Generation

Each framework has a generate method for text generation implemented in their respective GenerationMixin class:

PyTorch generate() is implemented in GenerationMixin.
TensorFlow generate() is implemented in TFGenerationMixin.
Flax/JAX generate() is implemented in FlaxGenerationMixin.

Regardless of your framework of choice, you can parameterize the generate method with a GenerationConfig class instance. Please refer to this class for the complete list of generation parameters, which control the behavior of the generation method.

To learn how to inspect a model’s generation configuration, what are the defaults, how to change the parameters ad hoc, and how to create and save a customized generation configuration, refer to the text generation strategies guide. The guide also explains how to use related features, like token streaming.

GenerationConfig

class transformers.GenerationConfig

( **kwargs )

from_pretrained

( pretrained_model_name: Union config_file_name: Union = None cache_dir: Union = None force_download: bool = False local_files_only: bool = False token: Union = None revision: str = 'main' **kwargs ) → GenerationConfig

Parameters

pretrained_model_name (str or os.PathLike) — This can be either:
- a string, the model id of a pretrained model configuration hosted inside a model repo on huggingface.co.
- a path to a directory containing a configuration file saved using the save_pretrained() method, e.g., ./my_model_directory/.
config_file_name (str or os.PathLike, optional, defaults to "generation_config.json") — Name of the generation configuration JSON file to be loaded from pretrained_model_name.
cache_dir (str or 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.
force_download (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to force to (re-)download the configuration files and override the cached versions if they exist. resume_download — Deprecated and ignored. All downloads are now resumed by default when possible. Will be removed in v5 of Transformers.
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.
token (str or bool, optional) — The token to use as HTTP bearer authorization for remote files. If True, or not specified, will use the token generated when running huggingface-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.

To test a pull request you made on the Hub, you can pass `revision=“refs/pr/“.
return_unused_kwargs (bool, optional, defaults to False) — If False, then this function returns just the final configuration object.

If True, then this functions returns a Tuple(config, unused_kwargs) where unused_kwargs is a dictionary consisting of the key/value pairs whose keys are not configuration attributes: i.e., the part of kwargs which has not been used to update config and is otherwise ignored.
subfolder (str, optional, defaults to "") — In case the relevant files are located inside a subfolder of the model repo on huggingface.co, you can specify the folder name here.
kwargs (Dict[str, Any], optional) — The values in kwargs of any keys which are configuration attributes will be used to override the loaded values. Behavior concerning key/value pairs whose keys are not configuration attributes is controlled by the return_unused_kwargs keyword parameter.

Returns

GenerationConfig

The configuration object instantiated from this pretrained model.

Instantiate a GenerationConfig from a generation configuration file.

Examples:

>>> from transformers import GenerationConfig

>>> # Download configuration from huggingface.co and cache.
>>> generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("openai-community/gpt2")

>>> # E.g. config was saved using *save_pretrained('./test/saved_model/')*
>>> generation_config.save_pretrained("./test/saved_model/")
>>> generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("./test/saved_model/")

>>> # You can also specify configuration names to your generation configuration file
>>> generation_config.save_pretrained("./test/saved_model/", config_file_name="my_configuration.json")
>>> generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("./test/saved_model/", "my_configuration.json")

>>> # If you'd like to try a minor variation to an existing configuration, you can also pass generation
>>> # arguments to `.from_pretrained()`. Be mindful that typos and unused arguments will be ignored
>>> generation_config, unused_kwargs = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained(
...     "openai-community/gpt2", top_k=1, foo=False, do_sample=True, return_unused_kwargs=True
... )
>>> generation_config.top_k
1

>>> unused_kwargs
{'foo': False}

from_model_config

( model_config: PretrainedConfig ) → GenerationConfig

Parameters

model_config (PretrainedConfig) — The model config that will be used to instantiate the generation config.

Returns

GenerationConfig

The configuration object instantiated from those parameters.

Instantiates a GenerationConfig from a PretrainedConfig. This function is useful to convert legacy PretrainedConfig objects, which may contain generation parameters, into a stand-alone GenerationConfig.

save_pretrained

( save_directory: Union config_file_name: Union = None push_to_hub: bool = False **kwargs )

Parameters

save_directory (str or os.PathLike) — Directory where the configuration JSON file will be saved (will be created if it does not exist).
config_file_name (str or os.PathLike, optional, defaults to "generation_config.json") — Name of the generation configuration JSON file to be saved in save_directory.
push_to_hub (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether or not to push your model to the Hugging Face model hub after saving it. You can specify the repository you want to push to with repo_id (will default to the name of save_directory in your namespace).
kwargs (Dict[str, Any], optional) — Additional key word arguments passed along to the push_to_hub() method.

