How to Use Competitive Programming LLM for Python Language

Aug 1, 2023 | Educational

In this guide, we will explore how to utilize a powerful fine-tuned language model designed for competitive programming in Python. This model leverages advanced techniques to generate code based on problem descriptions and examples. By following the steps outlined below, you can effectively implement this model for your coding challenges.

Setting Up the Environment

First things first, we need to set up our environment. Make sure you have the necessary libraries installed. In particular, we will be using the transformers library for our model.

  • Install the transformers library using pip:
  • pip install transformers

Generating Prompts

Our model requires a well-defined prompt that consists of a problem description along with sample inputs and outputs.

def generate_prompt(description, inputs, outputs):
    text = (Below is a problem description that describes the problem. Write code in Python that appropriately solves the problem.

            ### Description: {description}
            )
    assert len(inputs) == len(outputs)
    c = 1
    for inp, out in zip(inputs, outputs):
        text += (### Input: {inp}
                  ### Output: {out}
                  )
        c += 1
        if c > 2: 
            break
    text += ### Code:
    return text

This function constructs the prompt based on the parameters you provide.

Loading the Model

Next up, we load the pre-trained model and its tokenizer.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# Load the model and tokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('iamtarunpycompetitive-codegen350M-qlora', device_map='auto')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('iamtarunpycompetitive-codegen350M-qlora')

# Set the model to evaluation mode
model.eval()

Generating the Response

Now, let’s write a function to take a text prompt and return the model’s generated response.

def pipe(prompt):
    device = 'cuda'
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors='pt').to(device)
    with torch.no_grad():
        output = model.generate(**inputs,
                                max_length=512,
                                do_sample=True,
                                temperature=0.5,
                                top_p=0.95,
                                repetition_penalty=1.15)
    return tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist(),
                             skip_special_tokens=True,
                             clean_up_tokenization_space=False)

Example Problem

Let’s demonstrate this with a specific example problem. The task is to count possible integers from a given string with conditions.

description = """Mr. Chanek has an integer represented by a string s. Zero or more digits 
have been erased and are denoted by the character _. There are also zero or more digits 
marked by the character X, meaning they're the same digit. Mr. Chanek wants to count 
the number of possible integers s, where s is divisible by 25.""" 

inputs = ['0', '_XX', '_00', '0_25']
outputs = [1, 9, 9, 0]
prompt = generate_prompt(description, inputs, outputs)
print(pipe(prompt))

Understanding the Code Analogy

Think of the model as a chef preparing a unique dish based on a recipe. The generate_prompt function acts as the recipe book, gathering the essential ingredients (description, inputs, and outputs) needed to create the dish (the code). The model (the chef) uses these ingredients to bake the code as if it’s a delicious cake!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during implementation, consider the following:

  • Ensure all libraries are up-to-date and correctly installed.
  • Check if the model path is correct when loading the model and tokenizer.
  • Monitor for any CUDA-related errors, which might require you to switch to CPU.
