# ChemDFM-v2.0-14B

ChemDFM-v2.0 is the latest non-thinking model of ChemDFM, the pioneering open-sourced dialogue foundation model for Chemistry and molecule science.

To achieve better chemical capabilities, both the domain pre-training stage and the instruction tuning stage are upgraded. **In the domain pre-training stage**, we introduce web-scale molecules and reactions into the corpus along with their functional-group information and properties. In this way, ChemDFM is able to better acquire chemical knowledge at a finer level of granularity. **In the instruction tuning stage**, we significantly improve the diversity of our instruction tuning dataset by introducing more tasks and increasing the variability in the phrasing and expression of the instruction texts.

### local inference

To load and run ChemDFM-v2.0 locally, here is an example:

```python
import re
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

model_name_or_id = "OpenDFM/ChemDFM-v2.0-14B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")

instruction = "Can you please give detailed descriptions of the molecule below?\nCl.O=C1c2c(O)cccc2-c2nn(CCNCCO)c3ccc(NCCNCCO)c1c23"
message = [
    {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
    },
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": instruction
    }
]

input_text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(message, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
generation_config = GenerationConfig(
    do_sample=True,
    top_k=20,
    top_p=0.9,
    temperature=0.9,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    repetition_penalty=1.05,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, generation_config=generation_config)

generated_text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
input_text = tokenizer.decode(inputs["input_ids"][0], skip_special_tokens=True)
generated_text = generated_text[len(input_text):].strip()
print(f"{generated_text=}")
```

### SMILES preprocess

When there involves SMILES notation in your input, we recommend to preprocess the SMILES with the `rdkit` package to canonicalize the SMILES. Here is an example:
```python
from rdkit import Chem
def canonicalize_smiles(smiles):
    mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(smiles)
    if mol is None:
        return None
    return Chem.MolToSmiles(mol, isomericSmiles=True, kekuleSmiles=False)
```
or directly:
```python
from rdkit import Chem
def canonicalize_smiles(smiles):
    return Chem.CanonSmiles(smiles, useChiral=True)
```
