Overview
RWKV-5 Eagle 7B for Hugging Face Transformers
This model is the Hugging Face Transformers implementation of the RWKV-5 Eagle 7B architecture. RWKV models are known for their unique approach, blending the parallelizable training of Transformers with the efficient inference of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). This particular version is a 7 billion parameter model, offering a substantial context length of 16384 tokens.
Key Characteristics
- Architecture: Utilizes the RWKV-5 Eagle architecture, designed for both efficient training and inference.
- Hugging Face Integration: Specifically packaged for seamless use with the Hugging Face Transformers library, simplifying deployment and experimentation.
- Base Model: It is a base model, meaning it has not been instruction-tuned. This provides flexibility for developers to fine-tune it for specific applications.
- Context Length: Features a notable context window of 16384 tokens, allowing it to process and generate longer sequences of text.
Usage Notes
- Not Instruction-Tuned: Users should be aware that this is a base model. For conversational or instruction-following tasks, further fine-tuning or prompt engineering may be required.
- Efficient Inference: The RWKV architecture generally offers advantages in inference speed and memory usage compared to traditional Transformer models of similar size, especially for long sequences.
- Example Code: The README provides clear Python examples for running inference on both CPU and GPU, including batch inference capabilities, demonstrating how to use the model with the
AutoModelForCausalLMandAutoTokenizerclasses.
