🚀 Hugging Face Transformers Conversion of Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct
The Mixtral-8x7B is a pretrained generative Sparse Mixture of Experts large language model. It outperforms Llama 2 70B on most tested benchmarks, offering high - performance language processing capabilities.
🚀 Quick Start
The Mixtral-8x7B Large Language Model (LLM) is a powerful pretrained generative Sparse Mixture of Experts. To understand its full potential, please read our release blog post.
✨ Features
- High - performance: Outperforms Llama 2 70B on most benchmarks.
- Instruction - following: Can follow specific instruction formats for better output.
⚠️ Warning
This repo contains weights that are compatible with vLLM serving of the model as well as Hugging Face transformers library. It is based on the original Mixtral torrent release, but the file format and parameter names are different. Please note that the model cannot (yet) be instantiated with HF.
📚 Documentation
Instruction format
This format must be strictly respected, otherwise the model will generate sub - optimal outputs.
The template used to build a prompt for the Instruct model is defined as follows:
<s> [INST] Instruction [/INST] Model answer</s> [INST] Follow - up instruction [/INST]
Note that <s>
and </s>
are special tokens for beginning of string (BOS) and end of string (EOS) while [INST] and [/INST] are regular strings.
As reference, here is the pseudo - code used to tokenize instructions during fine - tuning:
def tokenize(text):
return tok.encode(text, add_special_tokens=False)
[BOS_ID] +
tokenize("[INST]") + tokenize(USER_MESSAGE_1) + tokenize("[/INST]") +
tokenize(BOT_MESSAGE_1) + [EOS_ID] +
…
tokenize("[INST]") + tokenize(USER_MESSAGE_N) + tokenize("[/INST]") +
tokenize(BOT_MESSAGE_N) + [EOS_ID]
In the pseudo - code above, note that the tokenize
method should not add a BOS or EOS token automatically, but should add a prefix space.
💻 Usage Examples
Basic Usage
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
text = "Hello my name is"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=20)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

🔧 Technical Details
The Mixtral-8x7B Instruct model is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine - tuned to achieve compelling performance. However, it does not have any moderation mechanisms. The Mistral AI Team is looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.
📄 License
The model is released under the apache - 2.0 license.
