OpenDFM/ChemDFM-v1.0-13B

ChemDFM: An Large Language Foundation Model for Chemistry

ChemDFM is the pioneering open-sourced dialogue foundation model for Chemistry and molecule science, which is build based on LLaMa-13B. ChemDFM outperforms the open-sourced LLMs in all the typical tasks of chemistry, and even reach comparable or higher performances of GPT-4. For more details, please refer to our paper.

Usage Details

The online demo of ChemDFM will be up soon!

local inference

To load and run ChemDFM locally, here is an example:

import torch
from transformers import LlamaTokenizer, LlamaForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

model_name_or_id = "OpenDFM/ChemDFM-13B-v1.0"
tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_id)
model = LlamaForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_id, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto")

input_text = "Can you please give detailed descriptions of the molecule below?\nCl.O=C1c2c(O)cccc2-c2nn(CCNCCO)c3ccc(NCCNCCO)c1c23"
input_text = f"[Round 0]\nHuman: {input_text}\nAssistant:"

inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
generation_config = GenerationConfig(
    do_sample=True,
    top_k=20,
    top_p=0.9,
    temperature=0.9,
    max_new_tokens=1024,
    repetition_penalty=1.05,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id
)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, generation_config=generation_config)
generated_text = tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)[0][len(input_text):]
print(generated_text.strip())

input format

To get better responses, we recommend to preprocess your input and history with the dialogue templates which are used during instruction tuning of ChemDFM. Specifically, for an input queries

{'current_query': current_query, 'history': [(query1, answer1), (query2, answer2), ...]}

, you can use the following code to preprocess the input and history:

def formatting_input(current_query, history):
    input_text = ''
    for idx, (query, answer) in history:
        input_text += f"[Round {idx}]\nHuman: {query}\nAssistant: {answer}\n"
    input_text += f"[Round {len(history)}]\nHuman: {current_query}\nAssistant:"
    return input_text

SMILES preprocess

When there involves SMILES notation in your input, we recommend to preprocess the SMILES with the rdkit package to canonicalize the SMILES. Here is an example:

from rdkit import Chem
def canonicalize_smiles(smiles):
    mol = Chem.MolFromSmiles(smiles)
    if mol is None:
        return None
    return Chem.MolToSmiles(mol, isomericSmiles=True, kekuleSmiles=False)

or directly:

from rdkit import Chem
def canonicalize_smiles(smiles):
    return Chem.CanonSmiles(smiles, useChiral=True)

Performance

Chemical Benchmarks

We evaluate the performance of ChemDFM-13B on multiple widely-used benchmarks in chemistry. The detail introduction of the benchmarks can be found in our paper. The overall performance of ChemDFM-13B is shown below:

Human Evaluation

We mark the correct and relevant information in the replies in green, the correct but irrelevant information in yellow, and the wrong information in red. In addition, the key points of the answer are marked in bold if they appear in the reply.

The results show that while open-sourced LLMs perform well when asked about existing knowledge (Q1), only ChemDFM can provide correct and comprehensive answers when questions involve new molecules and reactions (Q2 [Yin et al., 2023] & Q3 [Dargo et al., 2023])

The above conversation is also inspired by Yin et al.[2023]. During the dialogue, the researcher wants to selectively oxidize one of the two carbonyl groups of a molecule. However, the initial solution given by ChemDFM results in both carbonyl groups being oxidized. Through the correction given by the researcher, ChemDFM adjusts its proposal and provides two possible solutions. Finally, the researcher chooses to use protecting groups and ChemDFM further details its advice. In the dialogue, ChemDFM shows promising capabilities regarding error correction (Round 2) and detailing (Round 3) when handling real-world research scenarios.
