Libraries

How to use jpacifico/Chocolatine-2-14B-Instruct-v2.0.3 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="jpacifico/Chocolatine-2-14B-Instruct-v2.0.3")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("jpacifico/Chocolatine-2-14B-Instruct-v2.0.3")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("jpacifico/Chocolatine-2-14B-Instruct-v2.0.3")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Chocolatine-2-14B-Instruct-v2.0.3 stands out as the strongest open-weights models with a Composite Score of 45.05%
Paper here with benchmark results

MT-Bench-French

Chocolatine-2 outperforms its previous versions and its base architecture Qwen-2.5 model on MT-Bench-French, used with multilingual-mt-bench and GPT-4-Turbo as a LLM-judge.
My goal was to achieve GPT-4o-mini's performance on the French language, this version comes close to the performance of the OpenAI model according to this benchmark

Usage

You can run this model using my Colab notebook

You can also run Chocolatine-2 using the following code:

import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

# Format prompt
message = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant chatbot."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is a Large Language Model?"}
]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(new_model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(message, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)

# Create pipeline
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=new_model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer
)

# Generate text
sequences = pipeline(
    prompt,
    do_sample=True,
    temperature=0.7,
    top_p=0.9,
    num_return_sequences=1,
    max_length=200,
)
print(sequences[0]['generated_text'])

Limitations

The Chocolatine-2 model series is a quick demonstration that a base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance.
It does not have any moderation mechanism.
