🌍 Vulture-40B

Vulture-40B is a further fine-tuned causal Decoder-only LLM built by Virtual Interactive (VILM), on top of the famous Falcon-40B by TII. We collected a new dataset from news articles and Wikipedia's pages of 12 languages (Total: 80GB) and continue the pretraining process of Falcon-40B. Finally, we construct a multilingual instructional dataset following Alpaca's techniques.

Acknowledgement

• Thanks to TII for the amazing Falcon as the foundation model.

Out-of-Scope Use

Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Vulture-40B is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.

Recommendations

We recommend users of Vulture-40B to consider finetuning it for the specific set of tasks of interest, and for guardrails and appropriate precautions to be taken for any production use.

How to Get Started with the Model

To run inference with the model in full bfloat16 precision you need approximately 4xA100 80GB or equivalent.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import transformers
import torch

model = "vilm/vulture-40B"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
m = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto" )

prompt = "A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant.\n\nUSER:Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh nằm ở đâu?<|endoftext|>ASSISTANT:"

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

output = m.generate(input_ids=inputs["input_ids"],
                    attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"],
                    do_sample=True,
                    temperature=0.6,
                    top_p=0.9,
                    max_new_tokens=50,)
output = output[0].to("cpu")
print(tokenizer.decode(output))
