+
41
+ Summary description and brief definition of inputs and outputs.
42
+
43
+ ### Description
44
+
45
+ Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google,
46
+ built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models.
47
+ They are text-to-text, decoder-only large language models, available in English,
48
+ with open weights, pre-trained variants, and instruction-tuned variants. Gemma
49
+ models are well-suited for a variety of text generation tasks, including
50
+ question answering, summarization, and reasoning. Their relatively small size
51
+ makes it possible to deploy them in environments with limited resources such as
52
+ a laptop, desktop or your own cloud infrastructure, democratizing access to
53
+ state of the art AI models and helping foster innovation for everyone.
54
+
55
+ ### Usage
56
+
57
+ Below we share some code snippets on how to get quickly started with running the model. First make sure to `pip install -U transformers`, then copy the snippet from the section that is relevant for your usecase.
58
+
59
+ #### Running the model on a CPU
60
+
61
+
62
+ ```python
63
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
64
+
65
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
66
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
67
+
68
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
69
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
70
+
71
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
72
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+
76
+ #### Running the model on a single / multi GPU
77
+
78
+
79
+ ```python
80
+ # pip install accelerate
81
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
82
+
83
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
84
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", device_map="auto")
85
+
86
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
87
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
88
+
89
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
90
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+
94
+ #### Running the model on a GPU using different precisions
95
+
96
+ * _Using `torch.float16`_
97
+
98
+ ```python
99
+ # pip install accelerate
100
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
101
+
102
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
103
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.float16)
104
+
105
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
106
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
107
+
108
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
109
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ * _Using `torch.bfloat16`_
113
+
114
+ ```python
115
+ # pip install accelerate
116
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
117
+
118
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
119
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
120
+
121
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
122
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
123
+
124
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
125
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ #### Quantized Versions through `bitsandbytes`
129
+
130
+ * _Using 8-bit precision (int8)_
131
+
132
+ ```python
133
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
134
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
135
+
136
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
137
+
138
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
139
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", quantization_config=quantization_config)
140
+
141
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
142
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
143
+
144
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
145
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ * _Using 4-bit precision_
149
+
150
+ ```python
151
+ # pip install bitsandbytes accelerate
152
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
153
+
154
+ quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_4bit=True)
155
+
156
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it")
157
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("google/gemma-2b-it", quantization_config=quantization_config)
158
+
159
+ input_text = "Write me a poem about Machine Learning."
160
+ input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
161
+
162
+ outputs = model.generate(**input_ids)
163
+ print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+
167
+ #### Other optimizations
168
+
169
+ * _Flash Attention 2_
170
+
171
+ First make sure to install `flash-attn` in your environment `pip install flash-attn`
172
+
173
+ ```diff
174
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
175
+ model_id,
176
+ torch_dtype=torch.float16,
177
+ + attn_implementation="flash_attention_2"
178
+ ).to(0)
179
+ ```
180
+
181
+ ### Chat Template
182
+
183
+ The instruction-tuned models use a chat template that must be adhered to for conversational use.
184
+ The easiest way to apply it is using the tokenizer's built-in chat template, as shown in the following snippet.
185
+
186
+ Let's load the model and apply the chat template to a conversation. In this example, we'll start with a single user interaction:
187
+
188
+ ```py
189
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
190
+ import transformers
191
+ import torch
192
+
193
+ model_id = "gg-hf/gemma-2b-it"
194
+ dtype = torch.bfloat16
195
+
196
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
197
+ model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
198
+ model_id,
199
+ device_map="cuda",
200
+ torch_dtype=dtype,
201
+ )
202
+
203
+ chat = [
204
+ { "role": "user", "content": "Write a hello world program" },
205
+ ]
206
+ prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
207
+ ```
208
+
209
+ At this point, the prompt contains the following text:
210
+
211
+ ```
212
+ <bos><start_of_turn>user
213
+ Write a hello world program<end_of_turn>
214
+ <start_of_turn>model
215
+ ```
216
+
217
+ As you can see, each turn is preceded by a `<start_of_turn>` delimiter and then the role of the entity
218
+ (either `user`, for content supplied by the user, or `model` for LLM responses). Turns finish with
219
+ the `<end_of_turn>` token.
220
+
221
+ You can follow this format to build the prompt manually, if you need to do it without the tokenizer's
222
+ chat template.
223
+
224
+ After the prompt is ready, generation can be performed like this:
225
+
226
+ ```py
227
+ inputs = tokenizer.encode(prompt, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")
228
+ outputs = model.generate(input_ids=inputs.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=150)
229
+ ```
230
+
231
+ ### Inputs and outputs
232
+
233
+ * **Input:** Text string, such as a question, a prompt, or a document to be
234
+ summarized.
235
+ * **Output:** Generated English-language text in response to the input, such
236
+ as an answer to a question, or a summary of a document.
237
+
238
+ ## Model Data
239
+
240
+ Data used for model training and how the data was processed.
