The authors would like to thank LAION AI for their support of compute for this model. It was trained on the JUWELS supercomputer.

Model Description

Nous-Yarn-Llama-2-70b-32k is a state-of-the-art language model for long context, further pretrained on long context data for 400 steps using the YaRN extension method. It is an extension of Llama-2-70b-hf and supports a 32k token context window.

To use, pass trust_remote_code=True when loading the model, for example

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("NousResearch/Yarn-Llama-2-70b-32k",
  use_flash_attention_2=True,
  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
  device_map="auto",
  trust_remote_code=True)

In addition you will need to use the latest version of transformers (until 4.35 comes out)

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
