How to use

Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "openthaigpt/openthaigpt-1.6-72b"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "กรุงเทพมหานครคืออะไร"
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=8192,
    temperature=0.6
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]

vLLM

1. Install vLLM (vllm-project/vllm)
2. Run server

vllm serve openthaigpt/openthaigpt-1.6-72b --tensor-parallel-size 2
