# K2-Chat: a fully-reproducible large language model outperforming Llama 2 70B Chat using 35% less compute

K2 Chat is finetuned from [K2-65B](https://huggingface.co/LLM360/K2). K2 Chat outperforms Llama 2-70B-Chat on all evaluations conducted. The model also outperforms Llama 3-70B-Instruct on coding tasks.

## LLM360 Model Performance and Evaluation Collection
The LLM360 Performance and Evaluation Collection is a robust evaluations set consisting of general and domain specific evaluations to assess model knowledge and function.

Evaluations include standard best practice benchmarks, medical, math, and coding knowledge. More about the evaluations can be found here.

## Loading K2-Chat
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LLM360/K2-Chat")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LLM360/K2-Chat")

prompt = '<|beginofuser|>what is the highest mountain on earth?<|beginofsystem|>'

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").input_ids
gen_tokens = model.generate(input_ids, do_sample=True, max_new_tokens=128)

print("-"*20 + "Output for model"  + 20 * '-')
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens)[0])
```
Alternatively, you can construct the prompt by applying the chat template of tokenizer on input conversation:
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("LLM360/K2-Chat")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("LLM360/K2-Chat")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "what is the highest mountain on earth?"}]

input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
gen_tokens = model.generate(input_ids, do_sample=True, max_new_tokens=128)

print("-"*20 + "Output for model"  + 20 * '-')
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(gen_tokens)[0])
```
