# BLOOMChat V1.0

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

BLOOMChat is [BigScience Group BLOOM model](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom) instruction-tuned on a subset of 100k datapoints per data source from the [OIG dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/laion/OIG) from the [OpenChatKit](https://www.together.xyz/blog/openchatkit). Then aligned using [Dolly 2.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/databricks/databricks-dolly-15k) and [Oasst1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1).

## How to Get Started with the Model

<details>
<summary>Click to expand</summary>

Use the code below to get started with the model.

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1", device_map="auto", torch_dtype="auto")
```

### Tutorial on using the model for text generation

[This tutorial](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference) from Huggingface will be the base layer for running our model. The tutorial is intended for BLOOM; however, since our model is based off of BLOOM we can repurpose it.

For setup instructions follow the Huggingface tutorial.

NOTE: Things that we had to modify in order for BLOOMChat to work:
- Install transformers version 4.27.0
    - `pip install transformers==4.27.0`
- Change the model name from `bigscience/bloom` to `sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1`
- 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

Modifications for `inference_server/models/hf_accelerate.py`:

```python
from accelerate.utils.modeling import get_max_memory
...
class HFAccelerateModel(Model):
    def __init__(self, args: Namespace) -> None:
        ...
        original_max_memory_dict = get_max_memory()

        reduce_max_memory_dict = {device_key: int(original_max_memory_dict[device_key] * 0.85) for device_key in original_max_memory_dict}

        kwargs["max_memory"] = reduce_max_memory_dict
```

Running command for int8 (sub optimal performance, but fast inference time):
```
python -m inference_server.cli --model_name sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1 --model_class AutoModelForCausalLM --dtype int8 --deployment_framework hf_accelerate --generate_kwargs '{"do_sample": false, "temperature": 0.8, "repetition_penalty": 1.2, "top_p": 0.9, "max_new_tokens": 512}'
```
Running command for bf16
```
python -m inference_server.cli --model_name sambanovasystems/BLOOMChat-176B-v1 --model_class AutoModelForCausalLM --dtype bf16 --deployment_framework hf_accelerate --generate_kwargs '{"do_sample": false, "temperature": 0.8, "repetition_penalty": 1.2, "top_p": 0.9, "max_new_tokens": 512}'
```
**DISCLAIMER:** When using int8, the results will be subpar compared to bf16 as the model is being [quantized](https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-bitsandbytes-integration#introduction-to-model-quantization). 

### Suggested Inference Parameters
- Temperature: 0.8
- Repetition penalty: 1.2
- Top-p: 0.9
- Max generated tokens: 512

## Some example completions

<details>

```
<human>: What does it mean for the Fed to raise or lower interest rates?
<bot>: The Federal Reserve (also known as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States.  It was created in 1913, and is an independent agency of the federal government.  The Fed has a dual mandate of maximizing employment and stabilizing prices.  The Fed sets interest rates, and can influence the money supply and the credit markets through its actions.

Raising interest rates means that the Fed is trying to reduce the money supply in the economy, and is trying to discourage borrowing and encourage saving.  Lowering interest rates means that the Fed is trying to stimulate economic growth by encouraging borrowing and reducing the cost of credit.

The Fed raises or lowers interest rates in order to influence the economy and achieve its goals for employment and price stability.  Interest rates are one of the primary tools that the Fed uses to achieve its goals.
```

```
<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>: This home at 412 Monterey Ave, Capitola, CA 95010 is the perfect place to call home. With its open floor plan, it provides the perfect space for entertaining guests. The kitchen is equipped with shaker cabinetry and white Calcatta quartz counters, providing the perfect space to create culinary masterpieces. The window with views to the park and mountains provide a beautiful view of the outdoors, making this home feel like a piece of paradise. The three-car garage and finished single car garage provide ample parking space, making this home a must-see for anyone looking for a new home.

```

```
<human>: What is artificial intelligence? Explain it so an 8 year old will understand.
<bot>: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program or machine that can do things that would normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, making decisions, and learning from experience. AI can be found in many places, such as self-driving cars, smartphones, and even robots. AI is used to make things easier for people, like when your smartphone can translate text into another language or when your voice-controlled speaker can play music for you.
AI works by using algorithms and big data to learn and improve over time. For example, self-driving cars use AI to analyze the environment around them and make decisions about how to drive. The car gathers data from its sensors, processes it using algorithms, and adjusts its behavior accordingly. This process is called machine learning.
AI is still a developing technology, and there are still many things that AI programs cannot do yet. However, as AI continues to evolve, it is likely that it will become more and more capable of performing tasks that were once thought to require human intelligence.

1. In any way that violates any applicable national, federal, state, local or international law or regulation;
2. For the purpose of exploiting, harming or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way;
3. To generate or disseminate verifiably false information with the purpose of harming others;
4. To generate or disseminate personal identifiable information that can be used to harm an individual;

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical 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.
