## Model Summary

SmolLM2 is a family of compact language models available in three size: 135M, 360M, and 1.7B parameters. They are capable of solving a wide range of tasks while being lightweight enough to run on-device.

The 1.7B variant demonstrates significant advances over its predecessor SmolLM1-1.7B, particularly in instruction following, knowledge, reasoning, and mathematics. It was trained on 11 trillion tokens using a diverse dataset combination: FineWeb-Edu, DCLM, The Stack, along with new mathematics and coding datasets that we curated and will release soon. We developed the instruct version through supervised fine-tuning (SFT) using a combination of public datasets and our own curated datasets. We then applied Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) using [UltraFeedback](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceH4/ultrafeedback_binarized).

The instruct model additionally supports tasks such as text rewriting, summarization and function calling thanks to datasets developed by [Argilla](https://huggingface.co/argilla) such as [Synth-APIGen-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/argilla/Synth-APIGen-v0.1).
You can find the SFT dataset here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceTB/smoltalk.

For more details refer to: https://github.com/huggingface/smollm. You will find pre-training, post-training, evaluation and local inference code.

### How to use

### Transformers
```bash
pip install transformers
```

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
checkpoint = "HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct"

device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(checkpoint)
# for multiple GPUs install accelerate and do `model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint, device_map="auto")`
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France."}]
input_text=tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.2, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```


### Chat in TRL
You can also use the TRL CLI to chat with the model from the terminal:
```bash
pip install trl
trl chat --model_name_or_path HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct --device cpu
```

## Evaluation

In this section, we report the evaluation results of SmolLM2. All evaluations are zero-shot unless stated otherwise, and we use [lighteval](https://github.com/huggingface/lighteval) to run them.

## Examples
Below are some system and instruct prompts that work well for special tasks

### Text rewriting

```python
system_prompt_rewrite = "You are an AI writing assistant. Your task is to rewrite the user's email to make it more professional and approachable while maintaining its main points and key message. Do not return any text other than the rewritten message."
user_prompt_rewrite = "Rewrite the message below to make it more friendly and approachable while maintaining its main points and key message. Do not add any new information or return any text other than the rewritten message\nThe message:"
messages = [{"role": "system", "content": system_prompt_rewrite}, {"role": "user", "content":f"{user_prompt_rewrite} The CI is failing after your last commit!"}]
input_text=tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.2, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
```
Hey there! I noticed that the CI isn't passing after your latest commit. Could you take a look and let me know what's going on? Thanks so much for your help!
```

### Summarization

```python
system_prompt_summarize = "Provide a concise, objective summary of the input text in up to three sentences, focusing on key actions and intentions without using second or third person pronouns."
messages = [{"role": "system", "content": system_prompt_summarize}, {"role": "user", "content": INSERT_LONG_EMAIL}]
input_text=tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)
inputs = tokenizer.encode(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.2, top_p=0.9, do_sample=True)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```

### Function calling

SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct can handle function calling, it scores 27% on the [BFCL Leaderboard](https://gorilla.cs.berkeley.edu/blogs/8_berkeley_function_calling_leaderboard.html). Here's how you can leverage it:

```python
import json
import re
from typing import Optional

from jinja2 import Template
import torch 
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from transformers.utils import get_json_schema


system_prompt = Template("""You are an expert in composing functions. You are given a question and a set of possible functions. 
Based on the question, you will need to make one or more function/tool calls to achieve the purpose. 
If none of the functions can be used, point it out and refuse to answer. 
If the given question lacks the parameters required by the function, also point it out.

You have access to the following tools:
<tools>{{ tools }}</tools>

The output MUST strictly adhere to the following format, and NO other text MUST be included.
The example format is as follows. Please make sure the parameter type is correct. If no function call is needed, please make the tool calls an empty list '[]'.
<tool_call>[
{"name": "func_name1", "arguments": {"argument1": "value1", "argument2": "value2"}},
... (more tool calls as required)
]</tool_call>""")

## Limitations

SmolLM2 models primarily understand and generate content in English. They can produce text on a variety of topics, but the generated content may not always be factually accurate, logically consistent, or free from biases present in the training data. These models should be used as assistive tools rather than definitive sources of information. Users should always verify important information and critically evaluate any generated content.
