The name of the model from the Luminous model family. Models and their respective architectures can differ in parameter size and capabilities. The most recent version of the model is always used. The model output contains information as to the model version.
Possible values: [aleph-alpha
, null
]
Optional paramter that specifies which datacenters may process the request.
You can either set the parameter to "aleph-alpha" or omit it (defaulting to null
).
Not setting this value, or setting it to null
, gives us maximal flexibility in processing your request in our
own datacenters and on servers hosted with other providers. Choose this option for maximum availability.
Setting it to "aleph-alpha" allows us to only process the request in our own datacenters. Choose this option for maximal data privacy.
prompt object required
This field is used to send prompts to the model. A prompt can either be a text prompt or a multimodal prompt. A text prompt is a string of text. A multimodal prompt is an array of prompt items. It can be a combination of text, images, and token ID arrays.
In the case of a multimodal prompt, the prompt items will be concatenated and a single prompt will be used for the model.
Tokenization:
string
Possible values: [text
]
controls object[]
Starting character index to apply the factor to.
The amount of characters to apply the factor to.
Factor to apply to the given token in the attention matrix.
Possible values: [partial
, complete
]
Default value: partial
What to do if a control partially overlaps with a text token.
If set to "partial", the factor will be adjusted proportionally with the amount of the token it overlaps. So a factor of 2.0 of a control that only covers 2 of 4 token characters, would be adjusted to 1.5. (It always moves closer to 1, since 1 is an identiy operation for control factors.)
If set to "complete", the full factor will be applied as long as the control overlaps with the token at all.
Possible values: [image
]
An image send as part of a prompt to a model. The image is represented as base64.
Note: The models operate on square images. All non-square images are center-cropped before going to the model, so portions of the image may not be visible.
You can supply specific cropping parameters if you like, to choose a different area of the image than a center-crop. Or, you can always transform the image yourself to a square before sending it.
x-coordinate of top left corner of cropping box in pixels
y-coordinate of top left corner of cropping box in pixels
Size of the cropping square in pixels
controls object[]
rect objectrequired
Bounding box in logical coordinates. From 0 to 1. With (0,0) being the upper left corner, and relative to the entire image.
Keep in mind, non-square images are center-cropped by default before going to the model. (You can specify a custom cropping if you want.). Since control coordinates are relative to the entire image, all or a portion of your control may be outside the "model visible area".
x-coordinate of top left corner of the control bounding box. Must be a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is the left corner and 1 is the right corner.
y-coordinate of top left corner of the control bounding box Must be a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is the top pixel row and 1 is the bottom row.
width of the control bounding box Must be a value between 0 and 1, where 1 means the full width of the image.
height of the control bounding box Must be a value between 0 and 1, where 1 means the full height of the image.
Factor to apply to the given token in the attention matrix.
Possible values: [partial
, complete
]
Default value: partial
What to do if a control partially overlaps with an image token.
If set to "partial", the factor will be adjusted proportionally with the amount of the token it overlaps. So a factor of 2.0 of a control that only covers half of the image "tile", would be adjusted to 1.5. (It always moves closer to 1, since 1 is an identiy operation for control factors.)
If set to "complete", the full factor will be applied as long as the control overlaps with the token at all.
Possible values: [token_ids
]
controls object[]
Index of the token, relative to the list of tokens IDs in the current prompt item.
Factor to apply to the given token in the attention matrix.
The maximum number of tokens to be generated. Completion will terminate after the maximum number of tokens is reached.
Increase this value to generate longer texts. A text is split into tokens. Usually there are more tokens than words. The sum of input tokens and maximum_tokens may not exceed 2048.
Generate at least this number of tokens before an end-of-text token is generated.
Default value: false
Echo the prompt in the completion. This may be especially helpful when log_probs is set to return logprobs for the prompt.
A higher sampling temperature encourages the model to produce less probable outputs ("be more creative"). Values are expected in a range from 0.0 to 1.0. Try high values (e.g., 0.9) for a more "creative" response and the default 0.0 for a well defined and repeatable answer. It is advised to use either temperature, top_k, or top_p, but not all three at the same time. If a combination of temperature, top_k or top_p is used, rescaling of logits with temperature will be performed first. Then top_k is applied. Top_p follows last.
Introduces random sampling for generated tokens by randomly selecting the next token from the k most likely options. A value larger than 1 encourages the model to be more creative. Set to 0.0 if repeatable output is desired. It is advised to use either temperature, top_k, or top_p, but not all three at the same time. If a combination of temperature, top_k or top_p is used, rescaling of logits with temperature will be performed first. Then top_k is applied. Top_p follows last.
Introduces random sampling for generated tokens by randomly selecting the next token from the smallest possible set of tokens whose cumulative probability exceeds the probability top_p. Set to 0.0 if repeatable output is desired. It is advised to use either temperature, top_k, or top_p, but not all three at the same time. If a combination of temperature, top_k or top_p is used, rescaling of logits with temperature will be performed first. Then top_k is applied. Top_p follows last.
