# Model Card for Zamba 7B
Zamba-7B-v1 is a hybrid model between Mamba, a state-space model, and transformers. It uses a mamba backbone with a shared transformer layer every 6 blocks. Zamba was trained using next-token prediction. It uses the Mistral v0.1 tokenizer. We came to this architecture after a series of ablations at small scales. Zamba-7B-v1 was pre-trained on 1T tokens of text and code data sourced from open web-datasets. Subsequently in a second phase, Zamba was annealed on a mixture of 50B high-quality tokens.
Note: the current Huggingface implementation of Zamba performs slower than our internal implementation. We are working to fix this with the Huggingface team.
## Quick start
### Presequities
To download Zamba, clone Zyphra's fork of transformers:
1. `git clone https://github.com/Zyphra/transformers_zamba`
2. `cd transformers_zamba`
3. Install the repository: `pip install -e .`
In order to run optimized Mamba implementations on a CUDA device, you need to install `mamba-ssm` and `causal-conv1d`:
```bash
pip install mamba-ssm causal-conv1d>=1.2.0
```
You can run the model without using the optimized Mamba kernels, but it is **not** recommended as it will result in significantly higher latency.
To run on CPU, please specify `use_mamba_kernels=False` when loading the model using ``AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained``.
### Inference
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Zyphra/Zamba-7B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Zyphra/Zamba-7B-v1", device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
input_text = "A funny prompt would be "
input_ids = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
outputs = model.generate(**input_ids, max_new_tokens=100)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
## Notice
Zamba is a pretrained base model and therefore does not have any moderation mechanism. In addition, one should not expect good chat performance, as this model was not fine-tuned for chat.
