Introduction for Model Merging

Model Merging, also known as model fusion, is an effective technique that merges the parameters of multiple separate models with different capabilities to build a universal model without needing access to the original training data or expensive computation. There are bunch of methods, we can use to merge the capabilities of different models (supported by mergekit) including:

Introduction for SLERP Merging

Spherical Linear Interpolation (SLERP) is a method used to smoothly interpolate between two vectors. It maintains a constant rate of change and preserves the geometric properties of the spherical space in which the vectors reside.

SLERP is currently the most-popular merging method, preffered over traditional methods because instead of dealing with straight-lines, the interpolation occurs on the surface of a sphere, and it has achieved improved performance to very diverse task.

But SLERP is limited to combining only two models at a time, although its possible to hierarchically combine multiple models, as shown in Mistral-7B-Merge-14-v0.1.

💻 Usage

!pip install -qU transformers accelerate

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers
import torch

model = "yuvraj17/Llama3-8B-abliterated-Spectrum-slerp"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "What is a large language model?"}]

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    device_map="auto",
)

outputs = pipeline(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.7, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
print(outputs[0]["generated_text"])
