Processing Long Texts

The current config.json is set for context length up to 32,768 tokens. To handle extensive inputs exceeding 32,768 tokens, we utilize YaRN, a technique for enhancing model length extrapolation, ensuring optimal performance on lengthy texts.

For supported frameworks, you could add the following to config.json to enable YaRN:

json

{
  ...
  "rope_scaling": {
    "factor": 4.0,
    "original_max_position_embeddings": 32768,
    "type": "yarn"
  }
}

Tool Calling

The Tool Calling feature in OpenThaiGPT 1.5 enables users to efficiently call various functions through intelligent responses. This includes making external API calls to retrieve real-time data, such as current temperature information, or predicting future data simply by submitting a query. For example, a user can ask OpenThaiGPT, “What is the current temperature in San Francisco?” and the AI will execute a pre-defined function to provide an immediate response without the need for additional coding. This feature also allows for broader applications with external data sources, including the ability to call APIs for services such as weather updates, stock market information, or data from within the user’s own system.

Example:

python

import openai

def get_temperature(location, date=None, unit="celsius"):
    """Get temperature for a location (current or specific date)."""
    if date:
        return {"temperature": 25.9, "location": location, "date": date, "unit": unit}
    return {"temperature": 26.1, "location": location, "unit": unit}

tools = [
    {
        "name": "get_temperature",
        "description": "Get temperature for a location (current or by date).",
        "parameters": {
            "location": "string", "date": "string (optional)", "unit": "enum [celsius, fahrenheit]"
        },
    }
]

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "อุณหภูมิที่ San Francisco วันนี้ีและพรุ้่งนี้คือเท่าไร่?"}]

# Simulated response flow using OpenThaiGPT Tool Calling
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model=".", messages=messages, tools=tools, temperature=0.7, max_tokens=512
)

print(response)