The presence penalty reduces the likelihood of generating tokens that are already present in the
generated text (repetition_penalties_include_completion=true
) respectively the prompt (repetition_penalties_include_prompt=true
).
Presence penalty is independent of the number of occurences. Increase the value to reduce the likelihood of repeating text.
An operation like the following is applied:
logits[t] -> logits[t] - 1 * penalty
where logits[t]
is the logits for any given token. Note that the formula is independent of the number of times
that a token appears.
The frequency penalty reduces the likelihood of generating tokens that are already present in the
generated text (repetition_penalties_include_completion=true
) respectively the prompt (repetition_penalties_include_prompt=true
).
If repetition_penalties_include_prompt=True
, this also includes the tokens in the prompt.
Frequency penalty is dependent on the number of occurences of a token.
An operation like the following is applied:
logits[t] -> logits[t] - count[t] * penalty
where logits[t]
is the logits for any given token and count[t]
is the number of times that token appears.
Increasing the sequence penalty reduces the likelihood of reproducing token sequences that already appear in the prompt (if repetition_penalties_include_prompt is True) and prior completion.
Default value: 2
Minimal number of tokens to be considered as sequence
Default value: false
Flag deciding whether presence penalty or frequency penalty are updated from tokens in the prompt
Default value: true
Flag deciding whether presence penalty or frequency penalty are updated from tokens in the completion
Default value: false
Flag deciding whether presence penalty is applied multiplicatively (True) or additively (False). This changes the formula stated for presence penalty.
Default value: false
Flag deciding whether frequency penalty is applied multiplicatively (True) or additively (False). This changes the formula stated for frequency penalty.
Default value: false
Flag deciding whether sequence penalty is applied multiplicatively (True) or additively (False).
All tokens in this text will be used in addition to the already penalized tokens for repetition penalties. These consist of the already generated completion tokens and the prompt tokens, if repetition_penalties_include_prompt
is set to true
.
List of strings that may be generated without penalty, regardless of other penalty settings.
By default, we will also include any stop_sequences
you have set, since completion performance can be degraded if expected stop sequences are penalized.
You can disable this behavior by setting penalty_exceptions_include_stop_sequences
to false
.
Default value: true
By default we include all stop_sequences
in penalty_exceptions
, so as not to penalise the presence of stop sequences that are present in few-shot prompts to give structure to your completions.
You can set this to false
if you do not want this behaviour.
See the description of penalty_exceptions
for more information on what penalty_exceptions
are used for.
Possible values: <= 100
Default value: 1
If a value is given, the number of best_of
completions will be generated on the server side. The completion with the highest log probability per token is returned. If the parameter n
is greater than 1 more than 1 (n
) completions will be returned. best_of
must be strictly greater than n
.
Default value: 1
The number of completions to return. If argmax sampling is used (temperature, top_k, top_p are all default) the same completions will be produced. This parameter should only be increased if random sampling is used.
Number of top log probabilities for each token generated. Log probabilities can be used in downstream tasks or to assess the model's certainty when producing tokens. No log probabilities are returned if set to None. Log probabilites of generated tokens are returned if set to 0. Log probabilities of generated tokens and top n log probabilites are returned if set to n.
List of strings that will stop generation if they're generated. Stop sequences may be helpful in structured texts.
Default value: false
Flag indicating whether individual tokens of the completion should be returned (True) or whether solely the generated text (i.e. the completion) is sufficient (False).
Default value: false
Setting this parameter to true forces the raw completion of the model to be returned. For some models, we may optimize the completion that was generated by the model and return the optimized completion in the completion field of the CompletionResponse. The raw completion, if returned, will contain the un-optimized completion. Setting tokens to true or log_probs to any value will also trigger the raw completion to be returned.
Default value: false
We continually research optimal ways to work with our models. By default, we apply these optimizations to both your prompt and completion for you.
Our goal is to improve your results while using our API. But you can always pass disable_optimizations: true
and we will leave your prompt and completion untouched.
Default value: ``
Bias the completion to only generate options within this list; all other tokens are disregarded at sampling
Note that strings in the inclusion list must not be prefixes of strings in the exclusion list and vice versa
Default value: false
Only consider the first token for the completion_bias_inclusion
Default value: ``
Bias the completion to NOT generate options within this list; all other tokens are unaffected in sampling
Note that strings in the inclusion list must not be prefixes of strings in the exclusion list and vice versa
Default value: false
Only consider the first token for the completion_bias_exclusion
If set to null
, attention control parameters only apply to those tokens that have
explicitly been set in the request.
If set to a non-null value, we apply the control parameters to similar tokens as well.
Controls that have been applied to one token will then be applied to all other tokens
that have at least the similarity score defined by this parameter.
The similarity score is the cosine similarity of token embeddings.
Default value: true
true
: apply controls on prompt items by adding the log(control_factor)
to attention scores.
false
: apply controls on prompt items by (attention_scores - -attention_scores.min(-1)) * control_factor
