MiDashengLM-7B-0804 (FP8)

The FP8 weights for mispeech/midashenglm-7b-0804-fp32.

Optimized for Hopper-class (H100 and newer) GPUs, leveraging hardware support for enhanced performance and memory savings. While older GPUs may see limited performance gains, FP8 can still be used to conserve VRAM, and storage.

Usage

Load Model

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "mispeech/midashenglm-7b-0804-fp8"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)

Construct Prompt

user_prompt = "Caption the audio."  # You may try any other prompt

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "text", "text": user_prompt},
            {
                "type": "audio",
                "path": "/path/to/example.wav",
                # or "url": "https://example.com/example.wav"
                # or "audio": np.random.randn(16000)
            },
        ],
    },
]

Generate Output

import torch

with torch.no_grad():
    model_inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
        messages,
        tokenize=True,
        add_generation_prompt=True,
        add_special_tokens=True,
        return_dict=True,
    ).to(device=model.device, dtype=model.dtype)
    generation = model.generate(**model_inputs)
    output = tokenizer.batch_decode(generation, skip_special_tokens=True)  # ["An engine is idling."]
