| from transformers.models.longcat_flash import LongcatFlashConfig | |
| class LongcatFlashNgramConfig(LongcatFlashConfig): | |
| r""" | |
| This is the configuration class to store the configuration of a [`LongcatFlashNgramModel`]. It is used to instantiate | |
| a LongCat Flash model with N-gram enhanced embeddings according to the specified arguments, defining the model architecture. | |
| Configuration objects inherit from [`PretrainedConfig`] and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the | |
| documentation from [`PretrainedConfig`] for more information. | |
| Args: | |
| vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 131072): | |
| Vocabulary size of the LongCat Flash model. Defines the number of different tokens that can be represented by the | |
| `input_ids` passed when calling [`LongcatFlashNgramModel`] | |
| hidden_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 6144): | |
| Dimension of the hidden representations. | |
| num_hidden_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 56): | |
| Number of hidden layers in the Transformer decoder. | |
| num_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 28): | |
| Number of layers, each with 2 sublayers. | |
| 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 from 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 checkout [this | |
| paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13245.pdf). 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 131072): | |
| The maximum sequence length that this model might ever be used with. Typically set this to something large | |
| just in case (e.g., 512 or 1024 or 2048). | |
| initializer_range (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.02): | |
| The standard deviation of the truncated_normal_initializer for initializing all weight matrices. | |
| rms_norm_eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-05): | |
| The epsilon value used by the RMS normalization layers. | |
| 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*): | |
| Padding token id. | |
| bos_token_id (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1): | |
| Beginning of stream token id. | |
| eos_token_id (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 2): | |
| End of stream token id. | |
| tie_word_embeddings (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`): | |
| Whether to tie input and output embeddings. | |
| rope_theta (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 10000000.0): | |
| The base period of the RoPE embeddings. | |
| rope_scaling (`Dict`, *optional*): | |
| Dictionary containing the scaling configuration for the RoPE embeddings. Currently supports two scaling | |
| strategies: linear and dynamic. Their scaling factor must be a float greater than 1. The expected format is | |
| `{"type": strategy name, "factor": scaling factor}`. | |
| attention_bias (`bool`, *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. | |
| ffn_hidden_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 12288): | |
| Dimension of the MLP representations. | |
| q_lora_rank (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1536): | |
| The rank of the query LoRA projection in MLA (Multi-head Latent Attention). | |
| kv_lora_rank (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 512): | |
| The rank of the key-value LoRA projection in MLA. | |
| qk_nope_head_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 128): | |
| The dimension of the non-position encoding part of query/key heads. | |
| qk_rope_head_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 64): | |
| The dimension of the RoPE part of query/key heads. | |
| head_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 64): | |
| Standard dimension of qk heads, unused except for CI. | |
| v_head_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 128): | |
| The dimension of value heads. | |
| qk_head_dim (`int`, *optional*): | |
| The total dimension of query/key heads. If not specified, set to `qk_nope_head_dim + qk_rope_head_dim`. | |
| moe_topk (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 12): | |
| Number of experts to route to for each token in the MoE layer. | |
| n_routed_experts (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 512): | |
| Number of routed experts in the MoE layer. | |
| zero_expert_num (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 256): | |
| Number of zero experts (identity function) to add to the expert pool. | |
| expert_ffn_hidden_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 2048): | |
| Hidden size of individual expert FFN layers. | |
| routed_scaling_factor (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 6.0): | |
| Scaling factor applied to the routing weights. | |
| emb_neighbor_num (`int`, *optional*): | |
| Maximum N-gram length for N-gram embeddings. This parameter determines the context window size for N-gram computation. Higher values capture | |
| longer-range lexical patterns but increase memory usage. | |
| emb_split_num (`int`, *optional*): | |
| Number of hash functions (or splits) to use for N-gram embeddings. Multiple hash functions help improve the quality of N-gram representations. | |
| ngram_vocab_size_ratio (`float`, *optional*): | |
| Ratio multiplier for N-gram vocabulary size relative to the base vocabulary size. The N-gram vocabulary | |
| size is calculated as `vocab_size * ngram_vocab_size_ratio`. | |
| Example: | |
| ```python | |
| >>> from transformers import LongcatFlashNgramModel, LongcatFlashNgramConfig | |
| >>> # Initializing a LongCat Flash N-gram style configuration | |
| >>> configuration = LongcatFlashNgramConfig( | |
| ... emb_neighbor_num=3, | |
| ... emb_split_num=4, | |
| ... ngram_vocab_size_ratio=1.5 | |
| ... ) | |
| >>> # Initializing a model from the configuration | |
| >>> model = LongcatFlashNgramModel(configuration) | |
| >>> # Accessing the model configuration | |
| >>> configuration = model.config | |
