If you’re stepping into the realm of coding assistants and looking to leverage the impressive capabilities of the Granite-8B-Code-Instruct model, you’ve landed at the right place! This guide will walk you through how to utilize this powerful tool for generating code and understanding instructions with ease.
Understanding Granite-8B-Code-Instruct
The Granite-8B-Code-Instruct model is a refined version of the Granite-8B-Code-Base, enhanced specifically for handling coding tasks with better instruction-following capabilities. With its roots in robust instruction data, this model excels in logical reasoning and solving coding problems.
Getting Started with Granite-8B-Code-Instruct
To get started, you will need to set up the model. Here’s an analogy to help visualize the process. Think of the model as a high-tech kitchen appliance that can create gourmet meals (in this case, code). Just like you need specific ingredients (data) and a proper recipe (code instructions), you must load the model with the right software configuration and code data to perform efficiently.
Prerequisites
- Ensure you have the latest version of Transformers Library installed.
- Make sure you have access to a Python environment with the necessary packages.
Loading the Model
Here is a sample code that showcases how to initialize the Granite-8B-Code-Instruct model:
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
device = "cuda" # or "cpu"
model_path = "ibm-granite/granite-8b-code-instruct"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
# Load model and set to evaluation mode
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, device_map=device)
model.eval()
# Change input text as desired
chat = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Write a code to find the maximum value in a list of numbers."},
]
chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
# Tokenize the input text
input_tokens = tokenizer(chat, return_tensors="pt")
# Transfer tokenized inputs to the device
for i in input_tokens:
input_tokens[i] = input_tokens[i].to(device)
# Generate output tokens
output = model.generate(**input_tokens, max_new_tokens=100)
# Decode output tokens into text
output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output)
# Loop over the batch to print, in this case the batch size is 1
for i in output:
print(i)
Training Data Insights
The Granite-8B-Code-Instruct model leverages a diverse set of data to train, akin to a chef utilizing various ingredients to create a signature dish. The training data includes:
- Code Commits Datasets: Utilizes filtered code commit data from CommitPackFT.
- Math Datasets: High-quality datasets like MathInstruct and MetaMathQA.
- Code Instruction Datasets: Integrates data from sources like Glaive-Code-Assistant-v3.
- Language Instruction Datasets: High-quality datasets including HelpSteer.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While using the Granite-8B-Code-Instruct model, you may encounter some hiccups. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
- If you face issues related to memory during model loading, ensure you are using a compatible GPU.
- For tokenization errors, double-check that your input structure aligns with the expected format.
- If the model is outputs unexpected results, consider providing few-shot examples to help guide its output.
