Mistral Inference

Install

It is recommended to use mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407 with mistral-inference. For HF transformers code snippets, please keep scrolling.

pip install mistral_inference

Download

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
from pathlib import Path
mistral_models_path = Path.home().joinpath('mistral_models', 'Nemo-Instruct')
mistral_models_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
snapshot_download(repo_id="mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407", allow_patterns=["params.json", "consolidated.safetensors", "tekken.json"], local_dir=mistral_models_path)

Chat

After installing mistral_inference, a mistral-chat CLI command should be available in your environment. You can chat with the model using

mistral-chat $HOME/mistral_models/Nemo-Instruct --instruct --max_tokens 256 --temperature 0.35

E.g. Try out something like:

How expensive would it be to ask a window cleaner to clean all windows in Paris. Make a reasonable guess in US Dollar.

Instruct following

from mistral_inference.transformer import Transformer
from mistral_inference.generate import generate
from mistral_common.tokens.tokenizers.mistral import MistralTokenizer
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.messages import UserMessage
from mistral_common.protocol.instruct.request import ChatCompletionRequest
tokenizer = MistralTokenizer.from_file(f"{mistral_models_path}/tekken.json")
model = Transformer.from_folder(mistral_models_path)
prompt = "How expensive would it be to ask a window cleaner to clean all windows in Paris. Make a reasonable guess in US Dollar."
completion_request = ChatCompletionRequest(messages=[UserMessage(content=prompt)])
tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens
out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=64, temperature=0.35, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])
print(result)

                description="Get the current weather",
                parameters={
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {

                            "type": "string",
                            "description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA",

                            "enum": ["celsius", "fahrenheit"],
                            "description": "The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location.",
                        },
                    },
                    "required": ["location", "format"],
                },
            )
        )
    ],
    messages=[
        UserMessage(content="What's the weather like today in Paris?"),
        ],
)
tokens = tokenizer.encode_chat_completion(completion_request).tokens
out_tokens, _ = generate([tokens], model, max_tokens=256, temperature=0.35, eos_id=tokenizer.instruct_tokenizer.tokenizer.eos_id)
result = tokenizer.decode(out_tokens[0])
print(result)

Transformers

IMPORTANT: NOTE: Until a new release has been made, you need to install transformers from source:

> pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

>

If you want to use Hugging Face transformers to generate text, you can do something like this.

from transformers import pipeline
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a pirate chatbot who always responds in pirate speak!"},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
chatbot = pipeline("text-generation", model="mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407",max_new_tokens=128)
chatbot(messages)

Function calling with transformers

To use this example, you'll need transformers version 4.42.0 or higher. Please see the
function calling guide
in the transformers docs for more information.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch
model_id = "mistralai/Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
def get_current_weather(location: str, format: str):
    """
    Get the current weather
Args:
        location: The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA
        format: The temperature unit to use. Infer this from the users location. (choices: ["celsius", "fahrenheit"])
    """
    pass
conversation = [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Paris?"}]
tools = [get_current_weather]
format and tokenize the tool use prompt 
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
            conversation,
            tools=tools,
            add_generation_prompt=True,
            return_dict=True,
            return_tensors="pt",
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
inputs.to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1000)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Note that, for reasons of space, this example does not show a complete cycle of calling a tool and adding the tool call and tool
results to the chat history so that the model can use them in its next generation. For a full tool calling example, please
see the function calling guide,
and note that Mistral does use tool call IDs, so these must be included in your tool calls and tool results. They should be
exactly 9 alphanumeric characters.

TIP: Unlike previous Mistral models, Mistral Nemo requires smaller temperatures. We recommend to use a temperature of 0.3.

Limitations

The Mistral Nemo Instruct model is a quick demonstration that the base model can be easily fine-tuned to achieve compelling performance.
It does not have any moderation mechanisms. We're looking forward to engaging with the community on ways to
make the model finely respect guardrails, allowing for deployment in environments requiring moderated outputs.
