🎉 News

This repo is for research purposes only.

Autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) have garnered significant research attention. However, fully harnessing the potential of LLMs for agent-based tasks presents inherent challenges due to the heterogeneous nature of diverse data sources featuring multi-turn trajectories.

This repo introduces xLAM that aggregates agent trajectories from distinct environments, spanning a wide array of scenarios. It standardizes and unifies these trajectories into a consistent format, streamlining the creation of a generic data loader optimized for agent training. Leveraging the data unification, our training pipeline maintains equilibrium across different data sources and preserves independent randomness across devices during dataset partitioning and model training.

If you already know Mixtral, xLAM series are a significant upgrade and better at many things including general tasks and function calling. For the same number of parameters, the model have been fine-tuned across a wide range of agent tasks and scenarios, all while preserving the capabilities of the original model.

For example, xLAM-v0.1-r represents the version 0.1 of the Large Action Model series, with the "-r" indicating it's tagged for research. This model is compatible with VLLM and FastChat platforms.

Below is one example on using the older xLAM-v0.1-r model:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xLAM-v0.1-r")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Salesforce/xLAM-v0.1-r", device_map="auto")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"}
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")

outputs = model.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Note: You may need to tune the Temperature setting for different applications. Typically, a lower Temperature is helpful for tasks that require deterministic outcomes. Additionally, for tasks demanding adherence to specific formats or function calls, explicitly including formatting instructions is advisable and important.

Deploying and Interacting with xLAM Models

‼️ Check the latest examples and tokenizer info on interacting with xLAM models.

There are two main options for serving the xLAM model as an OpenAI-compatible chat completion API (here we use Salesforce/xLAM-8x7b-r and 4xA100 (40GB) setup as an example):

Option 1: Using vLLM (Recommended)

vLLM offers efficient serving with lower latency. To serve the model with vLLM:

vllm serve Salesforce/xLAM-8x7b-r --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 4

Option 2: Using FastChat

FastChat provides a more feature-rich serving setup. To serve with FastChat:

  1. Start the controller:
python3 -m fastchat.serve.controller --host 0.0.0.0
  1. Start the OpenAI-compatible API server:
python3 -m fastchat.serve.openai_api_server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
  1. Launch the model worker:
python3 -m fastchat.serve.vllm_worker \
       --model-names "Salesforce/xLAM-8x7b-r" \
       --model-path Salesforce/xLAM-8x7b-r \
       --host 0.0.0.0 \
       --port 31005 \
       --worker-address http://localhost:31001 \
       --num-gpus 4 \
       --limit-worker-concurrency 64

Using the Chat Completion API

Once the model is served, you can use the following xLAM client to interact with it for function calling or other applications:

from xLAM.client import xLAMChatCompletion, xLAMConfig

# Configure the client
config = xLAMConfig(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1/", model="Salesforce/xLAM-8x7b-r")
llm = xLAMChatCompletion.from_config(config)

# Example conversation
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in New York?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "To get the weather information for New York, I'll need to use the get_weather function.", "tool_calls": {"name": "get_weather", "arguments": '{"location": "New York", "unit": "fahrenheit"}'}},
    {"role": "tool", "name": "get_weather", "content": '{"temperature": 72, "description": "Partly cloudy"}'},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Now, search for the weather in San Francisco."}
]

# Example function definition (optional)
tools = [
    {
        "name": "get_weather",
        "description": "Get the current weather for a location",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "location": {"type": "string", "description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, New York"},
                "unit": {"type": "string", "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"], "description": "The unit of temperature to return"}
            },
            "required": ["location"]
        }
    },
    {
        "name": "search",
        "description": "Search for information on the internet",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "query": {"type": "string", "description": "The search query, e.g. 'latest news on AI'"}
            },
            "required": ["query"]
        }
    },
    {
        "name": "respond",
        "description": "When you are ready to respond, use this function. This function allows the assistant to formulate and deliver appropriate replies based on the input message and the context of the conversation. Generate a concise response for simple questions, and a more detailed response for complex questions.",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "message": {"type": "string", "description": "The content of the message to respond to."}
            },
            "required": ["message"]
        }
    }
]

response = llm.completion(messages, tools=tools)
print(response)

Framework

    interleave_data(

Supervised fine tuning and DPO fine tuning.

We have SFT trainer v1 and v2lite, where v1 is more based on trl module optimized for LoRA while v2lite is starting from scratch with Accelerator optimized for fully-finetuning. They share almost the same interface.

from xLAM.fm_trainers.sft_foundation_trainer import SFTFoundationTrainer
from xLAM.train.fm_trainers.sft_foundation_trainer_lite import SFTFoundationTrainerLite, prepare_accelerator

script_args = parser.parse_args_into_dataclasses()[0]

collator = DataCollatorForPromptAnswer(
    instruction_template=instruction_template_ids,
    response_template=response_template_ids,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    mlm=False)

# v2 trainer

accelerator = prepare_accelerator(script_args)
trainer = SFTFoundationTrainerLite(
        args=script_args,
        accelerator=accelerator,
        train_dataset=train_dataset,
        eval_dataset=eval_dataset,
        collator=collator,
    )

trainer.train()
