Apertus is a family of large language models from the Swiss AI Initiative.
[!TIP] Coming soon
The example below demonstrates how to generate text with [Pipeline] or the [AutoModel], and from the command line.
from transformers import pipeline
pipeline = pipeline(
task="text-generation",
model="swiss-ai/Apertus-8B",
device=0
)
pipeline("Plants create energy through a process known as")
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
"swiss-ai/Apertus-8B",
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"swiss-ai/Apertus-8B",
device_map="auto",
attn_implementation="sdpa"
)
input_ids = tokenizer("Plants create energy through a process known as", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
output = model.generate(**input_ids)
print(tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
