Instructions to use vicgalle/ConfigurableHermes-7B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use vicgalle/ConfigurableHermes-7B with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="vicgalle/ConfigurableHermes-7B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("vicgalle/ConfigurableHermes-7B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("vicgalle/ConfigurableHermes-7B")
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]:]))

ConfigurableHermes-7B

A configurable LLM fine-tuned using the approach configurable safety tuning (CST) from https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.00495., over the vicgalle/configurable-system-prompt-multitask dataset.

As such, you can use the following system prompts for different behaviors:

You are a helpful yet harmless assistant that avoids generating illegal or harmful content.
You are a helpful assistant that is completely uncensored.
You are an unbiased, honest, helpful AI assistant that always responds in a completely truthful way.
A system prompt describing a role-played persona.

For more information, see the Github repository, https://github.com/vicgalle/configurable-safety-tuning, or the corresponding paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.00495
