Instructions to use MiniLLM/VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use MiniLLM/VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="MiniLLM/VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniLLM/VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniLLM/VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M

paper | code

VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-500M is a 500M model with Qwen achitecture pre-trained with vanilla token-level knowledge distillation on the Pile for 50B tokens. The teacher model is Qwen1.5-1.8B.

We also open-source the tokenized pre-training corpus for reproducibility.

It is used as the baseline for MiniLLM-Qwen-500M

Evaluation

MiniPLM models achieves better performance given the same computation and scales well across model sizes:
