## TL;DR
Below is the description from the [original repository](https://github.com/BlinkDL/RWKV-LM)
> RWKV is an RNN with transformer-level LLM performance. It can be directly trained like a GPT (parallelizable). It's combining the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, fast inference, saves VRAM, fast training, "infinite" ctx_len, and free sentence embedding.
## Model Details
The details of the architecture can be found on the blogpost mentioned above and the Hugging Face blogpost of the integration.
## Usage
### Convert the raw weights to the HF format
You can use the [`convert_rwkv_checkpoint_to_hf.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/src/transformers/models/rwkv/convert_rwkv_checkpoint_to_hf.py) script by specifying the repo_id of the original weights, the filename and the output directory. You can also optionally directly push the converted model on the Hub by passing `--push_to_hub` flag and `--model_name` argument to specify where to push the converted weights.
```bash
python convert_rwkv_checkpoint_to_hf.py --repo_id RAW_HUB_REPO --checkpoint_file RAW_FILE --output_dir OUTPUT_DIR --push_to_hub --model_name dummy_user/converted-rwkv
```
### Generate text
You can use the `AutoModelForCausalLM` and `AutoTokenizer` classes to generate texts from the model. Expand the sections below to understand how to run the model in different scenarios:
### Running the model on a CPU
Click to expand
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile")
prompt = "\nIn a shocking finding, scientist discovered a herd of dragons living in a remote, previously unexplored valley, in Tibet. Even more surprising to the researchers was the fact that the dragons spoke perfect Chinese."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
output = model.generate(inputs["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True))
```
### Running the model on a single GPU
Click to expand
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile").to(0)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile")
prompt = "\nIn a shocking finding, scientist discovered a herd of dragons living in a remote, previously unexplored valley, in Tibet. Even more surprising to the researchers was the fact that the dragons spoke perfect Chinese."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(0)
output = model.generate(inputs["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True))
```
### Running the model in half-precision, on GPU
Click to expand
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to(0)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile")
prompt = "\nIn a shocking finding, scientist discovered a herd of dragons living in a remote, previously unexplored valley, in Tibet. Even more surprising to the researchers was the fact that the dragons spoke perfect Chinese."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(0)
output = model.generate(inputs["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True))
```
### Running the model multiple GPUs
Click to expand
```python
# pip install accelerate
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RWKV/rwkv-4-169m-pile")
prompt = "\nIn a shocking finding, scientist discovered a herd of dragons living in a remote, previously unexplored valley, in Tibet. Even more surprising to the researchers was the fact that the dragons spoke perfect Chinese."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(0)
output = model.generate(inputs["input_ids"], max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True))
```
