Swallow-MX-8x7b-NVE-v0.1

Our Swallow-MX-8x7b-NVE-v0.1 model has undergone continuous pre-training from the Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1, primarily with the addition of Japanese language data.

Model Details

• Model type: Please refer to Mixtral technical report for details on the model architecture.
• Language(s): Japanese English
• Tokenizer: This model utilizes the same tokenizer as employed by Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1.

Base Model Performance

Japanese version

English version

Please note that Swallow-MX-8x7b-NVE-v0.1 is not derived from Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1, but rather underwent continued pre-training from Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1.

Usage

First install additional dependencies in requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use the base model

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_name = "tokyotech-llm/Swallow-MX-8x7b-NVE-v0.1"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
prompt = "東京工業大学の主なキャンパスは、"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(
    prompt,
    add_special_tokens=False,
    return_tensors="pt"
)
tokens = model.generate(
    input_ids.to(device=model.device),
    max_new_tokens=128,
    temperature=0.99,
    top_p=0.95,
    do_sample=True,
)

out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(out)

Training Datasets

Continual Pre-Training

The following datasets were used for continual pre-training.

• Algebraic Stack
• Japanese Wikipedia
• RefinedWeb
• Swallow Corpus
• The Pile
• The Vault

Risks and Limitations

The models released here are still in the early stages of our research and development and have not been tuned to ensure outputs align with human intent and safety considerations.
