The Swallow model, a remarkable product from the Llama 2 family, has been fine-tuned specifically to enhance its performance in Japanese language tasks. This guide will walk you through understanding its architecture, setup, and practical usage steps.

Understanding the Swallow Model

Imagine you have a library filled with books in different languages. Each section of this library (like Japanese, English, etc.) contains books crafted with unique vocabulary and narrative styles. The Swallow model is like a librarian who not only knows where each book can be found but also speaks multiple languages fluently. It makes connections between languages, providing richer, more context-aware responses.

Installation and Setup

To get started with the Swallow model, you need to set up your environment properly.

• First, ensure you have Python and pip installed on your machine.
• Clone the repository with the Swallow model.
• Navigate to the project directory and install the necessary dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Using the Model for Text Generation

Once installation is complete, you can leverage the model for various tasks. Here’s how to use both the instruct model and the base model for generating text:

Using the Instruct Model

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Swallow-7b-instruct-hf"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="auto")
PROMPT_DICT = {
    "prompt_input": ("以下に、あるタスクを説明する指示があり、それに付随する入力が更なる文脈を提供しています。\n"
                     "リクエストを適切に完了するための回答を記述してください。\n"
                     "### 指示:\n{instruction}\n### 入力:\n{input}\n### 応答:"),
    "prompt_no_input": ("以下に、あるタスクを説明する指示があります。\n"
                        "リクエストを適切に完了するための回答を記述してください。\n"
                        "### 指示:\n{instruction}\n### 応答:")
}

def create_prompt(instruction, input=None):
    if input:
        return PROMPT_DICT["prompt_input"].format(instruction=instruction, input=input)
    else:
        return PROMPT_DICT["prompt_no_input"].format(instruction=instruction)

# Example usage
instruction_example = "以下のトピックに関する詳細な情報を提供してください。"
input_example = "東京工業大学の主なキャンパスについて教えてください"
prompt = create_prompt(instruction_example, input_example)
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
tokens = model.generate(input_ids.to(device=model.device), max_new_tokens=128, temperature=0.99, top_p=0.95, do_sample=True)
out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)

Using the Base Model

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Swallow-7b-hf"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")

prompt = "東京工業大学の主なキャンパスは、"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
tokens = model.generate(input_ids.to(device=model.device), max_new_tokens=128, temperature=0.99, top_p=0.95, do_sample=True)
out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While using the Swallow Model, you may encounter some challenges. Here are a few common issues and their fixes:

• Model not found: Make sure the model name is typed correctly and matches the available models on the platform.
• Out of memory errors: If you’re running into memory issues, try reducing the batch size or using a model variant with fewer parameters.
• Installation issues: Ensure that all dependencies from requirements.txt are installed properly. You can reinstall them if needed.
