50
+ ### Description
51
+
52
+ Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
53
+ built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
54
+ They are text-to-text, decoder-only large language models, available in English,
55
+ with open weights, pre-trained variants, and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma
56
+ models are well-suited for a variety of text generation tasks, including
57
+ question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their relatively small size
58
+ makes it possible to deploy them in environments with limited resources such as
59
+ a laptop, desktop or your own cloud infrastructure, democratizing access to
60
+ state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation for everyone.
61
+
62
+ ### Context Length
63
+ Models are trained on a context length of 8192 tokens.
64
+
65
+ ### Usage
66
+
67
+ Below we share some code snippets on how to get quickly started with running the model. First make sure to `pip install -U transformers`, then copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your usecase.
68
+
69
+
70
+ #### Fine-tuning the model
71
+
72
+ You can find fine-tuning scripts and notebook under the [`examples/` directory](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-7b/tree/main/examples) of [`google/gemma-7b`](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-7b) repository. To adapt it to this model, simply change the model-id to `google/gemma-2b`.
73
+ In that repository, we provide:
74
+
75
+ * A script to perform Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) on UltraChat dataset using QLoRA
76
+ * A script to perform SFT using FSDP on TPU devices
77
+ * A notebook that you can run on a free-tier Google Colab instance to perform SFT on English quotes dataset
78
+
79
+
80
+
81
+ #### Running the model on a CPU
82
+
83
+
84
+ ```python
85
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
86
+
87
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b")
88
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b")
89
+
90
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
91
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
92
+
93
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
94
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+
98
+ #### Running the model on a single / multi GPU
99
+
100
+
101
+ ```python
102
+ # pip install accelerate
103
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
104
+
105
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b")
106
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b", device_map="auto")
107
+
108
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
109
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
110
+
111
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
112
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+
116
+ #### Running the model on a GPU using different precisions
117
+
118
+ * _Using `torch.float16`_
119
+
120
+ ```python
121
+ # pip install accelerate
122
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
123
+
124

125
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b", device_map="auto", revision="float16")
126
+
127
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
128
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
129
+
130
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
131
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
132
+ ```
133
+
134
+ * _Using `torch.bfloat16`_
135
+
136

137
+ # pip install accelerate
138
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
139
+
140
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b")
141
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b", device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
142
+
143
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
144
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
145
+
146
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
147
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ #### Quantized Versions through `bitsandbytes`
151
+
152
+ * _Using 8-bit precision (int8)_
153
+
154
+ ```python
155
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
156
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
157
+
158
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
159
+
160
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b")
161
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b", quantization_config=quantization_config)
162
+
163
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
164
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
165
+
166
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
167
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
168
+ ```
169
+
170
+ * _Using 4-bit precision_
171
+
172
+ ```python
173
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
174
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
175
+
176
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
177
+
178
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b")
179
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b", quantization_config=quantization_config)
180
+
181
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
182
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
183
+
184
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
185
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
186
+ ```
187
+
188
+
189
+ #### Other optimizations
190
+
191
+ * _Flash Attention 2_
192
+
193
+ First make sure to install `flash-attn` in your environment `pip install flash-attn`
194
+
195
+ ```diff
196
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
197
+ model_id,
198
+ torch_dtype=torch.float16,
199
+ + attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"
200
+ ).to(0)
201
+ ```
202
+
203
+ ### Inputs and outputs
204
+
205
+ * **Input:** Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be
206
+ summarized.
207
+ * **Output:** Generated English-language text in response to the input, such
208
+ as an answer to a question, or a summary of a document.
209
+
210
+ ## Model Data
211
+
212
+ Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
213
+
214
+ ### Training Dataset
215
+
216
+ These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
217
+ of sources, totaling 6 trillion tokens. Here are the key components:
218
+
219
+ * Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is exposed
220
+ to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. Primarily
221
+ English-language content.
222
+ * Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and patterns of
223
+ programming languages, which improves its ability to generate code or
224
+ understand code-related questions.
225
+ * Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
226
+ reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
227
+
228
+ The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
229
+ language model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and text
230
+ formats.
231
+
232
+ ### Data Preprocessing
233
+
234
+ Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
235
+ data:
236
+
237
+ * CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering was
238
+ applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure the
239
+ exclusion of harmful and illegal content
240
+ * Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models safe and
241
+ reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain personal
242
+ information and other sensitive data from training sets.
243
+ * Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safely in line with
244
+ [our policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11).
245
+
246
+ ## Implementation Information
247
+
248
+ Details about the model internals.
249
+
250
+ ### Hardware
251
+
252
+ Gemma was trained using the latest generation of
253
+ [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)](https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/intro-to-tpu) hardware (TPUv5e).
254
+
255
+ Training large language models requires significant computational power. TPUs,
256
+ designed specifically for matrix operations common in machine learning, offer
257
+ several advantages in this domain:
258
+
259
+ * Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive computations
260
+ involved in training LLMs. They can speed up training considerably compared to
261
+ CPUs.
262
+ * Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, allowing
263
+ for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training. This can
264
+ lead to better model quality.
265
+ * Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable solution for
266
+ handling the growing complexity of large foundation models. You can distribute
267
+ training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more efficient processing.
268
+ * Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more cost-effective
269
+ solution for training large models compared to CPU-based infrastructure,
270
+ especially when considering the time and resources saved due to faster
271
+ training.
272
+ * These advantages are aligned with
273
+ [Google's commitments to operate sustainably](https://sustainability.google/operating-sustainably/).
274
+
275
+ ### Software
276
+
277
+ Training was done using [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax) and [ML Pathways](https://blog.google/technology/ai/introducing-pathways-next-generation-ai-architecture/ml-pathways).
278
+
279
+ JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
280
+ including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models.
281
+
282
+ ML Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
283
+ capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
284
+ [foundation models](https://ai.google/discover/foundation-models/), including large language models like
285
+ these ones.
286
+
287
+ Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
288
+ [paper about the Gemini family of models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11805); "the 'single
289
+ controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
290
+ process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
291
+ development workflow."

