LLaDA-8B-Tools

This repository contains a variant of GSAI-ML/LLaDA-8B-Instruct, fine-tuned by Proximile LLC to enhance model tool calling capabilities. Proximile specializes in secure, on-premise AI solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

Update Timeline

May 14 2025 – Initial public release. Training examples were missing the pad tokens filling out the rest of the generation window.
May 17 2025 – Patched training script to include correct padding; updated model weights pushed to this repository.
May 20 2025 – Google announces Gemini Diffusion.

About LLaDA

LLaDA (Large Language Diffusion with mAsking) is a novel language model architecture that uses discrete diffusion for text generation. Unlike traditional autoregressive models, LLaDA generates text through an iterative denoising process, progressively replacing mask tokens with predicted tokens based on confidence scores.

Model Description

This merged LoRA model was trained to improve LLaDA's ability to handle tool calling tasks, including:

Generating proper JSON for tool invocation
Processing tool response data
Providing helpful answers based on tool outputs

Training Details

Base Model: GSAI-ML/LLaDA-8B-Instruct
Training Method: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with LoRA
LoRA Configuration:
- Rank (r): 128
- Alpha: 256
- Target Modules: q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, gate_proj
Training Data: A modified subset of the ToolACE dataset.

Installation

pip install transformers peft torch bitsandbytes

Usage

To use this model:

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
from peft import PeftModel

# Load the base model and tokenizer
model_name = "Proximile/LLaDA-8B-Tools"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")

Example Chat Completion Script

Limitations

LLaDA's diffusion-based generation is different from standard LLMs and may behave differently in certain contexts
The model may still hallucinate or generate incorrect tool call formats
The format of the tool call must precisely match what is shown in the example (which is a modified version of the official llama 3.1 format)
