Models
Base models

Instruction-finetuned models
Supervised finetuned model on public domain instructional data. Released for research purpose only.
How to run
The training data for the models are tokenized with OpenAI Tiktoken library.
To use this model, install the package via pip:
pip install tiktoken
The models can be used as auto-regressive samplers as follows:
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xgen-7b-8k-base", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xgen-7b-8k-base", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
inputs = tokenizer("The world is", return_tensors="pt")
sample = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=128)
print(tokenizer.decode(sample[0]))
