# Arcee
Arcee is a decoder-only transformer model based on the Llama architecture with a key modification: it uses ReLU² (ReLU-squared) activation in the MLP blocks instead of SiLU, following recent research showing improved training efficiency with squared activations. This architecture is designed for efficient training and inference while maintaining the proven stability of the Llama design.
The Arcee model is architecturally similar to Llama but uses `x * relu(x)` in MLP layers for improved gradient flow and is optimized for efficiency in both training and inference scenarios.
> [!TIP]
> The Arcee model supports extended context with RoPE scaling and all standard transformers features including Flash Attention 2, SDPA, gradient checkpointing, and quantization support.
The example below demonstrates how to generate text with Arcee using [`Pipeline`] or the [`AutoModel`].
```py
import torch
from transformers import pipeline
pipeline = pipeline(
task="text-generation",
model="arcee-ai/AFM-4.5B",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device=0
)
output = pipeline("The key innovation in Arcee is")
print(output[0]["generated_text"])
```
```py
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, ArceeForCausalLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("arcee-ai/AFM-4.5B")
model = ArceeForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
"arcee-ai/AFM-4.5B",
torch_dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto"
)
inputs = tokenizer("The key innovation in Arcee is", return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=50)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
