# Cohere

Cohere [Command-R](https://cohere.com/blog/command-r) is a 35B parameter multilingual large language model designed for long context tasks like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and calling external APIs and tools. The model is specifically trained for grounded generation and supports both single-step and multi-step tool use. It supports a context length of 128K tokens.

You can find all the original Command-R checkpoints under the [Command Models](https://huggingface.co/collections/CohereForAI/command-models-67652b401665205e17b192ad) collection.

> [!TIP]
> Click on the Cohere models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply Cohere to different language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text with [Pipeline](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/pipelines#transformers.Pipeline) or the [AutoModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel), and from the command line.

```python
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="text-generation",
    model="CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0
)
pipeline("Plants create energy through a process known as")
```

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", attn_implementation="sdpa")

# format message with the Command-R chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How do plants make energy?"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.3,
    cache_implementation="static",
)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

```bash
# pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation
transformers chat CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01 --dtype auto --attn_implementation flash_attention_2
```

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the [Quantization](../quantization/overview) overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses [bitsandbytes](../quantization/bitsandbytes) to quantize the weights to 4-bits.

```python
import torch
from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig, AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

bnb_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01", dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", quantization_config=bnb_config, attn_implementation="sdpa")

# format message with the Command-R chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How do plants make energy?"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(
    input_ids,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.3,
    cache_implementation="static",
)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

Use the [AttentionMaskVisualizer](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/beb9b5b02246b9b7ee81ddf938f93f44cfeaad19/src/transformers/utils/attention_visualizer.py#L139) to better understand what tokens the model can and cannot attend to.

```py
from transformers.utils.attention_visualizer import AttentionMaskVisualizer

visualizer = AttentionMaskVisualizer("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
visualizer("Plants create energy through a process known as")
```

    

## Notes

- Don't use the dtype parameter in [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoModel.from_pretrained) if you're using FlashAttention-2 because it only supports fp16 or bf16. You should use [Automatic Mixed Precision](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/recipes/recipes/amp_recipe.html), set fp16 or bf16 to True if using [Trainer](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/trainer#transformers.Trainer), or use [torch.autocast](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/amp.html#torch.autocast).

## CohereConfig[[transformers.CohereConfig]]

#### transformers.CohereConfig[[transformers.CohereConfig]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/vr_37082/src/transformers/models/cohere/configuration_cohere.py#L32)

This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [CohereModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereModel). It is used to instantiate an Cohere
model according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture.

Configuration objects inherit from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
documentation from [PreTrainedConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/configuration#transformers.PreTrainedConfig) for more information. Instantiating a configuration
with the defaults will yield a similar configuration to that of the [CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01](https://huggingface.co/CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01) model.

```python
>>> from transformers import CohereModel, CohereConfig

>>> # Initializing a Cohere model configuration
>>> configuration = CohereConfig()

>>> # Initializing a model from the Cohere configuration
>>> model = CohereModel(configuration)
>>> # Accessing the model configuration
>>> configuration = model.config
```

**Parameters:**

vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 256000) : Vocabulary size of the Cohere model. Defines the number of different tokens that can be represented by the `inputs_ids` passed when calling [CohereModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereModel)

hidden_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 8192) : Dimension of the hidden representations.

intermediate_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 22528) : Dimension of the MLP representations.

num_attention_heads (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 64) : Number of attention heads for each attention layer in the Transformer decoder.

num_key_value_heads (`int`, *optional*) : This is the number of key_value heads that should be used to implement Grouped Query Attention. If `num_key_value_heads=num_attention_heads`, the model will use Multi Head Attention (MHA), if `num_key_value_heads=1` the model will use Multi Query Attention (MQA) otherwise GQA is used. When converting a multi-head checkpoint to a GQA checkpoint, each group key and value head should be constructed by meanpooling all the original heads within that group. For more details, check out [this paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2305.13245). If it is not specified, will default to `num_attention_heads`.

hidden_act (`str` or `function`, *optional*, defaults to `"silu"`) : The non-linear activation function (function or string) in the decoder.

max_position_embeddings (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 8192) : The maximum sequence length that this model might ever be used with.

initializer_range (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.02) : The standard deviation of the truncated_normal_initializer for initializing all weight matrices.

layer_norm_eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-05) : The epsilon used by the layer normalization.

use_cache (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) : Whether or not the model should return the last key/values attentions (not used by all models). Only relevant if `config.is_decoder=True`.

pad_token_id (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 0) : Padding token id.

bos_token_id (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 5) : Beginning of stream token id.

rope_parameters (`RopeParameters`, *optional*) : Dictionary containing the configuration parameters for the RoPE embeddings. The dictionaty should contain a value for `rope_theta` and optionally parameters used for scaling in case you want to use RoPE with longer `max_position_embeddings`.

attention_bias (`bool`, defaults to `False`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) : Whether to use a bias in the query, key, value and output projection layers during self-attention.

attention_dropout (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0) : The dropout ratio for the attention probabilities.

use_qk_norm (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) : Whether to use query-key normalization in the attention

## CohereTokenizerFast[[transformers.CohereTokenizerFast]]

#### transformers.CohereTokenizerFast[[transformers.CohereTokenizerFast]]

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/vr_37082/src/transformers/models/cohere/tokenization_cohere_fast.py#L46)

Construct a Cohere tokenizer. Based on byte-level Byte-Pair-Encoding.

This uses notably ByteFallback and NFC normalization.

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer

>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
>>> tokenizer.encode("Hello this is a test")
[5, 28339, 2075, 1801, 1671, 3282]
```

If you want to change the `bos_token` or the `eos_token`, make sure to specify them when initializing the model, or
call `tokenizer.update_post_processor()` to make sure that the post-processing is correctly done (otherwise the
values of the first token and final token of an encoded sequence will not be correct). For more details, checkout
[post-processors] (https://huggingface.co/docs/tokenizers/api/post-processors) documentation.

