# `Gemma 2 Baku 2B (rinna/gemma-2-baku-2b)`

![rinna-icon](./rinna.png)

# Overview

We conduct continual pre-training of [google/gemma-2-2b](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b) on **80B** tokens from a mixture of Japanese and English datasets. The continual pre-training improves the model's performance on Japanese tasks.

The name `baku` comes from the Japanese word [`獏/ばく/Baku`](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/獏), which is a kind of Japanese mythical creature ([`妖怪/ようかい/Youkai`](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A6%96%E6%80%AA)).

* **Library**

    The model was trained using code based on [Lightning-AI/litgpt](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/litgpt).

* **Model architecture**

    A 26-layer, 2304-hidden-size transformer-based language model. Please refer to the [Gemma 2 Model Card](https://www.kaggle.com/models/google/gemma-2/) for detailed information on the model's architecture.

* **Training**

    The model was initialized with the [google/gemma-2-2b](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b) model and continually trained on around **80B** tokens from a mixture of the following corpora
    - [Japanese CC-100](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cc100)
    - [Japanese C4](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mc4)
    - [Japanese OSCAR](https://huggingface.co/datasets/oscar-corpus/colossal-oscar-1.0)
    - [The Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EleutherAI/pile)
    - [Wikipedia](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/cirrussearch)
    - rinna curated Japanese dataset

# Benchmarking

Please refer to [rinna's LM benchmark page (Sheet 20241003)](https://rinnakk.github.io/research/benchmarks/lm/index.html).

# How to use the model

~~~python
import transformers
import torch

model_id = "rinna/gemma-2-baku-2b"
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model_id,
    model_kwargs={"torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16, "attn_implementation": "eager"},
    device_map="auto"
)
output = pipeline(
    "西田幾多郎は、",
    max_new_tokens=256,
    do_sample=True
)
print(output[0]["generated_text"])
~~~

It is recommended to use eager attention when conducting batch inference under bfloat16 precision. 
Currently, Gemma 2 yields NaN values for input sequences with padding when the default attention mechanism (torch.scaled_dot_product_attention) is employed in conjunction with bfloat16.

# Tokenization
The model uses the original [google/gemma-2-2b](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b) tokenizer.
