Instructions to use google/gemma-2-27b-it with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use google/gemma-2-27b-it with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="google/gemma-2-27b-it")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2-27b-it")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2-27b-it")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Great work! 🤗 It's always nice to see Google's commitment to make large models more open and accessible.

By the way, the Citation section's URL seems to be a redirect to the original Gemma model's page on Kaggle:

https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/gemma

If I understand correctly, Gemma-2 is published on a different page:

https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/gemma-2

Thanks for looking into this!
