π§ Model Details
- Model Type: Hybrid Language Model (Merged)
- Parent Models:
- Merging Technique: Linear Merge (MergeKit)
π― Intended Use
This model is primarily intended for research and experimentation in hybrid model optimization. Potential use cases include:
- β Text Generation
- β Conversational AI
- β Creative Writing Assistance
- β Exploration of Model Merging Effects
β οΈ Limitations & Considerations
While Pythia-Hybrid-140M offers enhanced capabilities, it also inherits certain limitations from its parent models:
- β May generate inaccurate or misleading information
- β οΈ Potential for biased, offensive, or harmful content
- π Merging may introduce unpredictable behaviors
- π Performance may vary across different tasks
π¬ Merging Process & Configuration
This is not a newly trained model, but rather a merge of existing models using the following configuration:
merge_method: linear
dtype: float16
models:
- model: "EleutherAI/pythia-70m"
parameters:
t: 1.0
weight: 0.5
- model: "EleutherAI/pythia-70m-deduped"
parameters:
t: 1.0
weight: 0.5
parameters:
normalize: true
int8_mask: false
layers:
- pattern: "model.*"

π Environmental Impact
By utilizing model merging rather than training from scratch, Pythia-Hybrid-140M significantly reduces computational and environmental costs.
π How to Use
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "MatteoKhan/Pythia-Hybrid-140M"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
# Example usage
prompt = "Write a short poem about artificial intelligence."
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
