[Jamba](https://huggingface.co/papers/2403.19887) is a hybrid Transformer-Mamba mixture-of-experts (MoE) language model ranging from 52B to 398B total parameters. This model aims to combine the advantages of both model families, the performance of transformer models and the efficiency and longer context (256K tokens) of state space models (SSMs) like Mamba.

## Overview
Jamba's architecture features a blocks-and-layers approach that allows Jamba to successfully integrate Transformer and Mamba architectures altogether. Each Jamba block contains either an attention or a Mamba layer, followed by a multi-layer perceptron (MLP), producing an overall ratio of one Transformer layer out of every eight total layers. MoE layers are mixed in to increase model capacity.

Jamba is a state-of-the-art, hybrid SSM-Transformer LLM. It is the first production-scale Mamba implementation, which opens up interesting research and application opportunities. While this initial experimentation shows encouraging gains, we expect these to be further enhanced with future optimizations and explorations.
You can find all the original Jamba checkpoints under the [AI21](https://huggingface.co/ai21labs) organization.

For full details of this model please read the [release blog post](https://www.ai21.com/blog/announcing-jamba).

### Model Details
The example below demonstrates how to generate text with [`Pipeline`], [`AutoModel`], and from the command line.

Jamba is a pretrained, mixture-of-experts (MoE) generative text model, with 12B active parameters and an overall of 52B parameters across all experts. It supports a 256K context length, and can fit up to 140K tokens on a single 80GB GPU.

### Prerequisites

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

Jamba requires you use `transformers` version 4.39.0 or higher:
```bash
pip install transformers>=4.39.0
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
"ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Large-1.6",
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Large-1.6",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto",
attn_implementation="sdpa"
)
input_ids = tokenizer("Plants create energy through a process known as", return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

output = model.generate(**input_ids, cache_implementation="static")
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
</hfoption>
<hfoption id="transformers-cli">

In order to run optimized Mamba implementations, you first need to install `mamba-ssm` and `causal-conv1d`:
```bash
pip install mamba-ssm causal-conv1d>=1.2.0
echo -e "Plants create energy through a process known as" | transformers-cli run --task text-generation --model ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-Mini-1.6 --device 0
```
You also have to have the model on a CUDA device.

You can run the model not using the optimized Mamba kernels, but it is **not** recommended as it will result in significantly lower latencies. In order to do that, you'll need to specify `use_mamba_kernels=False` when loading the model.

Quantization reduces the memory burden of large models by representing the weights in a lower precision. Refer to the Quantization overview for more available quantization backends.

The example below uses bitsandbytes to only quantize the weights to 8-bits.

What type of quantization example do you think can be added that allows the users to load the model efficiently?
I've mostly used bitsandbytes for my usage and could use some guidance here.

bitsandbytes is a nice and easy choice for inference 👍

You should have an un-quantized version as well though. So:

The published checkpoint is saved in BF16. In order to load it into RAM in BF16/FP16, you need to specify `torch_dtype`:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ai21labs/Jamba-v0.1", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
# you can also use torch_dtype=torch.float16
```
outputs = model.generate(input_ids, max_new_tokens=216)

When using half precision, you can enable the [FlashAttention2](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention) implementation of the Attention blocks. In order to use it, you also need the model on a CUDA device. Since in this precision the model is to big to fit on a single 80GB GPU, you'll also need to parallelize it using [accelerate](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/index):
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
import torch
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ai21labs/Jamba-v0.1",
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
device_map="auto")
# Decode the output
conversation = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

# Split the conversation to get only the assistant's response
assistant_response = conversation.split(messages[-1]['content'])[1].strip()
print(assistant_response)
# Output: Seek and you shall find. The path is winding, but the journey is enlightening. What wisdom do you seek from the ancient echoes?

## Notes

**Using 8-bit precision, it is possible to fit up to 140K sequence lengths on a single 80GB GPU.** You can easily quantize the model to 8-bit using [bitsandbytes](https://huggingface.co/docs/bitsandbytes/index). In order to not degrade model quality, we recommend to exclude the Mamba blocks from the quantization:
- Don't quantize the Mamba blocks to prevent model performance degradation.
- It is not recommended to use Mamba without the optimized Mamba kernels as it results in significantly lower latencies. If you still want to use Mamba without the kernels, then set `use_mamba_kernels=False` in [`~AutoModel.from_pretrained`].

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, BitsAndBytesConfig
quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True, llm_int8_skip_modules=["mamba"])
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"ai21labs/Jamba-v0.1", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, attn_implementation="flash_attention_2", quantization_config=quantization_config
)
```
</details>
```py
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("ai21labs/AI21-Jamba-1.5-Large",
use_mamba_kernels=False)
