## Overview

Helium was proposed in [Announcing Helium-1 Preview](https://kyutai.org/2025/01/13/helium.html) by the Kyutai Team.

Helium-1 preview is a lightweight language model with 2B parameters, targeting edge and mobile devices.
It supports the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish.

- **Developed by:** Kyutai
- **Model type:** Large Language Model
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish
- **License:** CC-BY 4.0

## Evaluation

<!-- This section describes the evaluation protocols and provides the results. -->

### Testing Data

<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card if possible. -->

The model was evaluated on MMLU, TriviaQA, NaturalQuestions, ARC Easy & Challenge, Open Book QA, Common Sense QA,
Physical Interaction QA, Social Interaction QA, HellaSwag, WinoGrande, Multilingual Knowledge QA, FLORES 200.

### Metrics

<!-- These are the evaluation metrics being used, ideally with a description of why. -->

We report accuracy on MMLU, ARC, OBQA, CSQA, PIQA, SIQA, HellaSwag, WinoGrande.
We report exact match on TriviaQA, NQ and MKQA.
We report BLEU on FLORES.

## Usage tips

`Helium` can be found on the [Huggingface Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?other=helium)

In the following, we demonstrate how to use `helium-1-preview` for the inference.

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

>>> model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("kyutai/helium-1-preview-2b", device_map="auto")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("kyutai/helium-1-preview-2b")

>>> prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."

>>> model_inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

>>> generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs.input_ids, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=True)

>>> generated_ids = [output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)]

>>> response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
```
