+ ## Model Information
43
+
44
+ Summary description and brief definition of inputs and outputs.
45
+
46
+ ### Description
47
+
48
+ Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
49
+ built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
50
+ They are text-to-text, decoder-only large language models, available in English,
51
+ with open weights, pre-trained variants, and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma
52
+ models are well-suited for a variety of text generation tasks, including
53
+ question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their relatively small size
54
+ makes it possible to deploy them in environments with limited resources such as
55
+ a laptop, desktop or your own cloud infrastructure, democratizing access to
56
+ state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation for everyone.
57
+
58
+ ### Usage
59
+
60
+ Below we share some code snippets on how to get quickly started with running the model. First make sure to `pip install -U transformers`, then copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your usecase.
61
+
62
+ #### Running the model on a CPU
63
+
64
+
65
+ ```python
66
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
67
+
68
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
69
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
70
+
71
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
72
+ input_ids = tokenizer(**input_text, return_tensors="pt")
73
+
74
+ outputs = model.generate(input_ids)
75
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+
79
+ #### Running the model on a single / multi GPU
80
+
81
+
82
+ ```python
83
+ # pip install accelerate
84
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
85
+
86
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
87
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", device_map="auto")
88
+
89
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
90
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
91
+
92
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
93
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+
97
+ #### Running the model on a GPU using different precisions
98
+
99
+ * _Using `torch.float16`_
100
+
101
+ ```python
102
+ # pip install accelerate
103
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
104
+
105
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
106
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
107
+
108
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
109
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
110
+
111
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
112
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ * _Using `torch.bfloat16`_
116
+
117
+ ```python
118
+ # pip install accelerate
119
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
120
+
121
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
122
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
123
+
124
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
125
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
126
+
127
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
128
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
129
+ ```
130
+
131
+ #### Quantized Versions through `bitsandbytes`
132
+
133
+ * _Using 8-bit precision (int8)_
134
+
135
+ ```python
136
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
137
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
138
+
139
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
140
+
141
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
142
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", quantization_config=quantization_config)
143
+
144
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
145
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
146
+
147
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
148
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ * _Using 4-bit precision_
152
+
153
+ ```python
154
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
155
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
156
+
157
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
158
+
159
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
160
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", quantization_config=quantization_config)
161
+
162
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
163
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
164
+
165
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
166
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
167
+ ```
168
+
169
+
170
+ #### Other optimizations
171
+
172
+ * _Flash Attention 2_
173
+
174
+ First make sure to install `flash-attn` in your environment `pip install flash-attn`
175
+
176
+ ```diff
177
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
178
+ model_id,
179
+ torch_dtype=torch.float16,
180
+ + attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"
181
+ ).to(0)
182
+ ```
183
+
184
+ ### Chat Template
185
+
186
+ The instruction-tuned models use a chat template that must be adhered to for conversational use.
187
+ The easiest way to apply it is using the tokenizer's built-in chat template, as shown in the following snippet.
188
+
189
+ Let's load the model and apply the chat template to a conversation. In this example, we'll start with a single user interaction:
190
+
191
+ ```py
192
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
193
+ import transformers
194
+ import torch
195
+
196
+ model_id = "gg-hf/gemma-2b-it"
197
+ dtype = torch.bfloat16
198
+
199
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
200
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
201
+ model_id,
202
+ device_map="cuda",
203
+ torch_dtype=dtype,
204
+ )
205
+
206
+ chat = [
207
+ { "role": "user", "content": "Write a hello world program" },
208
+ ]
209
+ prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
210
+ ```
211
+
212
+ At this point, the prompt contains the following text:
213
+
214
+ ```
215
+ <start_of_turn>user
216
+ Write a hello world program<end_of_turn>
217
+ <start_of_turn>model
218
+ ```
219
+
220
+ As you can see, each turn is preceeded by a `<start_of_turn>` delimiter and then the role of the entity
221
+ (either `user`, for content supplied by the user, or `model` for LLM responses). Turns finish with
222
+ the `<end_of_turn>` token.
223
+
224
+ You can follow this format to build the prompt manually, if you need to do it without the tokenizer's
225
+ chat template.
226
+
227
+ After the prompt is ready, generation can be performed like this:
228
+
229
+ ```py
230
+ inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=True, return_tensors="pt")
231
+ outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=150)
232
+ ```
233
+
234
+ ### Inputs and outputs
235
+
236
+ * **Input:** Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be
237
+ summarized.
238
+ * **Output:** Generated English-language text in response to the input, such
239
+ as an answer to a question, or a summary of a document.
240
+
241
+ ## Model Data
242
+
243
+ Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
244
+
245
+ ### Training Dataset
246
+
247
+ These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
248
+ of sources, totaling 6 trillion tokens. Here are the key components:
249
+
250
+ * Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is exposed
251
+ to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. Primarily
252
+ English-language content.
253
+ * Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and patterns of
254
+ programming languages, which improves its ability to generate code or
255
+ understand code-related questions.
256
+ * Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
257
+ reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
258
+
259
+ The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
260
+ language model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and text
261
+ formats.
262
+
263
+ ### Data Preprocessing
264
+
265
+ Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
266
+ data:
267
+
268
+ * CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering was
269
+ applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure the
270
+ exclusion of harmful and illegal content
271
+ * Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models safe and
272
+ reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain personal
273
+ information and other sensitive data from training sets.
274
+ * Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safely in line with
275
+ [our policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11).
276
+
277
+ ## Implementation Information
278
+
279
+ Details about the model internals.
