Instructions to use allenai/Dense_1b_130B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use allenai/Dense_1b_130B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="allenai/Dense_1b_130B", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("allenai/Dense_1b_130B", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

```

Dense_1b_130B

An active-parameter-matched dense baseline released alongside EMO: Pretraining Mixture of Experts for Emergent Modularity — referred to as "Dense @ 8" in Figure 1 of the paper. Not midtrained.

1B parameter dense decoder-only Transformer (no MoE) pretrained from scratch on 130B tokens of the OLMoE pretraining mix. Provides an active-parameter-matched comparison point against 8-expert subsets carved out of the larger 1B/14B EMO models.

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "allenai/Dense_1b_130B"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)

inputs = tokenizer(["Language modeling is "], return_tensors="pt", return_token_type_ids=False)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True, temperature=1.0, top_p=0.7)
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(out, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
