RakutenAI-2.0-mini

Model Description

RakutenAI-2.0-mini is a lightweight Japanese language model trained from scratch using a transformer architecture, designed for efficient performance in resource-constrained environments. As a foundation model, it serves as the backbone for instruct models.

If you are looking for instruct model, check RakutenAI-2.0-mini-instruct.

Model Usage

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_path = "Rakuten/RakutenAI-2.0-mini"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_path, torch_dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
model.eval()

requests = [
    "南硫黄島原生自然環境保全地域は、自然",
    "The capybara is a giant cavy rodent",
]

for req in requests:
    input_text = tokenizer(req, return_tensors="pt").to(device=model.device)
    tokens = model.generate(
        **input_text,
        max_new_tokens=512,
        do_sample=True,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )
    out = tokenizer.decode(tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
    print("INPUT:\n" + req)
    print("OUTPUT:\n" + out)

Limitations and Bias

The suite of RakutenAI-2.0 models is capable of generating human-like text on a wide range of topics. However, like all LLMs, they have limitations and can produce biased, inaccurate, or unsafe outputs. Please exercise caution and judgement while interacting with them.
