If you already know Mixtral, xLAM-v0.1 is a significant upgrade and better at many things. For the same number of parameters, the model have been fine-tuned across a wide range of agent tasks and scenarios, all while preserving the capabilities of the original model.

xLAM-v0.1-r represents the version 0.1 of the Large Action Model series, with the "-r" indicating it's tagged for research. This model is compatible with VLLM and FastChat platforms.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xLAM-v0.1-r")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xLAM-v0.1-r", device_map="auto")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

You may need to tune the Temperature setting for different applications. Typically, a lower Temperature is helpful for tasks that require deterministic outcomes. Additionally, for tasks demanding adherence to specific formats or function calls, explicitly including formatting instructions is advisable.

Ethical Considerations

This release is for research purposes only in support of an academic paper. Our models, datasets, and code are not specifically designed or evaluated for all downstream purposes. We strongly recommend users evaluate and address potential concerns related to accuracy, safety, and fairness before deploying this model. We encourage users to consider the common limitations of AI, comply with applicable laws, and leverage best practices when selecting use cases, particularly for high-risk scenarios where errors or misuse could significantly impact people’s lives, rights, or safety. For further guidance on use cases, refer to our AUP and AI AUP.
