Instructions to use microsoft/DialoGPT-medium with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use microsoft/DialoGPT-medium with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="microsoft/DialoGPT-medium")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("microsoft/DialoGPT-medium")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("microsoft/DialoGPT-medium", device_map="auto")
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]:]))

Hello, I am experiencing a similar issue. The following message shows up in between each response:

"A decoder-only architecture is being used, but right-padding was detected! For correct generation results, please set padding_side='left' when initializing the tokenizer."

Technically, I am using a fine-tuned version that I trained using the DialoGPT-large checkpoint, but when I saw this post, I felt it was best to post this here. I have tried adding the padding_side during the fine-tuning training, in the from_pretrained instantiation of the tokenizer in the chatbot, as well as adding it as an argument in the tokenizer.encode method.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
