X-ALMA builds upon ALMA-R by expanding support from 6 to 50 languages. It utilizes a plug-and-play architecture with language-specific modules, complemented by a carefully designed training recipe. This release includes the X-ALMA pre-trained base model.

A quick start:

There are three ways to load X-ALMA for translation. An example of translating "我爱机器翻译。" into English (X-ALMA should also able to do multilingual open-ended QA).

The first way: loading the merged model where the language-specific module has been merged into the base model (Recommended):

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

GROUP2LANG = {
1: ["da", "nl", "de", "is", "no", "sv", "af"],
2: ["ca", "ro", "gl", "it", "pt", "es"],
3: ["bg", "mk", "sr", "uk", "ru"],
4: ["id", "ms", "th", "vi", "mg", "fr"],
5: ["hu", "el", "cs", "pl", "lt", "lv"],
6: ["ka", "zh", "ja", "ko", "fi", "et"],
7: ["gu", "hi", "mr", "ne", "ur"],
8: ["az", "kk", "ky", "tr", "uz", "ar", "he", "fa"],
}
LANG2GROUP = {lang: str(group) for group, langs in GROUP2LANG.items() for lang in langs}
group_id = LANG2GROUP["zh"]

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(f"haoranxu/X-ALMA-13B-Group{group_id}", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(f"haoranxu/X-ALMA-13B-Group{group_id}", padding_side='left')

# Add the source sentence into the prompt template
prompt="Translate this from Chinese to English:\nChinese: 我爱机器翻译。\nEnglish:"

# X-ALMA needs chat template but ALMA and ALMA-R don't need it.
chat_style_prompt = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat_style_prompt, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)

input_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, max_length=40, truncation=True).input_ids.cuda()

# Translation
with torch.no_grad():
generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, num_beams=5, max_new_tokens=20, do_sample=True, temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9)
outputs = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
print(outputs)

The second way: loading the base model and language-specific module (Recommended):

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("haoranxu/X-ALMA-13B-Pretrain", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, f"haoranxu/X-ALMA-13B-Group{group_id}")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(f"haoranxu/X-ALMA-13B-Group{group_id}", padding_side='left')

The third way: loading the base model with all language-specific modules like MoE: (Require large GPU memory)

from modeling_xalma import XALMAForCausalLM
model = XALMAForCausalLM.from_pretrained("haoranxu/X-ALMA", torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("haoranxu/X-ALMA", padding_side='left')

# Add `lang="zh"`: specify the language to instruct the model on which group to use for the third loading method during generation.
generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, num_beams=5, max_new_tokens=20, do_sample=True, temperature=0.6, top_p=0.9, lang="zh")

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
