Today, I wanted to play around with something called “flash falcon.” I’d heard it was pretty cool, so I figured, why not give it a shot? Here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to get everything set up. I started by grabbing the necessary files. Honestly, finding the right stuff was a bit of a scavenger hunt, but I eventually tracked it all down.
The Setup Process
Next up, installation. I gotta say, this wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. There were a few hiccups along the way – some dependencies I had to sort out, and a couple of configuration files that needed tweaking. It took a bit of trial and error, and some head-scratching, but I muddled through.
I installed the transformers, I think, i forgot the name. I ran:
pip install something
Making it Work
Once everything was installed, it was time to actually run the thing. I fired up the command line and… bam! Errors. Of course. It wouldn’t be a proper tech adventure without some error messages, right?
So, I dove back into the documentation, did some Googling, and tried a few different things. After a bit of fiddling – changing some parameters here, adjusting some settings there – I finally got it to work. The feeling of finally seeing that “success” message? Priceless.
I wrote:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import transformers
import torch
model_id = "tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct"
tokenizer = *_pretrained(model_id)
model = *_pretrained(
model_id,
torch_dtype=*16,
trust_remote_code=True,
device_map="auto",
pipeline = *(
"text-generation",
model=model,
tokenizer=tokenizer,
torch_dtype=*16,
trust_remote_code=True,
device_map="auto",
The Result
I ran:
sequences = pipeline(
"Girafatron is obsessed with giraffes, the most glorious animal on the face of this Earth. Giraftron believes all other animals are irrelevant when compared to the glorious majesty of the giraffe.nDaniel: Hello, Girafatron!nGirafatron:",
max_length=200,
do_sample=True,
top_k=10,
num_return_sequences=1,
eos_token_id=*_token_id,
for seq in sequences:
print(f"Result: {seq['generated_text']}")
I got:
Result: Girafatron is obsessed with giraffes, the most glorious animal on the face of this Earth. Giraftron believes all other animals are irrelevant when compared to the glorious majesty of the giraffe.
Daniel: Hello, Girafatron!
Girafatron: Hello, Daniel. I see you're admiring the beauty of the giraffe.
So, there you have it. My little adventure with “flash falcon.” Was it smooth sailing? Nope. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I learned a ton, and I got to play around with some cool tech. That’s a win in my book.
