# Fauno - Italian LLM 

![image](fauno.drawio.png)

Get ready to meet Fauno -  the Italian language model crafted by the [RSTLess Research Group](https://rstless-lab.netlify.app/) from the Sapienza University of Rome.

The talented research team behind Fauno includes [Andrea Bacciu](https://andreabac3.github.io/), [Dr. Giovanni Trappolini](https://sites.google.com/view/giovannitrappolini), [Andrea Santilli](https://www.santilli.xyz/), and [Professor Fabrizio Silvestri](https://sites.google.com/diag.uniroma1.it/fabriziosilvestri/home).

Fauno represents a cutting-edge development in open-source Italian Large Language Modeling. It's trained on extensive Italian synthetic datasets, encompassing a wide range of fields such as medical data 🩺, technical content from Stack Overflow 💻, Quora discussions 💬, and Alpaca data 🦙 translated into Italian.

Hence, our model is able to answer to your questions in Italian 🙋, fix your buggy code 🐛 and understand a minimum of medical literature 💊.

### Why Fauno?
We started with a model called Baize, named after a legendary creature from Chinese literature. Continuing along this thematic line, we developed our Italian model based on Baize and named it Fauno, inspired by an iconic figure from Roman mythology. This choice underlines the link between the two models, while maintaining a distinctive identity rooted in Italian culture.

## 🔎 Model's details
Fauno is a fine-tuned version of the LoRa weights of [Baize](https://github.com/project-baize/baize-chatbot), that is an improved version of [LLama](https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama).

We translated and cleaned the data of Baize, and then we fine-tuned the 7b model using a single RTX A6000 (48GB of VRAM) with 19 hours for one epoch.

## Model initialization
```python
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM, GenerationConfig
from peft import PeftModel

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained("decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf")
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf",
    load_in_8bit=True,
    device_map="auto",
)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "andreabac3/Fauno-Italian-LLM-7B")
model.eval()
```

## Inference
```python
def evaluate(question: str) -> str:
    prompt = f"The conversation between human and AI assistant.\n[|Human|] {question}.\n[|AI|] "
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
    input_ids = inputs["input_ids"].cuda()
    generation_output = model.generate(
        input_ids=input_ids,
        generation_config=generation_config,
        return_dict_in_generate=True,
        output_scores=True,
        max_new_tokens=256
    )
    output = tokenizer.decode(generation_output.sequences[0]).split("[|AI|]")[1]
    return output

your_question: str = "Qual'è il significato della vita?"
print(evaluate(your_question))
```

### Output 
```
Il senso della vita è una domanda che molte persone hanno cercato di rispondere per secoli.
Alla fine, il senso della vita è soggettivo e varia da persona a persona.
Alcune persone credono che il senso della vita sia trovare la felicità, mentre altre credono che sia raggiungere i propri obiettivi o aiutare gli altri.
Alla fine, il senso della vita è determinato dall'individuo e dai loro valori e credenze.
In definitiva, il senso della vita è qualcosa che ognuno deve trovare da solo.
Non c'è una risposta giusta o sbagliata, poiché ogni persona ha le proprie convinzioni e credenze.
La ricerca del senso della vita può essere un viaggio lungo e difficile, ma vale la pena perseguire.
