Instructions to use tssst/Aster-G2-9B-v1 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use tssst/Aster-G2-9B-v1 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="tssst/Aster-G2-9B-v1")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("tssst/Aster-G2-9B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("tssst/Aster-G2-9B-v1")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

merge

This is a merge of pre-trained language models created using mergekit.

Merge Details

Merge Method

This model was merged using the SLERP method to create an intermediate model. I used the Model Stock merge method after, using the SLERP model as a base.

The idea was to make a nice and smart base model and add in a few pinches of spice.

For some reason it wouldn't let me use any other merge method- it gave me ModelReference errors about my intermediary model for every method except Model Stock for some reason. I'll see if I can fix it and upload my intended task-arithmetic version as a v2.

This is the only one of my like 700 merges that I think uses something novel/interesting enough in its creation to merit an upload.

Named after the aster, a purple-violet star-shaped perennial flower. It's pretty and has a huge family, much like this model.

Models Merged

The following models were included in the merge:
