Baichuan-7B is an open-source large-scale pre-trained model developed by Baichuan Intelligent Technology. Based on the Transformer architecture, it is a model with 7 billion parameters trained on approximately 1.2 trillion tokens. It supports both Chinese and English, with a context window length of 4096. It achieves the best performance of its size on standard Chinese and English authoritative benchmarks (C-EVAL/MMLU).

If you wish to use Baichuan-7B (for inference, finetuning, etc.), we recommend using the accompanying code library Baichuan-7B.

Why use Baichuan-7B

在同尺寸模型中Baichuan-7B达到了目前SOTA的水平，参考下面MMLU指标
Baichuan-7B使用自有的中英文双语语料进行训练，在中文上进行优化，在C-Eval达到SOTA水平
不同于LLaMA完全禁止商业使用，Baichuan-7B使用更宽松的开源协议，允许用于商业目的
Among models of the same size, Baichuan-7B has achieved the current state-of-the-art (SOTA) level, as evidenced by the following MMLU metrics.
Baichuan-7B is trained on proprietary bilingual Chinese-English corpora, optimized for Chinese, and achieves SOTA performance on C-Eval.
Unlike LLaMA, which completely prohibits commercial use, Baichuan-7B employs a more lenient open-source license, allowing for commercial purposes.

How to Get Started with the Model

inference code

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from transformers.generation.utils import GenerationConfig

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jackaduma/Baichuan2-7B-Chat-8bits", use_fast=False, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("jackaduma/Baichuan2-7B-Chat-8bits", device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True)
model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained("jackaduma/Baichuan2-7B-Chat-8bits")

# non-streaming
messages = []
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": "解释一下“温故而知新”"})
response = model.chat(tokenizer, messages)
print(response)

# streaming
position = 0
for response in model.chat(tokenizer, messages, stream=True):
    # print(response)
    print(response[position:], end='', flush=True)
    position = len(response)

Model Sources

整体模型基于标准的Transformer结构，我们采用了和LLaMA一样的模型设计

Position Embedding：采用rotary-embedding，是现阶段被大多数模型采用的位置编码方案，具有很好的外推性。
Feedforward Layer：采用SwiGLU，Feedforward变化为(8/3)倍的隐含层大小，即11008。
Layer Normalization: 基于RMSNorm的Pre-Normalization。

具体参数和见下表

Hyperparameter	Value
n_parameters	7000559616
n_layers	32
n_heads	32
d_model	4096
vocab size	64000
sequence length	4096

The overall model is based on the standard Transformer structure, and we have adopted the same model design as LLaMA:

Position Embedding: We use rotary-embedding, which is the position encoding scheme adopted by most models at this stage, and it has excellent extrapolation capabilities.
Feedforward Layer: We use SwiGLU. The feedforward changes to (8/3) times the size of the hidden layer, that is, 11008.
Layer Normalization: Pre-Normalization based on RMSNorm.

The specific parameters are as follows:

Hyperparameter	Value
n_parameters	7000559616
n_layers	32
n_heads	32
d_model	4096
vocab size	64000
sequence length	4096

Uses

Downstream Use

我们同时开源出了和本模型配套的训练代码，允许进行高效的Finetune用于下游任务，具体参见Baichuan-7B。

We have also open-sourced the training code that accompanies this model, allowing for efficient finetuning for downstream tasks. For more details, please refer to Baichuan-7B.

Out-of-Scope Use

在没有充分评估风险和采取缓解措施的情况下投入生产使用；任何可能被视为不负责任或有害的使用案例。

Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Baichuan-7B可能会产生事实上不正确的输出，不应依赖它产生事实上准确的信息。Baichuan-7B是在各种公共数据集上进行训练的。尽管我们已经做出了巨大的努力来清洗预训练数据，但这个模型可能会生成淫秽、偏见或其他冒犯性的输出。

Baichuan-7B can produce factually incorrect output, and should not be relied on to produce factually accurate information. Baichuan-7B was trained on various public datasets. While great efforts have been taken to clean the pretraining data, it is possible that this model could generate lewd, biased or otherwise offensive outputs.