Save a generation configuration object to the directory save_directory, so that it can be re-loaded using the from_pretrained() class method.

update

( **kwargs ) → Dict[str, Any]

Parameters

kwargs (Dict[str, Any]) — Dictionary of attributes to tentatively update this class.

Returns

Dict[str, Any]

Dictionary containing all the key-value pairs that were not used to update the instance.

Updates attributes of this class instance with attributes from kwargs if they match existing attributes, returning all the unused kwargs.

validate

( is_init = False )

Parameters

is_init (bool, optional, defaults to False) — Whether the validation is performed during the initialization of the instance.

Validates the values of the attributes of the GenerationConfig instance. Raises exceptions in the presence of parameterization that can be detected as incorrect from the configuration instance alone.

Note that some parameters not validated here are best validated at generate runtime, as they may depend on other inputs and/or the model, such as parameters related to the generation length.

get_generation_mode

( assistant_model: Optional = None ) → GenerationMode

Parameters

assistant_model (PreTrainedModel, optional) — The assistant model to be used for assisted generation. If set, the generation mode will be assisted generation.

Returns

GenerationMode

The generation mode triggered by the instance.

Returns the generation mode triggered by the GenerationConfig instance.

class transformers.WatermarkingConfig

( greenlist_ratio: Optional = 0.25 bias: Optional = 2.0 hashing_key: Optional = 15485863 seeding_scheme: Optional = 'lefthash' context_width: Optional = 1 )

Class that holds arguments for watermark generation and should be passed into GenerationConfig during generate. See this paper for more details on the arguments.

Accepts the following keys:

greenlist_ratio (float): Used for watermarking. The ratio of “green” tokens used to the vocabulary size. Defaults to 0.25.
bias (float): Used with watermarking. The bias added to the selected “green” tokens’ logits. Defaults to 2.0.
hashing_key (int): Hashing key used for watermarking. Defaults to 15485863 (the millionth prime).
seeding_scheme (str): Algorithm to use for watermarking. Accepts values:
- “lefthash” (default): “green” tokens selection depend on the last token (Algorithm 2 from the paper)
- “selfhash”: “green” tokens selection depends on the current token itself (Algorithm 3 from the paper) The downside of this scheme is that it considers all possible next tokens and can be slower than “lefthash”.
context_width(int): The context length of previous tokens to use in seeding. Higher context length makes watermarking more robust.

from_dict

( config_dict **kwargs ) → WatermarkingConfig

Parameters

config_dict (Dict[str, Any]) — Dictionary containing configuration parameters. **kwargs — Additional keyword arguments to override dictionary values.

Returns

WatermarkingConfig

Instance of WatermarkingConfig constructed from the dictionary.

Constructs a WatermarkingConfig instance from a dictionary of parameters.

to_dict

( ) → Dict[str, Any]

Returns

Dict[str, Any]

Dictionary of all the attributes that make up this configuration instance.

Serializes this instance to a Python dictionary.

to_json_file

( json_file_path: Union )

Parameters

json_file_path (Union[str, os.PathLike]) — Path to the JSON file in which this configuration instance’s parameters will be saved.

Save this instance to a JSON file.

to_json_string

( ) → str

Returns

str

JSON formatted string representing the configuration instance.

Serializes this instance to a JSON formatted string.

update

( **kwargs )

Update the configuration attributes with new values.

GenerationMixin

class transformers.GenerationMixin

( )

A class containing all functions for auto-regressive text generation, to be used as a mixin in PreTrainedModel.

The class exposes generate(), which can be used for:

greedy decoding if num_beams=1 and do_sample=False
contrastive search if penalty_alpha>0 and top_k>1
multinomial sampling if num_beams=1 and do_sample=True
beam-search decoding if num_beams>1 and do_sample=False
beam-search multinomial sampling if num_beams>1 and do_sample=True
diverse beam-search decoding if num_beams>1 and num_beam_groups>1
constrained beam-search decoding if constraints!=None or force_words_ids!=None
assisted decoding if assistant_model or prompt_lookup_num_tokens is passed to .generate()

To learn more about decoding strategies refer to the text generation strategies guide.

generate

( inputs: Optional = None generation_config: Optional = None logits_processor: Optional = None stopping_criteria: Optional = None prefix_allowed_tokens_fn: Optional = None synced_gpus: Optional = None assistant_model: Optional = None streamer: Optional = None negative_prompt_ids: Optional = None negative_prompt_attention_mask: Optional = None **kwargs ) → ModelOutput or torch.LongTensor

