Generate Llama 2 from Embeddings

[liechtym]

Compiling and loading Llama 2 in Neuron is working great for me on a inf2.8xlarge with the new release 2.16.

However, I have a unique use case where I need to be able to input embeddings directly into Llama 2 instead of token ids. I need to be able to generate the embeddings, modify the embeddings, and then use the embeddings for generation. I was already able to generate the embeddings separately via llama_model.chkpt_model.model.embed_tokens(token_ids). However, I'm not seeing a way to plug those embeddings into the model once I've modified them.

It seems to me that LlamaForSampling.sample() (from transformers_neuronx.llama.model) probably can't do this (correct me if I'm wrong). I got TypeError: sample() got an unexpected keyword argument 'inputs_embeds' when I tried.

So, I tried using the HuggingFaceGenerationModelAdapter from transformers_neuronx.generation_utils to enable using the generation API as was performed on this GP2 example. However, there was an error that prevented that, which I filed an issue for in the tranfomers repo.

What is the best way to go about doing this? I really appreciate your help.

In transformers repo they said the HuggingFaceGenerationModelAdapter incompatibility error is probably stemming from the tranfomers-neuronx wrapper. Any help with this?

Here is the error:

Of course my general goal is to simply get this working with input embeddings so if this is not the right route, let me know.

Hi @liechtym , We do not have support for external embeddings. One way you could potentially get around this is by replacing the model embedding weights directly. Please let us know if that helps.

@shebbur-aws Thanks for your reply. A workaround is totally fine for me. Would you be able to give a quick explanation/example for how to replace the embedding weights and run the forward pass on the rest of the model?

Could I get help on this @shebbur-aws ?

@liechtym @shebbur-aws Hi~ I've got the same situation here, do you have any resolution or workaround on this? Input embeds as model input parameter instead of input ids. Thanks~
