Usage
Currently to use this model you can either rely on Hugging Face transformers, vLLM or llama.cpp library.
Inference
Make sure to install the latest version of transformers or vllm, eventually install these packages from source:
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
For vLLM, make sure to install vllm>=0.9.0:
pip install "vllm>=0.9.0"
๐ค transformers
Refer to the snippet below to run H1 models using ๐ค transformers:
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "tiiuae/Falcon-H1-1B-Base"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map="auto"
)
# Perform text generation
vLLM
For vLLM, simply start a server by executing the command below:
# pip install vllm
vllm serve tiiuae/Falcon-H1-1B-Instruct --tensor-parallel-size 2 --data-parallel-size 1
llama.cpp
