Recommended for most general-purpose scenarios, including inference and fine-tuning. It delivers quality comparable to FP32 while being significantly faster on modern GPUs (e.g., A100, H100, RTX 4090). The original fp32 model is only for strict numerical reproduction of benchmark results.

Usage

Load Model

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoProcessor, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "mispeech/midashenglm-7b-1021-bf16"
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

python

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

python

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."]
