Instructions to use 01-ai/Yi-1.5-6B-Chat with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use 01-ai/Yi-1.5-6B-Chat with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="01-ai/Yi-1.5-6B-Chat")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("01-ai/Yi-1.5-6B-Chat")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("01-ai/Yi-1.5-6B-Chat")
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]:]))

Intro

Yi-1.5 is an upgraded version of Yi. It is continuously pre-trained on Yi with a high-quality corpus of 500B tokens and fine-tuned on 3M diverse fine-tuning samples.

Compared with Yi, Yi-1.5 delivers stronger performance in coding, math, reasoning, and instruction-following capability, while still maintaining excellent capabilities in language understanding, commonsense reasoning, and reading comprehension.

Model	Context Length	Pre-trained Tokens
Yi-1.5	4K, 16K, 32K	3.6T
