JOURNEY TO 1 MILLION DEVELOPERS

5 years ago, we launched Gradio as a simple Python library to let researchers at Stanford easily demo computer vision models with a web interface.

Today, Gradio is used by >1 million developers each month to build and share AI web apps. This includes some of the most popular open-source projects of all time, like Automatic1111, Fooocus, Oobabooga’s Text WebUI, Dall-E Mini, and LLaMA-Factory.

How did we get here? How did Gradio keep growing in the very crowded field of open-source Python libraries? I get this question a lot from folks who are building their own open-source libraries. This post distills some of the lessons that I have learned over the past few years:

1. Invest in good primitives, not high-level abstractions
2. Embed virality directly into your library
3. Focus on a (growing) niche
4. Your only roadmap should be rapid iteration
5. Maximize ways users can consume your library's outputs

1. Invest in good primitives, not high-level abstractions

When we first launched Gradio, we offered only one high-level class (gr.Interface), which created a complete web app from a single Python function. We quickly realized that developers wanted to create other kinds of apps (e.g. multi-step workflows, chatbots, streaming applications), but as we started listing out the apps users wanted to build, we realized what we needed to do:

👋 Hi Gradio community,

I'm excited to share that Gradio 5 will launch in October with improvements across security, performance, SEO, design (see the screenshot for Gradio 4 vs. Gradio 5), and user experience, making Gradio a mature framework for web-based ML applications.

Gradio 5 is currently in beta, so if you'd like to try it out early, please refer to the instructions below:

---------- Installation -------------

Gradio 5 depends on Python 3.10 or higher, so if you are running Gradio locally, please ensure that you have Python 3.10 or higher, or download it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

* Locally: If you are running gradio locally, simply install the release candidate with pip install gradio --pre
* Spaces: If you would like to update an existing gradio Space to use Gradio 5, you can simply update the sdk_version to be 5.0.0b3 in the README.md file on Spaces.

In most cases, that’s all you have to do to run Gradio 5.0. If you start your Gradio application, you should see your Gradio app running, with a fresh new UI.

-----------------------------

Fore more information, please see: https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/9463

Phased Consistency Model

Phased Consistency Model (2405.18407)

The consistency model (CM) has recently made significant progress in accelerating the generation of diffusion models. However, its application to high-resolution, text-conditioned image generation in the latent space (a.k.a., LCM) remains unsatisfactory. In this paper, we identify three key flaws in the current design of LCM. We investigate the reasons behind these limitations and propose the Phased Consistency Model (PCM), which generalizes the design space and addresses all identified limitations. Our evaluations demonstrate that PCM significantly outperforms LCM across 1--16 step generation settings. While PCM is specifically designed for multi-step refinement, it achieves even superior or comparable 1-step generation results to previously state-of-the-art specifically designed 1-step methods. Furthermore, we show that PCM's methodology is versatile and applicable to video generation, enabling us to train the state-of-the-art few-step text-to-video generator.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 holds an important place in machine learning. But it has traditionally been quite difficult to go from prototype code to production-ready APIs

We're working on making that a lot easier with 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 and will unveil something new on June 6th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44vi31hehw4&ab_channel=HuggingFace

Chameleon

Mixed-Modal Early-Fusion Foundation Models

Chameleon: Mixed-Modal Early-Fusion Foundation Models (2405.09818)

We present Chameleon, a family of early-fusion token-based mixed-modal models capable of understanding and generating images and text in any arbitrary sequence. We outline a stable training approach from inception, an alignment recipe, and an architectural parameterization tailored for the early-fusion, token-based, mixed-modal setting. The models are evaluated on a comprehensive range of tasks, including visual question answering, image captioning, text generation, image generation, and long-form mixed modal generation. Chameleon demonstrates broad and general capabilities, including state-of-the-art performance in image captioning tasks, outperforms Llama-2 in text-only tasks while being competitive with models such as Mixtral 8x7B and Gemini-Pro, and performs non-trivial image generation, all in a single model. It also matches or exceeds the performance of much larger models, including Gemini Pro and GPT-4V, according to human judgments on a new long-form mixed-modal generation evaluation, where either the prompt or outputs contain mixed sequences of both images and text. Chameleon marks a significant step forward in a unified modeling of full multimodal documents.

