# Mamba-7B
This is a 7B parameter model with the [Mamba](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752) architecture, trained on multiple epochs (1.2T tokens) of the [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) dataset.
Mamba is a state-space model that does not use self-attention unlike the standard transformer architecture. It has shown strong performance on various natural language benchmarks. To date, the largest publicly released pure-Mamba pretrain is [Mamba-2.8B](https://huggingface.co/state-spaces/mamba-2.8b). 
We follow their training recipe and release our version of Mamba-7B.

## Model Details
- **Developed by**: [Toyota Research Institute](https://www.tri.global/our-work/robotics)
- **Model Type**: This is an auto-regressive language model based on the [Mamba](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752) architecture.
- **Dataset**: Trained on 1.2T tokens of [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) 
- **Tokenizer**: `EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b`
- **Library**: [OpenLM](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_lm/)
- **License**: This model is licensed under [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0).

## Usage
This model was trained using [OpenLM](https://github.com/mlfoundations/open_lm/). The weights have been converted to be compatible with HuggingFace.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("tri-ml/mamba-7b-rw")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("tri-ml/mamba-7b-rw").cuda()

inputs = tokenizer(["A beautiful flower"], return_tensors="pt")
gen_kwargs = {"max_length": 128, "top_p": 0.8, "temperature": 0.8, "do_sample": True, "repetition_penalty": 1.1}
output = model.generate(inputs['input_ids'], **gen_kwargs)
output = tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist(), skip_special_tokens=True)
print(output)
# <s> A beautiful flower box made of white rose wood. It is a perfect gift for weddings, birthdays and anniversaries.
# All the roses are from our farm Roses Flanders. Therefor you know that these flowers last much longer than those in store or online!</s>
```


## Performance Evaluation
Our evaluations were done using the [Eleuther LM Eval Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness) repo.

Below we report the performance of Mamba 7B compared to other base models.
