SeaLLM-7B-v2.5 - Large Language Models for Southeast Asia

Website    🤗 Tech Memo    🤗 DEMO    Github    Technical Report

🔥[HOT] SeaLLMs project now has a dedicated website - damo-nlp-sg.github.io/SeaLLMs

We introduce SeaLLM-7B-v2.5, the state-of-the-art multilingual LLM for Southeast Asian (SEA) languages 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 🇻🇳 🇮🇩 🇹🇭 🇲🇾 🇰🇭 🇱🇦 🇲🇲 🇵🇭. It is the most significant upgrade since SeaLLM-13B, with half the size, outperforming performance across diverse multilingual tasks, from world knowledge, math reasoning, instruction following, etc.

Highlights

• SeaLLM-7B-v2.5 outperforms GPT-3.5 and achieves 7B SOTA on most multilingual knowledge benchmarks for SEA languages (MMLU, M3Exam & VMLU).
• It achieves 79.0 and 34.9 on GSM8K and MATH, surpassing GPT-3.5 in MATH.

Release and DEMO

What's new since SeaLLM-7B-v2?

• SeaLLM-7B-v2.5 was built on top of Gemma-7b, and underwent large scale SFT and carefully designed alignment.

Usage

IMPORTANT NOTICE for using the model

• <bos> must be at start of prompt, ff your code's tokenizer does not prepend <bos> by default, you MUST prepend into the prompt yourself, otherwise, it would not work!
• Repitition penalty (e.g: in llama.cpp, ollama, LM-studio) must be set to 1 , otherwise will lead to degeneration!

Instruction format

# ! WARNING, if your code's tokenizer does not prepend <bos> by default,
# You MUST prepend <bos> into the prompt yourself, otherwise, it would not work!

prompt = """<|im_start|>system
You are a helpful assistant.<eos>
<|im_start|>user
Hello world<eos>
<|im_start|>assistant
Hi there, how can I help?<eos>"""

# <|im_start|> is not a special token.
# Transformers chat_template should be consistent with vLLM format below.

# ! ENSURE 1 and only 1 bos `<bos>` at the beginning of sequence
print(tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(tokenizer.encode(prompt)))

Using transformers's chat_template

Install the latest transformers (>4.40)

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

device = "cuda" # the device to load the model onto

# use bfloat16 to ensure the best performance.
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("SeaLLMs/SeaLLM-7B-v2.5", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map=device)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("SeaLLMs/SeaLLM-7B-v2.5")

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello world"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi there, how can I help you today?"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Explain general relativity in details."}
]

encodeds = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt", add_generation_prompt=True)
print(tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(encodeds[0]))

model_inputs = encodeds.to(device)
model.to(device)

generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=1000, do_sample=True, pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id)
decoded = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)
print(decoded[0])

Using vLLM

TURN_PREFIX = "<|im_start|>{role}\n"

def seallm_chat_convo_format(conversations, add_assistant_prefix: bool, system_prompt=None):
    # conversations: list of dict with key `role` and `content` (openai format)

        conversations = [{"role": "system", "content": system_prompt}] + conversations
    text = ''
    for turn_id, turn in enumerate(conversations):
        prompt = TURN_TEMPLATE.format(role=turn['role'], content=turn['content'])
        text += prompt
    if add_assistant_prefix:
        prompt = TURN_PREFIX.format(role='assistant')
        text += prompt    
    return text

sparams = SamplingParams(temperature=0.1, max_tokens=1024, stop=['<eos>', '<|im_start|>'])
llm = LLM("SeaLLMs/SeaLLM-7B-v2.5", dtype="bfloat16")

gen = llm.generate(prompt, sampling_params)

print(gen[0].outputs[0].text)

Fine-tuning SeaLLM-7B-v2.5

Should follow the chat format and accurately mask out source tokens. Here is an example.

conversations = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are helful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello world."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hi there, how can I help?"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a joke."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything."},