New sampling strategy dropped in 🤗 transformers -- Min P sampling 🔥

Are you tired of having top_k arbitrarily discarding high-quality continuations? Or top_p forgetting to exclude low-probability tokens, derailing your generation? Try out the new min_p flag in generate, fresh from a PR merged today! 🥬

Min P consists of a dynamic token filter -- as opposed to Top K, which keeps the K most likely tokens, and Top P, which keeps the most likely tokens up to a fixed cumulative probability, both static filters. Min P takes a base probability (defined in the min_p flag) and multiplies it by the probability of the most likely token in the distribution for the next token. All tokens less likely than the resulting value are filtered. What happens with this strategy?
👉 High probability token present -> aggressive filter (we don't want to miss on that high-probability case and risk derailing generation)
👉 No high probability token present -> relaxed filter (there are many continuation possibilities that the model finds plausible)

You should set min_p to a low value, between 0.05 and 0.1. It behaves particularly well for creative text generation when paired up with temperature > 1.

Kudos to @kalomaze and @menhguin for creating this technique 🔥 Read their discussion in the original issue for benchmarks (https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27670)

Copy-pasteable version of the example in the image below here: https://pastebin.com/VqXNtuxd

Have fun experimenting! 😎

A Careful Examination of Large Language Model Performance on Grade School Arithmetic

A Careful Examination of Large Language Model Performance on Grade School Arithmetic (2405.00332)

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved impressive success on many benchmarks for mathematical reasoning. However, there is growing concern that some of this performance actually reflects dataset contamination, where data closely resembling benchmark questions leaks into the training data, instead of true reasoning ability. To investigate this claim rigorously, we commission Grade School Math 1000 (GSM1k). GSM1k is designed to mirror the style and complexity of the established GSM8k benchmark, the gold standard for measuring elementary mathematical reasoning. We ensure that the two benchmarks are comparable across important metrics such as human solve rates, number of steps in solution, answer magnitude, and more. When evaluating leading open- and closed-source LLMs on GSM1k, we observe accuracy drops of up to 13%, with several families of models (e.g., Phi and Mistral) showing evidence of systematic overfitting across almost all model sizes. At the same time, many models, especially those on the frontier, (e.g., Gemini/GPT/Claude) show minimal signs of overfitting. Further analysis suggests a positive relationship (Spearman's r^2=0.32) between a model's probability of generating an example from GSM8k and its performance gap between GSM8k and GSM1k, suggesting that many models may have partially memorized GSM8k.

Octopus v4

Graph of language models

Octopus v4: Graph of language models (2404.19296)

Language models have been effective in a wide range of applications, yet the most sophisticated models are often proprietary. For example, GPT-4 by OpenAI and various models by Anthropic are expensive and consume substantial energy. In contrast, the open-source community has produced competitive models, like Llama3. Furthermore, niche-specific smaller language models, such as those tailored for legal, medical or financial tasks, have outperformed their proprietary counterparts. This paper introduces a novel approach that employs functional tokens to integrate multiple open-source models, each optimized for particular tasks. Our newly developed Octopus v4 model leverages functional tokens to intelligently direct user queries to the most appropriate vertical model and reformat the query to achieve the best performance. Octopus v4, an evolution of the Octopus v1, v2, and v3 models, excels in selection and parameter understanding and reformatting. Additionally, we explore the use of graph as a versatile data structure that effectively coordinates multiple open-source models by harnessing the capabilities of the Octopus model and functional tokens.

Adding a long prompt can help you fight LLM hallucinations. However, if you know exactly how you want your LLM output constrained, there are much better strategies! 💪

Did you know you can force your LLM to ALWAYS generate a valid JSON file? Or to follow a well-defined answer template? You can do that and more with the 🤗 transformers-compatible outlines library.

It doesn't only allow you to master your LLM -- your text generation application will also become faster! 🔥 The more constrained your text generation is, the bigger speedups you'll see!

Follow @remi and other outlines folks to stay on top of the constrained generation game 🧠

Layer Skip

Enabling Early Exit Inference and Self-Speculative Decoding

LayerSkip: Enabling Early Exit Inference and Self-Speculative Decoding (2404.16710)

We present LayerSkip, an end-to-end solution to speed-up inference of large language models (LLMs). First, during training we apply layer dropout, with low dropout rates for earlier layers and higher dropout rates for later layers, and an early exit loss where all transformer layers share the same exit. Second, during inference, we show that this training recipe increases the accuracy of early exit at earlier layers, without adding any auxiliary layers or modules to the model. Third, we present a novel self-speculative decoding solution where we exit at early layers and verify and correct with remaining layers of the model. Our proposed self-speculative decoding approach has less memory footprint than other speculative decoding approaches and benefits from shared compute and activations of the draft and verification stages. We run experiments on different Llama model sizes on different types of training: pretraining from scratch, continual pretraining, finetuning on specific data domain, and finetuning on specific task. We implement our inference solution and show speedups of up to 2.16x on summarization for CNN/DM documents, 1.82x on coding, and 2.0x on TOPv2 semantic parsing task.
