Welcome to the world of OpenELM! This guide will walk you through the setup and usage of the Open Efficient Language Models, providing you with quick and easy instructions to harness this powerful tool in your projects.

What is OpenELM?

OpenELM is a family of efficient language models designed to enhance accuracy through strategic parameter allocation within transformer layers. These models come pretrained using the CoreNet library and include various sizes: 270M, 450M, 1.1B, and 3B parameters. If you’re curious about the datasets involved, they encompass approximately 1.8 trillion tokens sourced from RefinedWeb, PILE, RedPajama, and Dolma v1.6.

Getting Started

To get started with OpenELM, you can generate outputs using a provided example function. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Installation

• Ensure you have Python installed on your machine.
• Clone the repository and install required libraries.

Example Usage

To test the OpenELM model and generate some text, execute the following command:

python generate_openelm.py --model apple/OpenELM-270M-Instruct --hf_access_token [HF_ACCESS_TOKEN] --prompt 'Once upon a time there was' --generate_kwargs repetition_penalty=1.2

This command will prompt the model to generate text starting with “Once upon a time there was.” Don’t forget to replace [HF_ACCESS_TOKEN] with your Hugging Face access token. You can obtain it using this link.

Advanced Features

Speeding Up Inference

You can also speed up inference using the “lookup token speculative generation”. Here’s how:

python generate_openelm.py --model apple/OpenELM-270M-Instruct --hf_access_token [HF_ACCESS_TOKEN] --prompt 'Once upon a time there was' --generate_kwargs repetition_penalty=1.2 prompt_lookup_num_tokens=10

This command adjusts the model’s behavior to look up prompt tokens more efficiently.

Using an Assistive Model

Another exciting feature is utilizing an assistive model for model-wise speculative generation:

python generate_openelm.py --model apple/OpenELM-270M-Instruct --hf_access_token [HF_ACCESS_TOKEN] --prompt 'Once upon a time there was' --generate_kwargs repetition_penalty=1.2 --assistant_model [SMALLER_MODEL]

Replace [SMALLER_MODEL] with the name of a smaller model you want to use as an assistant, which can help provide more accurate outputs.

Understanding Model Results

Performance Metrics

OpenELM models have been evaluated on several standard benchmarks with impressive results. For instance, let’s illustrate the performance of the 270M model:

• ARC-c: 26.45
• HellaSwag: 46.71
• BoolQ: 53.98

If we think of each model size as a chef in a kitchen, smaller models, like our 270M chef, specialize in quick dishes with efficient ingredients while larger chefs can tackle complex recipes but may take longer. The results show how well each chef performs various types of recipes (or tasks) in the culinary game of AI!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while implementing OpenELM, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure you have the correct version of dependencies installed.
• Double-check your Hugging Face access token for any errors.
• Review the dataset licenses if you’re unsure about usage compliance.
• Look at the installation guide again to ensure you haven’t missed any steps.
