Model Summary

SmolLM is a series of small language models available in three sizes: 135M, 360M, and 1.7B parameters.

These models are trained on SmolLM-Corpus, a curated collection of high-quality educational and synthetic data designed for training LLMs. For further details, we refer to our blogpost.

To build SmolLM-Instruct, we finetune the base models on publicly available datasets.

Changelog

v0.2 models are better at staying on topic and responding appropriately to standard prompts, such as greetings and questions about their role as AI assistants. SmolLM-360M-Instruct (v0.2) has a 63.3% win rate over SmolLM-360M-Instruct (v0.1) on AlpacaEval. You can find the details here.

Usage

Local Applications

⚡ For local applications, you can find optimized implementations of the model in MLC, GGUF and Transformers.js formats, in addition to fast in-browser demos in this collection: https://huggingface.co/collections/HuggingFaceTB/local-smollms-66c0f3b2a15b4eed7fb198d0

We noticed that 4bit quantization degrades the quality of the 135M and 360M, so we use q016 for MLC and ONNX/Transformers.js checkpoints for the WebGPU demos. We also suggest using temperature 0.2 and top-p 0.9.

Transformers

pip install transformers

# pip install transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
checkpoint = "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M-Instruct"

device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
# for multiple GPUs install accelerate and do `model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint, device_map="auto")`
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France."}]
input_text=tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
print(input_text)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.2, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

Chat in TRL

You can also use the TRL CLI to chat with the model from the terminal:

pip install trl
trl chat --model_name_or_path HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M-Instruct --device cpu

Limitations

Additionally, the generated content may not always be factually accurate, logically consistent, or free from biases present in the training data, we invite users to leverage them as assistive tools rather than definitive sources of information. We find that they can handle general knowledge questions, creative writing and basic Python programming. But they are English only and may have difficulty with arithmetics, editing tasks and complex reasoning. For more details about the models' capabilities, please refer to our blog post.

Training parameters

We train the models using the alignment-handbook with the datasets mentioned in the changelog, using these parameters for v0.2:

• 1 epoch
• lr 1e-3
• cosine schedule
• warmup ratio 0.1
• global batch size 262k tokens
