StableLM-Base-Alpha

📢 DISCLAIMER: The StableLM-Base-Alpha models have been superseded. Find the latest versions in the Stable LM Collection here.

Model Description

StableLM-Base-Alpha is a suite of 3B and 7B parameter decoder-only language models pre-trained on a diverse collection of English datasets with a sequence length of 4096 to push beyond the context window limitations of existing open-source language models.

Usage

Get started generating text with StableLM-Base-Alpha by using the following code snippet:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("StabilityAI/stablelm-base-alpha-7b")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("StabilityAI/stablelm-base-alpha-7b")
model.half().cuda()

inputs = tokenizer("What's your mood today?", return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
tokens = model.generate(
  **inputs,
  max_new_tokens=64,
  temperature=0.7,
  do_sample=True,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Model Details

  • Developed by: Stability AI

  • Model type: StableLM-Base-Alpha models are auto-regressive language models based on the NeoX transformer architecture.

  • Language(s): English

  • Library: GPT-NeoX

  • License: Base model checkpoints (StableLM-Base-Alpha) are licensed under the Creative Commons license (CC BY-SA-4.0). Under the license, you must give credit to Stability AI, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the Stability AI endorses you or your use.

Training

Parameters Hidden Size Layers Heads Sequence Length
3B 4096 16 32 4096
7B 6144 16 48 4096

Training Dataset

StableLM-Base-Alpha is pre-trained on a new experimental dataset built atop The Pile and is threes times larger at approximately 1.5T tokens.

Training Procedure

Models are pre-trained on the aforementioned dataset in mixed-precision (FP16), optimized with Adam, and trained using the NeoX tokenizer with a vocabulary size of 50,257. We outline the complete hyperparameters choices in the project's GitHub repository.

Use and Limitations

Intended Use

These models are intended to be used by all individuals as foundational models for application-specific fine-tuning without strict limitations on commercial use.

Limitations and bias

The pre-training dataset may have contained offensive or inappropriate content even after applying data cleansing filters which can be reflected in the model generated text. We recommend users exercise reasonable caution when using these models in production systems. Do not use the models for any applications that may cause harm or distress to individuals or groups.
