Prerequisites

1. Ensure required packages are available

python

import torch
import transformers
from typing import Any, Dict
from transformers import PreTrainedTokenizerFast, AutoTokenizer, 
AutoModelForCausalLM
from transformers import (
    AutoModelForCausalLM,
    AutoTokenizer,
    BitsAndBytesConfig,
    HfArgumentParser,
    TrainingArguments,
    pipeline,
    logging,
)
import time

2. Initiate the model and tokenizer

python

model_name = "ceadar-ie/Llama2-7B-AIVision360"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, device_map="auto", 
torch_dtype=torch.float16, trust_remote_code=True)

3. Create a function for generating text

python

def generate_text(input_text):
    num_words_input = len(input_text.split())

    start_time = time.time()
    
    pipe = pipeline(task="text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, max_length=500,temperature=1, top_k=10, top_p=0.1, repetition_penalty = 1.15)
    prompt = f" [INST] {input_text} [/INST]"
    result = pipe(prompt)
    generated_text = result[0]['generated_text'].replace(prompt, "").strip()

    end_time = time.time()
    time_taken = end_time - start_time

    num_words_generated = len(generated_text.split())

    print("Generated Output:")
    print(generated_text)
    print('=' * 60 )
    print("\nNumber of Words in Input Text:", num_words_input)
    print("Number of Words in Generated Output:", num_words_generated)
    print("Time Taken to Generate Output: {:.2f} seconds".format(time_taken))
