## Using SDTT
- We released 3 groups of models:
    1. The **baseline students** distilled with the `kld`, `mse` and `tvd` objectives, distilled from a model trained for 1M steps.
    2. The **students from the scaling experiments**, with sizes `sm`, `md`, `large`, distilled from models trained for 400k steps.
    3. The **teachers from the scaling experiments**, with sizes `sm`, `md`, `large`, before any distillation.
- To load those models, first install our code:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/jdeschena/sdtt.git
cd sdtt
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install flash-attn
pip install --pre torchdata --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu
pip install -e .
```
- You can then import our models, sample and evaluate them:

#### Load the baseline students
```python
from sdtt import load_small_student
student = load_small_student(loss="kld", round=7)  # load the kld student after the last distillation round
student = load_small_student(loss="mse", round=2)  # load the mse student after the second distillation round
student = load_small_student(loss="tvd", round=1)  # load the tvd student after the first distillation round
```

#### Load the students from the scaling experiment
```python
from sdtt import load_scaling_student
student = load_scaling_student(size="sm", round=7)  # load small student after the last distillation round
student = load_scaling_student(size="md", round=1)   # load medium student after the first distillation round
student = load_scaling_student(size="large", round=3)  # load large student after the third distillation round
```

#### Load the teachers from the scaling experiment
```python
from sdtt import load_scaling_teacher
student = load_scaling_student(size="sm",)  # load small teacher
student = load_scaling_student(size="md",)   # load medium teacher
student = load_scaling_student(size="large",)  # load large teacher
```

#### Sample from the pretrained models
```python
from sdtt import load_small_student, load_scaling_student, load_scaling_teacher
import torch

model = load_small_student(loss="kld", round=7)  # load model, see above
model.cuda()  # put model on gpu

# Unconditional generation
tokens = model.sample(
    n_samples=8,
    num_steps=256,
    seq_len=1024,
    verbose=True,
)
# Detokenize
uncond_text = model.tokenizer.batch_decode(tokens)

# Conditional generation, based on a prompt
# Prepare a prompt
prompt = "Today is a great day. The sun is shining,"
prompt_tokens = model.tokenizer(prompt)["input_ids"]
prompt_tokens.insert(0, model.tokenizer.bos_token_id)
prompt_tokens = torch.tensor(prompt_tokens, device="cuda")
prompt_len = len(prompt_tokens)

def project_fn(x):
    # Project the first 10 tokens of all examples to the prompt
    x[:, :prompt_len] = prompt_tokens  
    return x  # Don't forget to return

tokens = model.sample(
    n_samples=8,
    num_steps=256,
    seq_len=1024,
    verbose=True,
    project_fn=project_fn
)

cond_text = model.tokenizer.batch_decode(tokens)
```

## Model Details
Our checkpoints are distilled from [MDLM](https://github.com/kuleshov-group/mdlm) checkpoints. We release small, (169M), medium (424M) and large (863M) checkpoints.
