Libraries

How to use normster/RealGuardrails-Qwen2.5-7B-SFT-DPO with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="normster/RealGuardrails-Qwen2.5-7B-SFT-DPO")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("normster/RealGuardrails-Qwen2.5-7B-SFT-DPO")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("normster/RealGuardrails-Qwen2.5-7B-SFT-DPO")
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]:]))

RealGuardrails Models

This model was trained on the RealGuardrails dataset, an instruction-tuning dataset focused on improving system prompt adherence and precedence. In particular, it was trained via SFT on the systemmix split (150K examples) using our custom training library torchllms (yielding normster/RealGuardrails-Qwen2.5-7B-SFT), and then trained via DPO on the preferencemix split (30K examples), and converted back to a transformers compatible checkpoint.
