Title: Long Sequence Modeling with XGen: A 7B LLM Trained on 8K Input Sequence Length

Models

Base models

XGen-7B-4K-Base: XGen-7B model pre-trained under 4K sequence length.

Instruction-finetuned models

Supervised finetuned model on public domain instructional data. Released for research purpose only.

XGen-7B-8K-Inst

How to run

The training data for the models are tokenized with OpenAI Tiktoken library. To use this model, install the package via pip:

pip install tiktoken

The models can be used as auto-regressive samplers as follows:

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xgen-7b-8k-inst", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xgen-7b-8k-inst", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
inputs = tokenizer("The world is", return_tensors="pt")
sample = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(sample[0]))