You can get around that behavior by passing `add_prefix_space=True` when instantiating this tokenizer, but since
the model was not pretrained this way, it might yield a decrease in performance.

When used with `is_split_into_words=True`, this tokenizer needs to be instantiated with `add_prefix_space=True`.

This tokenizer inherits from [PreTrainedTokenizerFast](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/tokenizer#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerFast) which contains most of the main methods. Users should
refer to this superclass for more information regarding those methods.

tokenizer_file (`str`, *optional*) : [tokenizers](https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers) file (generally has a .json extension) that contains everything needed to load the tokenizer.

clean_up_tokenization_spaces (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`) : Whether or not to cleanup spaces after decoding, cleanup consists in removing potential artifacts like extra spaces.

unk_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, *optional*, defaults to `""`) : The unknown token. A token that is not in the vocabulary cannot be converted to an ID and is set to be this token instead.

bos_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, *optional*, defaults to `""`) : The beginning of sequence token that was used during pretraining. Can be used a sequence classifier token.

eos_token (`str` or `tokenizers.AddedToken`, *optional*, defaults to `""`) : The end of sequence token.

add_bos_token (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) : Whether or not to add an `bos_token` at the start of sequences.

The bare Cohere Model outputting raw hidden-states without any specific head on top.

This model inherits from [PreTrainedModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel). Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the
library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.

forwardtransformers.CohereModel.forwardhttps://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/vr_37082/src/transformers/models/cohere/modeling_cohere.py#L406[{"name": "input_ids", "val": ": typing.Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None"}, {"name": "attention_mask", "val": ": typing.Optional[torch.Tensor] = None"}, {"name": "position_ids", "val": ": typing.Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None"}, {"name": "past_key_values", "val": ": typing.Optional[transformers.cache_utils.Cache] = None"}, {"name": "inputs_embeds", "val": ": typing.Optional[torch.FloatTensor] = None"}, {"name": "cache_position", "val": ": typing.Optional[torch.LongTensor] = None"}, {"name": "use_cache", "val": ": typing.Optional[bool] = None"}, {"name": "**kwargs", "val": ": typing_extensions.Unpack[transformers.utils.generic.TransformersKwargs]"}]- **input_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of input sequence tokens in the vocabulary. Padding will be ignored by default.

  Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids)
- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).0[transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPast) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.BaseModelOutputWithPast) or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([CohereConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereConfig)) and inputs.

- **last_hidden_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) -- Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

  If `past_key_values` is used only the last hidden-state of the sequences of shape `(batch_size, 1,
  hidden_size)` is output.
- **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and optionally if
  `config.is_encoder_decoder=True` in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values`
  input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.
The [CohereModel](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

**Parameters:**

config ([CohereConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereConfig)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration.

- **last_hidden_state** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`) -- Sequence of hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the model.

  If `past_key_values` is used only the last hidden-state of the sequences of shape `(batch_size, 1,
  hidden_size)` is output.
- **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance.

  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`.

  [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids)
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **output_attentions** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the attentions tensors of all attention layers. See `attentions` under returned
  tensors for more detail.
- **output_hidden_states** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the hidden states of all layers. See `hidden_states` under returned tensors for
  more detail.
- **cache_position** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices depicting the position of the input sequence tokens in the sequence. Contrarily to `position_ids`,
  this tensor is not affected by padding. It is used to update the cache in the correct position and to infer
  the complete sequence length.
- **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, defaults to `0`) --
  If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all
  `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that
  token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.
  If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension.
  This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0[transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.CausalLMOutputWithPast) or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([CohereConfig](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereConfig)) and inputs.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
- **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.

The [CohereForCausalLM](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereForCausalLM) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

Example:

```python
>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, CohereForCausalLM

>> model = CohereForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")
>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CohereForAI/c4ai-command-r-v01")

>> prompt = "Hey, are you conscious? Can you talk to me?"
>> inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")

>> # Generate
>> generate_ids = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, max_length=30)
>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0]
"Hey, are you conscious? Can you talk to me?\nI'm not conscious, but I can talk to you."
```

**Parameters:**

config ([CohereForCausalLM](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/model_doc/cohere#transformers.CohereForCausalLM)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model. Initializing with a config file does not load the weights associated with the model, only the configuration. Check out the [from_pretrained()](/docs/transformers/pr_37082/en/main_classes/model#transformers.PreTrainedModel.from_pretrained) method to load the model weights.