280
+
281
+ ### Hardware
282
+
283
+ Gemma was trained using the latest generation of
284
+ [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)](https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/intro-to-tpu) hardware (TPUv5e).
285
+
286
+ Training large language models requires significant computational power. TPUs,
287
+ designed specifically for matrix operations common in machine learning, offer
288
+ several advantages in this domain:
289
+
290
+ * Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive computations
291
+ involved in training LLMs. They can speed up training considerably compared to
292
+ CPUs.
293
+ * Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, allowing
294
+ for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training. This can
295
+ lead to better model quality.
296
+ * Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable solution for
297
+ handling the growing complexity of large foundation models. You can distribute
298
+ training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more efficient processing.
299
+ * Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more cost-effective
300
+ solution for training large models compared to CPU-based infrastructure,
301
+ especially when considering the time and resources saved due to faster
302
+ training.
303
+ * These advantages are aligned with
304
+ [Google's commitments to operate sustainably](https://sustainability.google/operating-sustainably/).
305
+
306
+ ### Software
307
+
308
+ Training was done using [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax) and [ML Pathways](https://blog.google/technology/ai/introducing-pathways-next-generation-ai-architecture/ml-pathways).
309
+
310
+ JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
311
+ including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models.
312
+
313
+ ML Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
314
+ capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
315
+ [foundation models](https://ai.google/discover/foundation-models/), including large language models like
316
+ these ones.
317
+
318
+ Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
319
+ [paper about the Gemini family of models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11805); "the 'single
320
+ controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
321
+ process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
322
+ development workflow."

358
+ Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
359
+
360
+ ### Evaluation Approach
361
+
362
+ Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
363
+ testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
364
+ different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
365
+ models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
366
+ ethics and safety, including:
367
+
368
+ * Text-to-Text Content Safety: Human evaluation on prompts covering safety
369
+ policies including child sexual abuse and exploitation, harassment, violence
370
+ and gore, and hate speech.
371
+ * Text-to-Text Representational Harms: Benchmark against relevant academic
372
+ datasets such as [WinoBias](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06876) and [BBQ Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08193v2).
373
+ * Memorization: Automated evaluation of memorization of training data, including
374

402
+ ## Usage and Limitations
403
+
404
+ These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
405
+
406
+ ### Intended Usage
407
+
408
+ Open Large Language Models (LLMs) have a wide range of applications across
409
+ various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is not
410
+ comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
411
+ about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
412
+ training and development.
413
+
414
+ * Content Creation and Communication
415
+ * Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text formats
416
+ such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
417
+ * Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces for customer
418
+ service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
419
+ * Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus, research
420
+ papers, or reports.
421
+ * Research and Education
422
+ * Natural Language Processing (NLP) Research: These models can serve as a
423
+ foundation for researchers to experiment with NLP techniques, develop
424
+ algorithms, and contribute to the advancement of the field.
425
+ * Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning experiences,
426
+ aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
427
+ * Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large bodies of text
428
+ by generating summaries or answering questions about specific topics.
429
+
430
+ ### Limitations
431
+
432
+ * Training Data
433
+ * The quality and diversity of the training data significantly influence the
434
+ model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data can lead to
435
+ limitations in the model's responses.
436
+ * The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas the model can
437
+ handle effectively.
438
+ * Context and Task Complexity
439
+ * LLMs are better at tasks that can be framed with clear prompts and
440
+ instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be challenging.
441
+ * A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context provided
442
+ (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a certain point).
443
+ * Language Ambiguity and Nuance
444
+ * Natural language is inherently complex. LLMs might struggle to grasp subtle
445
+ nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
446
+ * Factual Accuracy
447
+ * LLMs generate responses based on information they learned from their
448
+ training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate
449
+ incorrect or outdated factual statements.
450
+ * Common Sense
451
+ * LLMs rely on statistical patterns in language. They might lack the ability
452
+ to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
453
+
454
+ ### Ethical Considerations and Risks
455
+
456
+ The development of large language models (LLMs) raises several ethical concerns.
457
+ In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
458
+
459
+ * Bias and Fairness
460
+ * LLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text data can reflect socio-cultural
461
+ biases embedded in the training material. These models underwent careful
462
+ scrutiny, input data pre-processing described and posterior evaluations
463
+ reported in this card.
464
+ * Misinformation and Misuse
465
+ * LLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading, or harmful.
466
+ * Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
467
+ [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit](http://ai.google.dev/gemma/responsible).
468
+ * Transparency and Accountability:
469
+ * This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
470
+ capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
471
+ * A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to share
472
+ innovation by making LLM technology accessible to developers and researchers
473
+ across the AI ecosystem.
474
+
475
+ Risks identified and mitigations:
476
+
477
+ * Perpetuation of biases: It's encouraged to perform continuous monitoring
478
+ (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of de-biasing
479
+ techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use cases.
480
+ * Generation of harmful content: Mechanisms and guidelines for content safety
481
+ are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and implement
482
+ appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific product policies
483
+ and application use cases.
484
+ * Misuse for malicious purposes: Technical limitations and developer and
485
+ end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of LLMs.
486
+ Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag misuse are
487
+ provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
488
+ [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy).
489
+ * Privacy violations: Models were trained on data filtered for removal of PII
490
+ (Personally Identifiable Information). Developers are encouraged to adhere to
491
+ privacy regulations with privacy-preserving techniques.
492
+
493
+ ### Benefits
494
+
495
+ At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
496
+ large language model implementations designed from the ground up for Responsible
497
+ AI development compared to similarly sized models.
498
+
499
+ Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
500
+ have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
501
+ alternatives.
