The Jais-7b-chat model is an innovative double quantized version of the Jais-13b-chat designed by Core42. It comes as a boon for those with GPU-poor machines, enabling the running of sophisticated text generation tasks efficiently. While this model provides impressive capabilities, for high-quality tasks, it’s always advisable to run the non-quantized Jais-13b model. In this article, we’ll take you through the steps required to run the Jais-7b-chat model, just like how you would plan a road trip — from building your itinerary to hitting the road and enjoying the journey!

System Requirements

Before embarking on your journey with Jais-7b-chat, you need to make sure your vehicle is in shape. In our case, this means having the proper system requirements. The model has been tested successfully on a Google Colab Pro T4 instance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Run the Model

Now let’s prepare our trip by following the key steps required for getting the Jais-7b-chat model up and running:

• Step 1: Install Required Libraries

  Just as you would pack your bags for a journey, you’ll need to install essential libraries to ensure a smooth ride:

  !pip install -Uq huggingface_hub transformers bitsandbytes xformers accelerate

• Step 2: Create the Pipeline

  Next, we set up our navigation system. Here, you’ll create the pipeline to get the model ready to explore:

  from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, pipeline, TextStreamer, BitsAndBytesConfig
  
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("erfanvaredi/jais-7b-chat")
  model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
      "erfanvaredi/jais-7b-chat",
      trust_remote_code=True,
      device_map="auto",
  )
  
  # Create a pipeline
  pipe = pipeline(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, task="text-generation")

• Step 3: Create a Prompt

  Every journey needs a destination. In this case, create a prompt that you want the model to respond to:

  chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a funny joke about Large Language Models."}]
  prompt = pipe.tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)

• Step 4: Create a Streamer (Optional)

  If you prefer to enjoy the ride with streaming text outputs, set up a streamer. It’s like having a music playlist for your journey:

  streamer = TextStreamer(
      tokenizer,
      skip_prompt=True,
      stop_token=[tokenizer.eos_token]
  )

• Step 5: Ask the Model

  Now that you’re ready to roll, go ahead and ask the Jais-7b-chat model your prompt:

  pipe(
      prompt,
      streamer=streamer,
      max_new_tokens=256,
      temperature=0
  )

Troubleshooting Tips

While navigating through your AI journey, you may encounter a few bumps on the road. Here are some troubleshooting ideas to consider:

• If you experience installation issues, ensure that you are in the correct environment, such as Google Colab’s Pro instance.
• If the model does not respond as expected, revisit your prompt to make sure it is clear and concise—much like ensuring your GPS coordinates are set correctly.
• If you get errors relating to memory, you might want to reduce the max_new_tokens or temperature.
