h2o-danube2-1.8b-base is a foundation model trained by H2O.ai with 1.8 billion parameters. For details, please refer to our Technical Report. We release three versions of this model:

Model Name	Description
h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-base	Base model
h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-sft	SFT tuned
h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat	SFT + DPO tuned

Model Architecture

We adjust the Llama 2 architecture for a total of around 1.8b parameters. We use the Mistral tokenizer with a vocabulary size of 32,000 and train our model up to a context length of 8,192.

The details of the model architecture are:

Hyperparameter	Value
n_layers	24
n_heads	32
n_query_groups	8
n_embd	2560
vocab size	32000
sequence length	8192

Usage

This is a pre-trained foundation model. For your task, you will likely want to perform application specific fine-tuning. We also offer a chat fine-tuned version: h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat.

To use the model with the transformers library on a machine with GPUs, first make sure you have the transformers library installed.

python

# pip install transformers>=4.39.3

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-base")

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-base",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
)
model.cuda()

inputs = tokenizer("The Danube is the second longest river in Europe", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
res = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=38,
    do_sample=False,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(res[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