241
+
242
+ ### Training Dataset
243
+
244
+ These models were trained on a dataset of text data that includes a wide variety
245
+ of sources, totaling 6 trillion tokens. Here are the key components:
246
+
247
+ * Web Documents: A diverse collection of web text ensures the model is exposed
248
+ to a broad range of linguistic styles, topics, and vocabulary. Primarily
249
+ English-language content.
250
+ * Code: Exposing the model to code helps it to learn the syntax and patterns of
251
+ programming languages, which improves its ability to generate code or
252
+ understand code-related questions.
253
+ * Mathematics: Training on mathematical text helps the model learn logical
254
+ reasoning, symbolic representation, and to address mathematical queries.
255
+
256
+ The combination of these diverse data sources is crucial for training a powerful
257
+ language model that can handle a wide variety of different tasks and text
258
+ formats.
259
+
260
+ ### Data Preprocessing
261
+
262
+ Here are the key data cleaning and filtering methods applied to the training
263
+ data:
264
+
265
+ * CSAM Filtering: Rigorous CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) filtering was
266
+ applied at multiple stages in the data preparation process to ensure the
267
+ exclusion of harmful and illegal content
268
+ * Sensitive Data Filtering: As part of making Gemma pre-trained models safe and
269
+ reliable, automated techniques were used to filter out certain personal
270
+ information and other sensitive data from training sets.
271
+ * Additional methods: Filtering based on content quality and safely in line with
272
+ [our policies](https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/documents/2023_Google_AI_Principles_Progress_Update.pdf#page=11).
273
+
274
+ ## Implementation Information
275
+
276
+ Details about the model internals.
277
+
278
+ ### Hardware
279
+
280
+ Gemma was trained using the latest generation of
281
+ [Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)](https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/intro-to-tpu) hardware (TPUv5e).
282
+
283
+ Training large language models requires significant computational power. TPUs,
284
+ designed specifically for matrix operations common in machine learning, offer
285
+ several advantages in this domain:
286
+
287
+ * Performance: TPUs are specifically designed to handle the massive computations
288
+ involved in training LLMs. They can speed up training considerably compared to
289
+ CPUs.
290
+ * Memory: TPUs often come with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, allowing
291
+ for the handling of large models and batch sizes during training. This can
292
+ lead to better model quality.
293
+ * Scalability: TPU Pods (large clusters of TPUs) provide a scalable solution for
294
+ handling the growing complexity of large foundation models. You can distribute
295
+ training across multiple TPU devices for faster and more efficient processing.
296
+ * Cost-effectiveness: In many scenarios, TPUs can provide a more cost-effective
297
+ solution for training large models compared to CPU-based infrastructure,
298
+ especially when considering the time and resources saved due to faster
299
+ training.
300
+ * These advantages are aligned with
301
+ [Google's commitments to operate sustainably](https://sustainability.google/operating-sustainably/).
302
+
303
+ ### Software
304
+
305
+ Training was done using [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax) and [ML Pathways](https://blog.google/technology/ai/introducing-pathways-next-generation-ai-architecture/ml-pathways).
306
+
307
+ JAX allows researchers to take advantage of the latest generation of hardware,
308
+ including TPUs, for faster and more efficient training of large models.
309
+
310
+ ML Pathways is Google's latest effort to build artificially intelligent systems
311
+ capable of generalizing across multiple tasks. This is specially suitable for
312
+ [foundation models](https://ai.google/discover/foundation-models/), including large language models like
313
+ these ones.
314
+
315
+ Together, JAX and ML Pathways are used as described in the
316
+ [paper about the Gemini family of models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.11805); "the 'single
317
+ controller' programming model of Jax and Pathways allows a single Python
318
+ process to orchestrate the entire training run, dramatically simplifying the
319
+ development workflow."

+ Ethics and safety evaluation approach and results.
356
+
357
+ ### Evaluation Approach
358
+
359
+ Our evaluation methods include structured evaluations and internal red-teaming
360
+ testing of relevant content policies. Red-teaming was conducted by a number of
361
+ different teams, each with different goals and human evaluation metrics. These
362
+ models were evaluated against a number of different categories relevant to
363
+ ethics and safety, including:
364
+
365
+ * Text-to-Text Content Safety: Human evaluation on prompts covering safety
366
+ policies including child sexual abuse and exploitation, harassment, violence
367
+ and gore, and hate speech.
368
+ * Text-to-Text Representational Harms: Benchmark against relevant academic
369
+ datasets such as [WinoBias](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06876) and [BBQ Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.08193v2).
370
+ * Memorization: Automated evaluation of memorization of training data, including
371
+ the risk of personally identifiable information exposure.
372
+ * Large-scale harm: Tests for "dangerous capabilities," such as chemical,
373
+ biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) risks.

+ ## Usage and Limitations
400
+
401
+ These models have certain limitations that users should be aware of.
