Aya-23-8B-GGUF

• This is quantized version of CohereForAI/aya-23-8B created using llama.cpp

Model Description

Aya 23 is an open weights research release of an instruction fine-tuned model with highly advanced multilingual capabilities. Aya 23 focuses on pairing a highly performant pre-trained Command family of models with the recently released Aya Collection. The result is a powerful multilingual large language model serving 23 languages.

This model card corresponds to the 8-billion version of the Aya 23 model. We also released a 35-billion version which you can find here.

We cover 23 languages: Arabic, Chinese (simplified & traditional), Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese

Usage

Please install transformers from the source repository that includes the necessary changes for this model

# pip install transformers==4.41.1
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "CohereForAI/aya-23-8B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

# Format message with the command-r-plus chat template
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Anneme onu ne kadar sevdiğimi anlatan bir mektup yaz"}]
input_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=True, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
## <BOS_TOKEN><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|USER_TOKEN|>Anneme onu ne kadar sevdiğimi anlatan bir mektup yaz<|END_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|START_OF_TURN_TOKEN|><|CHATBOT_TOKEN|>

gen_tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids, 
    max_new_tokens=100, 
    do_sample=True, 
    temperature=0.3,
    )

gen_text = tokenizer.decode(gen_tokens[0])
print(gen_text)
