Limitations
While Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct is a powerful tool, it’s not perfect. Let’s explore some of its limitations.
Language Limitations
Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct is primarily designed to excel in Korean, with additional training in English. However, its proficiency in other languages may be limited. This raises questions:
- How well will Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct perform in languages other than Korean and English?
- Will it struggle to understand nuances and cultural references specific to other languages?
Data Quality and Bias
Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct was trained on a large dataset, but like any AI model, it’s only as good as the data it was trained on. If the training data contains biases or inaccuracies, Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct may learn and replicate these flaws.
- What if the training data contains biases or stereotypes?
- How will Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct handle sensitive or controversial topics?
Format
Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct is a generative model that uses a transformer architecture, specifically designed to excel in Korean through additional training. It supports input in the form of tokenized text sequences, similar to other language models like Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct.
Supported Data Formats
- Tokenized text sequences
- Korean and English languages
Special Requirements
- Input: The model requires a specific pre-processing step for chat templates, which involves applying a chat template to the input messages.
- Output: The model generates output in the form of tokenized text sequences, which can be decoded using the
tokenizer.decode()function.
Example Code
Here’s an example of how to use the Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct model:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("NCSOFT/Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("NCSOFT/Llama-VARCO-8B-Instruct")
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant Varco. Respond accurately and diligently according to the user's instructions."},
{"role": "user", "content": "안녕하세요."}
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
eos_token_id = [tokenizer.eos_token_id, tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids(" ")]
outputs = model.generate(inputs, eos_token_id=eos_token_id, max_length=8192)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