+
327
+ Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
328
+
329
+ ### Evaluation Approach
330
+
331
+ Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
332
+ testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
333
+ different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
334
+ models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
335
+ ethics and safety, including:
336
+
337
+ * Text-to-Text Content Safety: Human evaluation on prompts covering safety
338
+ policies including child sexual abuse and exploitation, harassment, violence
339
+ and gore, and hate speech.
340
+ * Text-to-Text Representational Harms: Benchmark against relevant academic
341
+ datasets such as [WinoBias](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06876) and [BBQ Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08193v2).
342
+ * Memorization: Automated evaluation of memorization of training data, including
343
+ the risk of personally identifiable information exposure.
344
+ * Large-scale harm: Tests for "dangerous capabilities," such as chemical,
345
+ biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) risks.
346
+
347
+ ### Evaluation Results
348
+
349
+ The results of ethics and safety evaluations are within acceptable thresholds
350
+ for meeting [internal policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11) for categories such as child
351
+ safety, content safety, representational harms, memorization, large-scale harms.
352
+ On top of robust internal evaluations, the results of well known safety
353
+ benchmarks like BBQ, BOLD, Winogender, Winobias, RealToxicity, and TruthfulQA
354
+ are shown here.
355
+
356
+ **Update**: These numbers reflect the new numbers from the updated v1.1 IT models. For the original v1 numbers, please consult the technical report's appendix for the results.

373
+ ## Usage and Limitations
374
+
375
+ These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
376
+
377
+ ### Intended Usage
378
+
379
+ Open Large Language Models (LLMs) have a wide range of applications across
380
+ various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is not
381
+ comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
382
+ about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
383
+ training and development.
384
+
385
+ * Content Creation and Communication
386
+ * Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text formats
387
+ such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
388
+ * Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces for customer
389
+ service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
390
+ * Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus, research
391
+ papers, or reports.
392
+ * Research and Education
393
+ * Natural Language Processing (NLP) Research: These models can serve as a
394
+ foundation for researchers to experiment with NLP techniques, develop
395
+ algorithms, and contribute to the advancement of the field.
396
+ * Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning experiences,
397
+ aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
398
+ * Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large bodies of text
399
+ by generating summaries or answering questions about specific topics.
400
+
401
+ ### Limitations
402
+
403
+ * Training Data
404
+ * The quality and diversity of the training data significantly influence the
405
+ model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data can lead to
406
+ limitations in the model's responses.
407
+ * The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas the model can
408
+ handle effectively.
409
+ * Context and Task Complexity
410
+ * LLMs are better at tasks that can be framed with clear prompts and
411
+ instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be challenging.
412
+ * A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context provided
413
+ (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a certain point).
414
+ * Language Ambiguity and Nuance
415
+ * Natural language is inherently complex. LLMs might struggle to grasp subtle
416
+ nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
417
+ * Factual Accuracy
418
+ * LLMs generate responses based on information they learned from their
419
+ training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate
420
+ incorrect or outdated factual statements.
421
+ * Common Sense
422
+ * LLMs rely on statistical patterns in language. They might lack the ability
423
+ to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
424
+
425
+ ### Ethical Considerations and Risks
426
+
427
+ The development of large language models (LLMs) raises several ethical concerns.
428
+ In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
429
+
430
+ * Bias and Fairness
431
+ * LLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text data can reflect socio-cultural
432
+ biases embedded in the training material. These models underwent careful
433
+ scrutiny, input data pre-processing described and posterior evaluations
434
+ reported in this card.
435
+ * Misinformation and Misuse
436
+ * LLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading, or harmful.
437
+ * Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
438
+ [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit](http://ai.google.dev/gemma/responsible).
439
+ * Transparency and Accountability:
440
+ * This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
441
+ capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
442
+ * A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to share
443
+ innovation by making LLM technology accessible to developers and researchers
444
+ across the AI ecosystem.
445
+
446
+ Risks identified and mitigations:
447
+
448
+ * Perpetuation of biases: It's encouraged to perform continuous monitoring
449
+ (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of de-biasing
450
+ techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use cases.
451
+ * Generation of harmful content: Mechanisms and guidelines for content safety
452
+ are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and implement
453
+ appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific product policies
454
+ and application use cases.
455
+ * Misuse for malicious purposes: Technical limitations and developer and
456
+ end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of LLMs.
457
+ Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag misuse are
458
+ provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
459
+ [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy).
460
+ * Privacy violations: Models were trained on data filtered for removal of PII
461
+ (Personally Identifiable Information). Developers are encouraged to adhere to
462
+ privacy regulations with privacy-preserving techniques.
463
+
464
+ ### Benefits
465
+
466
+ At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
467
+ large language model implementations designed from the ground up for Responsible
468
+ AI development compared to similarly sized models.
469
+
470
+ Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
471
+ have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
472
+ alternatives.
