decoding with a different token than bos, the id of that token.
trace (bool, optional, defaults to True) – Whether to trace generation. Setting trace=False should only be used for debugging and will lead to a considerably slower runtime.
params (Dict[str, jnp.ndarray], optional) – Optionally the model parameters can be passed. Can be useful for parallelized generation.
model_kwargs – Additional model specific kwargs will be forwarded to the forward function of the model.

Returns

ModelOutput.

Examples::

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, FlaxAutoModelForCausalLM

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("distilgpt2")
>>> model = FlaxAutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("distilgpt2")
>>> input_context = "The dog"
>>> # encode input context
>>> input_ids = tokenizer(input_context, return_tensors="np").input_ids
>>> # generate candidates using sampling
>>> outputs = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, max_length=20, top_k=30, do_sample=True)
>>> print("Generated:", tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True))

Pushing to the Hub¶

class transformers.file_utils.PushToHubMixin[source]¶

A Mixin containing the functionality to push a model or tokenizer to the hub.

push_to_hub(repo_path_or_name: Optional[str] = None, repo_url: Optional[str] = None, use_temp_dir: bool = False, commit_message: Optional[str] = None, organization: Optional[str] = None, private: Optional[bool] = None, use_auth_token: Optional[Union[bool, str]] = None) → str[source]¶

Upload the {object_files} to the 🤗 Model Hub while synchronizing a local clone of the repo in repo_path_or_name.

Parameters

repo_path_or_name (str, optional) – Can either be a repository name for your {object} in the Hub or a path to a local folder (in which case the repository will have the name of that local folder). If not specified, will default to the name given by repo_url and a local directory with that name will be created.
repo_url (str, optional) – Specify this in case you want to push to an existing repository in the hub. If unspecified, a new repository will be created in your namespace (unless you specify an organization) with repo_name.
use_temp_dir (bool, optional, defaults to False) – Whether or not to clone the distant repo in a temporary directory or in repo_path_or_name inside the current working directory. This will slow things down if you are making changes in an existing repo since you will need to clone the repo before every push.
commit_message (str, optional) – Message to commit while pushing. Will default to "add {object}".
organization (str, optional) – Organization in which you want to push your {object} (you must be a member of this organization).
private (bool, optional) – Whether or not the repository created should be private (requires a paying subscription).
use_auth_token (bool or str, optional) – The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If True, will use the token generated when running transformers-cli login (stored in huggingface). Will default to True if repo_url is not specified.

Returns

The url of the commit of your {object} in the given repository.

Return type

str

Examples:

from transformers import {object_class}

{object} = {object_class}.from_pretrained("bert-base-cased")

# Push the {object} to your namespace with the name "my-finetuned-bert" and have a local clone in the
# `my-finetuned-bert` folder.
{object}.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert")

# Push the {object} to your namespace with the name "my-finetuned-bert" with no local clone.
{object}.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert", use_temp_dir=True)

# Push the {object} to an organization with the name "my-finetuned-bert" and have a local clone in the
# `my-finetuned-bert` folder.
{object}.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert", organization="huggingface")

# Make a change to an existing repo that has been cloned locally in `my-finetuned-bert`.
{object}.push_to_hub("my-finetuned-bert", repo_url="https://huggingface.co/sgugger/my-finetuned-bert")