Parameters

inputs (torch.Tensor of varying shape depending on the modality, optional) — The sequence used as a prompt for the generation or as model inputs to the encoder. If None the method initializes it with bos_token_id and a batch size of 1. For decoder-only models inputs should be in the format of input_ids. For encoder-decoder models inputs can represent any of input_ids, input_values, input_features, or pixel_values.
generation_config (GenerationConfig, optional) — The generation configuration to be used as base parametrization for the generation call. **kwargs passed to generate matching the attributes of generation_config will override them. If generation_config is not provided, the default will be used, which has the following loading priority: 1) from the generation_config.json model file, if it exists; 2) from the model configuration. Please note that unspecified parameters will inherit GenerationConfig’s default values, whose documentation should be checked to parameterize generation.
logits_processor (LogitsProcessorList, optional) — Custom logits processors that complement the default logits processors built from arguments and generation config. If a logit processor is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. This feature is intended for advanced users.
stopping_criteria (StoppingCriteriaList, optional) — Custom stopping criteria that complements the default stopping criteria built from arguments and a generation config. If a stopping criteria is passed that is already created with the arguments or a generation config an error is thrown. If your stopping criteria depends on the scores input, make sure you pass return_dict_in_generate=True, output_scores=True to generate. This feature is intended for advanced users.
prefix_allowed_tokens_fn (Callable[[int, torch.Tensor], List[int]], optional) — If provided, this function constraints the beam search to allowed tokens only at each step. If not provided no constraint is applied. This function takes 2 arguments: the batch ID batch_id and input_ids. It has to return a list with the allowed tokens for the next generation step conditioned on the batch ID batch_id and the previously generated tokens inputs_ids. This argument is useful for constrained generation conditioned on the prefix, as described in Autoregressive Entity Retrieval.
synced_gpus (bool, optional) — Whether to continue running the while loop until max_length. Unless overridden this flag will be set to True under DeepSpeed ZeRO Stage 3 multiple GPUs environment to avoid hanging if one GPU finished generating before other GPUs. Otherwise it’ll be set to False.
assistant_model (PreTrainedModel, optional) — An assistant model that can be used to accelerate generation. The assistant model must have the exact same tokenizer. The acceleration is achieved when forecasting candidate tokens with the assistent model is much faster than running generation with the model you’re calling generate from. As such, the assistant model should be much smaller.
streamer (BaseStreamer, optional) — Streamer object that will be used to stream the generated sequences. Generated tokens are passed through streamer.put(token_ids) and the streamer is responsible for any further processing.
negative_prompt_ids (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — The negative prompt needed for some processors such as CFG. The batch size must match the input batch size. This is an experimental feature, subject to breaking API changes in future versions.
negative_prompt_attention_mask (torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size, sequence_length), optional) — Attention_mask for negative_prompt_ids.
kwargs (Dict[str, Any], optional) — Ad hoc parametrization of generation_config and/or additional model-specific kwargs that will be forwarded to the forward function of the model. If the model is an encoder-decoder model, encoder specific kwargs should not be prefixed and decoder specific kwargs should be prefixed with decoder_.

Returns

ModelOutput or torch.LongTensor

A ModelOutput (if return_dict_in_generate=True or when config.return_dict_in_generate=True) or a torch.LongTensor.

If the model is not an encoder-decoder model (model.config.is_encoder_decoder=False), the possible ModelOutput types are:

If the model is an encoder-decoder model (model.config.is_encoder_decoder=True), the possible ModelOutput types are:

Generates sequences of token ids for models with a language modeling head.

Most generation-controlling parameters are set in generation_config which, if not passed, will be set to the model’s default generation configuration. You can override any generation_config by passing the corresponding parameters to generate(), e.g. .generate(inputs, num_beams=4, do_sample=True).

For an overview of generation strategies and code examples, check out the following guide.

compute_transition_scores

( sequences: Tensor scores: Tuple beam_indices: Optional = None normalize_logits: bool = False ) → torch.Tensor

Parameters

scores (tuple(torch.FloatTensor)) — Transition scores for each vocabulary token at each generation step. Beam transition scores consisting of log probabilities of tokens conditioned on log softmax of previously generated tokens in this beam. Tuple of torch.FloatTensor with up to max_new_tokens elements (one element for each generated token), with each tensor of shape (batch_size*num_beams, config.vocab_size).
beam_indices (torch.LongTensor, optional) — Beam indices of generated token id at each generation step. torch.LongTensor of shape (batch_size*num_return_sequences, sequence_length). Only required if a num_beams>1 at generate-time.
