Uses

The model is intended for commercial and research use in English and can be fine-tuned for use in other languages.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

# pip install -q transformers

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

checkpoint = "Deci/DeciLM-6b-instruct"
device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True).to(device)

inputs = tokenizer.encode("How do I make french toast? Think through it step by step", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, top_p=0.95)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Training Details

DeciLM 6B underwent training utilizing the SlimPijamas dataset, leveraging advanced proprietary methodologies allowing for fast training. DeciLM 6B was further finetuned on a subset of the OpenOrca dataset, giving rise to DeciLM-6B-Instruct.
