Jamba

This model was released on 2024-03-28 and added to Hugging Face Transformers on 2024-04-18.

Jamba

Jamba is a hybrid Transformer-Mamba mixture-of-experts (MoE) language model ranging from 52B to 398B total parameters. This model aims to combine the advantages of both model families, the performance of transformer models and the efficiency and longer context (256K tokens) of state space models (SSMs) like Mamba.

Jamba’s architecture features a blocks-and-layers approach that allows Jamba to successfully integrate Transformer and Mamba architectures altogether. Each Jamba block contains either an attention or a Mamba layer, followed by a multi-layer perceptron (MLP), producing an overall ratio of one Transformer layer out of every eight total layers. MoE layers are mixed in to increase model capacity.

You can find all the original Jamba checkpoints under the AI21 organization.

Tip

Click on the Jamba models in the right sidebar for more examples of how to apply Jamba to different language tasks.

The example below demonstrates how to generate text with Pipeline, AutoModel, and from the command line.

# install optimized Mamba implementations
# !pip install mamba-ssm causal-conv1d>=1.2.0
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipeline = pipeline(
    task="text-generation",
    model="ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Mini-1.6",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device=0
)
pipeline("Plants create energy through a process known as")

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    "ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Large-1.6",
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Large-1.6",
    dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
    attn_implementation="sdpa"
)
input_ids = tokenizer("Plants create energy through a process known as", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

output = model.generate(**input_ids, cache_implementation="static")
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

echo -e "Plants create energy through a process known as" | transformers run --task text-generation --model ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Mini-1.6 --device 0

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the Quantization overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses bitsandbytes to only quantize the weights to 8-bits.

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig

quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True,
                                         llm_int8_skip_modules=["mamba"])

outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=216)

# Decode the output
conversation = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

# Split the conversation to get only the assistant's response
assistant_response = conversation.split(messages[-1]['content'])[1].strip()

# Output: Seek and you shall find. The path is winding, but the journey is enlightening. What wisdom do you seek from the ancient echoes?

Notes

• Don’t quantize the Mamba blocks to prevent model performance degradation.

• It is not recommended to use Mamba without the optimized Mamba kernels as it results in significantly lower latencies. If you still want to use Mamba without the kernels, then set use_mamba_kernels=False in from_pretrained.