402
+
403
+ ### Intended Usage
404
+
405
+ Open Large Language Models (LLMs) have a wide range of applications across
406
+ various industries and domains. The following list of potential uses is not
407
+ comprehensive. The purpose of this list is to provide contextual information
408
+ about the possible use-cases that the model creators considered as part of model
409
+ training and development.
410
+
411
+ * Content Creation and Communication
412
+ * Text Generation: These models can be used to generate creative text formats
413
+ such as poems, scripts, code, marketing copy, and email drafts.
414
+ * Chatbots and Conversational AI: Power conversational interfaces for customer
415
+ service, virtual assistants, or interactive applications.
416
+ * Text Summarization: Generate concise summaries of a text corpus, research
417
+ papers, or reports.
418
+ * Research and Education
419
+ * Natural Language Processing (NLP) Research: These models can serve as a
420
+ foundation for researchers to experiment with NLP techniques, develop
421
+ algorithms, and contribute to the advancement of the field.
422
+ * Language Learning Tools: Support interactive language learning experiences,
423
+ aiding in grammar correction or providing writing practice.
424
+ * Knowledge Exploration: Assist researchers in exploring large bodies of text
425
+ by generating summaries or answering questions about specific topics.
426
+
427
+ ### Limitations
428
+
429
+ * Training Data
430
+ * The quality and diversity of the training data significantly influence the
431
+ model's capabilities. Biases or gaps in the training data can lead to
432
+ limitations in the model's responses.
433
+ * The scope of the training dataset determines the subject areas the model can
434
+ handle effectively.
435
+ * Context and Task Complexity
436
+ * LLMs are better at tasks that can be framed with clear prompts and
437
+ instructions. Open-ended or highly complex tasks might be challenging.
438
+ * A model's performance can be influenced by the amount of context provided
439
+ (longer context generally leads to better outputs, up to a certain point).
440
+ * Language Ambiguity and Nuance
441
+ * Natural language is inherently complex. LLMs might struggle to grasp subtle
442
+ nuances, sarcasm, or figurative language.
443
+ * Factual Accuracy
444
+ * LLMs generate responses based on information they learned from their
445
+ training datasets, but they are not knowledge bases. They may generate
446
+ incorrect or outdated factual statements.
447
+ * Common Sense
448
+ * LLMs rely on statistical patterns in language. They might lack the ability
449
+ to apply common sense reasoning in certain situations.
450
+
451
+ ### Ethical Considerations and Risks
452
+
453
+ The development of large language models (LLMs) raises several ethical concerns.
454
+ In creating an open model, we have carefully considered the following:
455
+
456
+ * Bias and Fairness
457
+ * LLMs trained on large-scale, real-world text data can reflect socio-cultural
458
+ biases embedded in the training material. These models underwent careful
459
+ scrutiny, input data pre-processing described and posterior evaluations
460
+ reported in this card.
461
+ * Misinformation and Misuse
462
+ * LLMs can be misused to generate text that is false, misleading, or harmful.
463
+ * Guidelines are provided for responsible use with the model, see the
464
+ [Responsible Generative AI Toolkit](http://ai.google.dev/gemma/responsible).
465
+ * Transparency and Accountability:
466
+ * This model card summarizes details on the models' architecture,
467
+ capabilities, limitations, and evaluation processes.
468
+ * A responsibly developed open model offers the opportunity to share
469
+ innovation by making LLM technology accessible to developers and researchers
470
+ across the AI ecosystem.
471
+
472
+ Risks identified and mitigations:
473
+
474
+ * Perpetuation of biases: It's encouraged to perform continuous monitoring
475
+ (using evaluation metrics, human review) and the exploration of de-biasing
476
+ techniques during model training, fine-tuning, and other use cases.
477
+ * Generation of harmful content: Mechanisms and guidelines for content safety
478
+ are essential. Developers are encouraged to exercise caution and implement
479
+ appropriate content safety safeguards based on their specific product policies
480
+ and application use cases.
481
+ * Misuse for malicious purposes: Technical limitations and developer and
482
+ end-user education can help mitigate against malicious applications of LLMs.
483
+ Educational resources and reporting mechanisms for users to flag misuse are
484
+ provided. Prohibited uses of Gemma models are outlined in the
485
+ [Gemma Prohibited Use Policy](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/prohibited_use_policy).
486
+ * Privacy violations: Models were trained on data filtered for removal of PII
487
+ (Personally Identifiable Information). Developers are encouraged to adhere to
488
+ privacy regulations with privacy-preserving techniques.
489
+
490
+ ### Benefits

+
492
+ At the time of release, this family of models provides high-performance open
493
+ large language model implementations designed from the ground up for Responsible
494
+ AI development compared to similarly sized models.
495
+
496
+ Using the benchmark evaluation metrics described in this document, these models
497
+ have shown to provide superior performance to other, comparably-sized open model
498
