Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence powered by Llama3-Chinese! In this blog post, we’ll take you through the process of downloading, merging, and using the Llama3-Chinese model. We aim to explain everything clearly and concisely, so even if you’re new to this field, you’ll find it easy to follow along.

What is Llama3-Chinese?

Llama3-Chinese is a large language model specially trained using 500,000 high-quality Chinese multi-turn SFT data, 100,000 English multi-turn SFT data, and 2,000 single-turn self-cognition data. The training methods utilized are DORA and LORA+, based on the Meta-Llama-3-8B as its foundation. It’s like having a multilingual library at your fingertips, designed for intelligent conversations.

Downloading the Model

To get started, you need to download the model. Below are the options available for downloading:

• Meta-Llama-3-8B:
  • HuggingFace
  • ModelScope
• Llama3-Chinese-Lora:
  • HuggingFace
  • ModelScope
• Llama3-Chinese (merged model):
  • HuggingFace
  • ModelScope

Merging the LORA Model (Optional)

If you wish to merge the LORA model, follow these steps:

1. Download Meta-Llama-3-8B using:

bash
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/LLM-Research/Meta-Llama-3-8B.git

2. Download Llama3-Chinese-Lora using:

bash
git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/seanzhang/Llama3-Chinese-Lora.git

3. Merge the model:

bash
python merge_lora.py --base_model path/to/Meta-Llama-3-8B --lora_model path/to/lora/Llama3-Chinese-Lora --output_dir .Llama3-Chinese

Loading the Model for Inference

Once you’ve downloaded and merged the models (if applicable), you can proceed to load them for inference:

python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "zhichen/Llama3-Chinese"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype='auto', device_map='auto')

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": ""},
]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=2048, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.95)
response = outputs[0][input_ids.shape[-1]:]
print(tokenizer.decode(response, skip_special_tokens=True))

Using Command-Line Interface (CLI) and Web Demo

You can also use the CLI demo:

bash
python cli_demo.py --model_path "zhichen/Llama3-Chinese"

For a web demo, run:

bash
python web_demo.py --model_path "zhichen/Llama3-Chinese"

Troubleshooting

While using the Llama3-Chinese model, you might encounter some issues. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that all dependencies are installed, including Git and Git LFS for handling large models.
• If you face issues running the model, check if the model path is correct in your commands.
• For any runtime errors, reviewing logs can help pinpoint issues related to memory or configuration.
