DECO-0.5B

This is the 0.5B DECO checkpoint introduced by the paper DECO: Sparse Mixture-of-Experts with Dense-Comparable Performance on End-Side Devices.

DECO (Sparse Mixture-of-Experts with Dense-Comparable Performance on End-Side Devices) is a sparse MoE architecture designed to match the performance of dense Transformers under identical total parameter budgets and training tokens. It is an improved version of the BlockFFN architecture.

Quick start

You can load and use this model with AutoTokenizer and AutoModelForCausalLM from transformers. Since the model uses a custom architecture, trust_remote_code=True is required.

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

model_id = "SparseLLM/DECO-0.5B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    trust_remote_code=True,
).to("cuda").eval()

prompt = "Mixture-of-Experts models are useful because"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

with torch.no_grad():
    output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64, do_sample=False)

print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
