Licensing

To increase accessibility and to support the open-source community, SambaNova is releasing BLOOMChat under a modified version of the Apache 2.0 license, which includes use-based restrictions from BLOOM’s RAIL license. While use-based restrictions are necessarily passed through, there are no blanket restrictions on reuse, distribution, commercialization or adaptation. Please review SambaNova’s BLOOMChat-176B License

Uses

Click to expand

Direct Use

This model is intended for commercial and research use.

Out-of-Scope Use

BLOOMChat should NOT be used for:

Mission-critical applications
Applications that involve the safety of others
Making highly important decisions
Important automated pipelines

This model is still in early development and can be prone to mistakes and hallucinations, there is still room for improvement. This model is intended to provide the community with a multilingual chat LLM baseline.

Recommendations

Users should be made aware of the risks, biases, limitations, and restrictions of the model, which are listed down at the bottom of the page.

How to Get Started with the Model

Click to expand

Loading in model with Huggingface

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v2")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v2", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")

Quick Start Inference on SambaNova's in-house Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU)

The inference code to run the model can be found our github repo. This code requires the SambaFlow SDK to execute. For those interested in running models on RDUs, please feel free to get in touch.

Quick Start Inference on GPU

First create a python virtual environment for these packages

python3 -m venv bloomchat_venv
source bloomchat_venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip

pip install flask flask_api gunicorn pydantic accelerate huggingface_hub>=0.9.0 deepspeed>=0.7.3 deepspeed-mii==0.0.2

And then

pip install transformers==4.27.0

You will see messages like this

ERROR: deepspeed-mii 0.0.2 has requirement transformers==4.21.2, but you'll have transformers 4.27.0 which is incompatible.
Installing collected packages: transformers
  Found existing installation: transformers 4.21.2
    Uninstalling transformers-4.21.2:
      Successfully uninstalled transformers-4.21.2
Successfully installed transformers-4.27.0

Now let's git clone the huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference repo.

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference.git
cd transformers-bloom-inference/

And then you need to modify two files in this transformers-bloom-inference repo:

Modifying inference_server/models/hf_accelerate.py
- This is because for our testing of this repo we used 4 80GB A100 GPUs and would run into memory issues
Modifying inference_server/cli.py
- This is because the model was trained using specific human, bot tags
- Trailing spaces may lead to subpar performance

Some example completions for English

<human>: What does it mean for the Fed to raise or lower interest rates?
<bot>: Lowering interest rates means that banks will be able to borrow from the Federal Reserve at a cheaper rate. This makes it more attractive for banks to borrow money and increase their lending activities, as lowering interest rates makes it more attractive for people to borrow money. This increases the money supply and is typically seen as a stimulus for the economy. Conversely, raising interest rates makes it more expensive for banks to borrow money, which reduces their incentive to lend. This reduces the money supply and is typically seen as a way to slow down the economy and reduce inflation.

<human>: Write an engaging and well-written property listing description for selling a house. Address of the house and some of the details are given to you. Fill in the information gap with hallucinations if needed.

Property Address: 412 Monterey Ave, Capitola, CA 95010
Parking: 3 cars + a finished single car garage
Details:
- open floorplan
- window with views to park/mountains
- Kitchen with shaker cabinetry and white Calcatta quartz counters
<bot>: Welcome to 412 Monterey Ave, Capitola, CA 95010! This beautiful home offers an open floorplan, shaker cabinetry, and a finished single car garage. With its modern design, this house is a sight to behold. The window in the living room provides a view of the park and the mountains, bringing the outdoors in. The Kitchen features white Calcatta quartz counters and is a chef's dream. It is perfect for entertaining with its open layout and plenty of space for dining. Don't miss out on this opportunity to call this house your home!

<human>: What is artificial intelligence? Explain it so an 8 year old will understand.
<bot>: That's a great question. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program or machine that can do things that would normally require human intelligence to do. AI can do things like understand natural language, learn from experience, recognize objects, and make decisions.

<human>: هل العمل نصف دوام فكرة جيدة لمراهقين بين عمر ١٥ و ١٩ عام
<bot>: نعم ، يمكن أن يكون العمل نصف دوام فكرة جيدة للمراهقين بين عمري 15 و 19 عامًا ، حيث يمكنهم من خلالها اكتساب خبرة العمل الأولى وتنمية مهارات العمل المهمة. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يمكن أن يكون العمل نصف دوام فرصة جيدة للمراهقين لتعلم كيفية إدارة الوقت بشكل جيد.
ومع ذلك، من المهم أن تراعي الوظائف التي يتم شغلها خلال نصف الدوام احتياجات المراهقين وتجنب أي ضرر ممكن. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، من المهم أن يكون لدى المراهقين وقت فراغ كافٍ للاسترخاء والتعرف على أقرانهم وتنمية مهاراتهم الأخرى.
بالإضافة إلى ذلك، من المهم أن يدعم الآباء عمل المراهقين، ويشجعونهم على الاستمرار في الدراسة بنجاح، ويقدمون الدعم العاطفي لهم.

<human>: 请向我推荐一部周末看的电影并说明原因。
<bot>: 我推荐的电影是疯狂动物城(Zootopia)。这部电影讲述了一个发生在动物城市里的故事。主人公是一个名叫Judy的兔子警官，她也是一个初来乍到的新人。因为初来乍到，所以她受到了其他动物同事的排挤。不过她并没有气馁，而是用自己的行动证明了自己。在解决 一个一个案子，打击罪犯的同时，她也在这个过程中收获了友情和爱情。这部电影不仅有深刻的教育意义，而且还有好看的动作和搞笑的场面。所以我觉得这是一部很适合周末看的电影。

Finetuning Data

Training Procedure

We trained BLOOMChat-v2 with SambaNova DataScale systems with SambaNova's in-house Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU). We started from BLOOM (176B), an open-source multilingual LLM pretrained by the BigScience group. We then continued pretraining the model on an in-house mix of multilingual text (see the full breakdown above).

We instruction-tune the resulting model on OpenChatKit with each data source subsampled to 100k for one epoch, followed by sixteen epochs over the combined OpenChatKit and Dolly 2.0. All of the code used to prepare the finetuning datasets and the scripts to run finetuning and inference are open-sourced and freely available at sambanova/bloomchat

<human>: {input1 that the user wants from the bot}
<bot>: {response1}</s>
<human>: {input2 that the user wants from the bot}

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Like all LLMs, BLOOMChat has certain limitations:

Hallucination: BLOOMChat may sometimes generate responses that contain plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or irrelevant information.
Code Switching: The model might unintentionally switch between languages or dialects within a single response, affecting the coherence and understandability of the output.
Repetition: BLOOMChat may produce repetitive phrases or sentences, leading to less engaging and informative responses.
Coding and Math: The model's performance in generating accurate code or solving complex mathematical problems may be limited.
Toxicity: BLOOMChat may inadvertently generate responses containing inappropriate or harmful content.
