Aria-Base-64K Model Card
This checkpoint is one of base models of Aria, designed for research purposes as well as continue training. Specifically, Aria-Base-64K corresponds to the model checkpoint after the long-context pre-training stage (boxed in purple).
Aria-Base-64K is fine-tuned from Aria-Base-8K.
Aria-Base-64K
- Base Model After Long-Context Pre-training: This model corresponds to the model checkpoint after the long-context pre-training stage, with 33B tokens (21B multimodal, 12B language, 69% in long-form) trained in this stage. This stage lasts 1,000 iterations, with all sequences packed to 65536 with Megatron-LM, with global batch size 512. During this training stage, the learning rate keeps constant at
3.5e-5. - Appropriate for Video and Long-document Fine-tuning: This model is recommended for long-form continue pre-training or fine-tuning, e.g. on video QA datasets or long-document QA datasets. While resource is limited, it is also possible to post-train this model with short instruction tuning datasets and transfer to long-form QA scenarios.
- Understanding on Hundreds of Images: This model is capable of understanding up to 250 high-resolution images or up to 500 mid-resolution images.
- Strong Base Performance on Language and Multimodal Scenarios: This model retains strong base performance as Aria-Base-8K.
- Limited Chat Template Availability: This model is trained with a very low percentage of data (around 3%) re-formatted with the chat template. Hence, it might not be optimal to be directly used with chat templates.
Quick Start
Installation
pip install transformers==4.45.0 accelerate==0.34.1 sentencepiece==0.2.0 torchvision requests torch Pillow
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
# For better inference performance, you can install grouped-gemm, which may take 3-5 minutes to install
pip install grouped_gemm==0.1.6
Inference
You can use the same method as the final Aria model to load this checkpoint. However, as the base model, it might not be able to yield optimal chat performance.

Advanced Inference and Fine-tuning
We provide a codebase for more advanced usage of Aria, including vllm inference, cookbooks, and fine-tuning on custom datasets.
As it shares the same structure with the final model,
you may just replace the rhymes-ai/Aria to this model path for any advanced inference and fine-tuning.
