🔧 Model Details

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install transformers peft torch accelerate

Basic Usage

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

# Load base model
base_model_id = "unsloth/Qwen2.5-7B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    base_model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto"
)

# Load LoRA adapters
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "DangIT02/qwen-msmarco-rag")

# Generate response
def generate_answer(question, context=""):
    if context:
        prompt = f"Context: {context}\n\nQuestion: {question}\n\nAnswer:"
    else:
        prompt = f"Question: {question}\n\nAnswer:"
    
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
    
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model.generate(
            **inputs,
            max_length=512,
            do_sample=True,
            temperature=0.7,
            top_p=0.9,
            pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
        )
    
    response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
    return response.split("Answer:")[-1].strip()

# Example usage
question = "What is machine learning?"
context = "Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that focuses on algorithms that can learn from data."
answer = generate_answer(question, context)
print(answer)

RAG Pipeline Integration

def rag_pipeline(question, knowledge_base):
    """
    Complete RAG pipeline with retrieval and generation
    """
    # Step 1: Retrieval (add your retrieval method)
    retrieved_passages = retrieve_passages(question, knowledge_base)
    
    # Step 2: Generation using fine-tuned model
    context = "\n\n".join([f"Document {i+1}:\n{p}" for i, p in enumerate(retrieved_passages)])
    return generate_answer(question, context)

# Example RAG usage
def retrieve_passages(query, knowledge_base):
    # Implement your retrieval (vector search, BM25, etc.)
    # This is just a placeholder
    return ["Retrieved passage 1...", "Retrieved passage 2..."]

question = "How does photosynthesis work?"
answer = rag_pipeline(question, your_knowledge_base)
print(answer)

• Multi-document Analysis: 8/10 on handling multiple context sources
• Query-passage Alignment: Strong understanding of question-context relationships

⚠️ Task Scope & Appropriate Use

Primary Use Case: Document-based Question Answering

This model has been specifically fine-tuned for MS MARCO-style reading comprehension and performs best when:

✅ Ideal scenarios:

• Questions have answers within provided context
• Factual information extraction from documents
• Reading comprehension with clear passages
• Multi-document information synthesis
• Enterprise knowledge base queries

Outside Training Scope:

❌ Not optimized for:

• Mathematical computations (use specialized math models)
• Open-domain generation without context (use general LLMs)
• Creative writing tasks (use creative-focused models)
• Code generation (use code-specific models)
• Scientific calculations (use domain-specific tools)

🎯 Performance Expectations

When used appropriately (RAG/Reading Comprehension):

• High accuracy factual extraction
• Reliable information synthesis
• Consistent context-aware responses
• Minimal hallucination with relevant context

When used outside scope:

• May produce suboptimal results for non-reading tasks
• Not designed for mathematical or computational reasoning
• Best combined with specialized tools for multi-modal tasks

💡 Integration Recommendations

Production RAG Pipeline:

def optimal_usage(query, documents):
    # 1. Ensure documents contain relevant information
    relevant_docs = filter_relevant_documents(query, documents)
    
    # 2. Use model for what it's trained for
    if has_factual_content(relevant_docs):
        answer = model.generate(query, relevant_docs)
        return answer
    else:
        return "No relevant information found in provided documents"

Task-specific Routing:

• Reading comprehension → This model ✅
• Mathematical queries → Route to math-specialized models
• Creative tasks → Route to general-purpose LLMs
• Code questions → Route to code-specialized models
