MiDashengLM-7B-0804 (4bit, bitsandbytes)

The bnb-4bit weights for mispeech/midashenglm-7b-0804-fp32.

Note: This is a basic 4-bit quantization using bitsandbytes. For better performance and accuracy, we recommend using our GPTQ-quantized version which maintains higher quality while still providing significant memory savings.

Usage

Load Model

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "mispeech/midashenglm-7b-0804-4bit-bnb"  # "mispeech/midashenglm-7b-0804-w4a16-gptq" is more recommended
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)

Construct Prompt

user_prompt = "Caption the audio."  # You may try any other prompt

messages = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful language and speech assistant."}
        ],
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": user_prompt},
            {
                "type": "audio",
                "path": "/path/to/example.wav",
                # or "url": "https://example.com/example.wav"
                # or "audio": np.random.randn(16000)
            },
        ],
    },
]

Generate Output

import torch

with torch.no_grad():
    model_inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
        messages,
        tokenize=True,
        add_generation_prompt=True,
        add_special_tokens=True,
        return_dict=True,
    ).to(device=model.device, dtype=model.dtype)
    generation = model.generate(**model_inputs)
    output = tokenizer.batch_decode(generation, skip_special_tokens=True)  # ["An engine is idling."]
