News#

• 2025.06.06: We released the dots.llm1 series. Check our report for more details!

1. Introduction#

The dots.llm1 model is a large-scale MoE model that activates 14B parameters out of a total of 142B parameters, delivering performance on par with state-of-the-art models. Leveraging our meticulously crafted and efficient data processing pipeline, dots.llm1 achieves performance comparable to Qwen2.5-72B after pretrained on high-quality corpus without synthetic data. To foster further research, we open-source intermediate training checkpoints spanning the entire training process, providing valuable insights into the learning dynamics of large language models.

2. Model Summary#

This repo contains the base and instruction-tuned dots.llm1 model. which has the following features:

• Type: A MoE model with 14B activated and 142B total parameters trained on high-quality corpus.
• Training Stages: Pretraining and SFT.
• Architecture: Multi-head Attention with QK-Norm in attention Layer, fine-grained MoE utilizing top-6 out of 128 routed experts, plus 2 shared experts.
• Number of Layers: 62
• Number of Attention Heads: 32
• Supported Languages: English, Chinese
• Context Length: 32,768 tokens
• License: MIT

The highlights from dots.llm1 include:

• Enhanced Data Processing: We propose a scalable and fine-grained three-stage data processing framework designed to generate large-scale, high-quality and diverse data for pretraining.
• No Synthetic Data during Pretraining: High-quality non-synthetic tokens was used in base model pretraining.
• Performance and Cost Efficiency: dots.llm1 is an open-source model that activates only 14B parameters at inference, delivering both comprehensive capabilities and high computational efficiency.
• Infrastructure: We introduce an innovative MoE all-to-all communication and computation overlapping recipe based on interleaved 1F1B pipeline scheduling and an efficient grouped GEMM implementation to boost computational efficiency.
• Open Accessibility to Model Dynamics: Intermediate model checkpoints are released spanning the entire training process, facilitating future research into the learning dynamics of large language models.

3. Example Usage#

Model Downloads#

Docker (recommended)#

The docker images are available on Docker Hub, based on the official images.

You can start a server via vllm.

docker run --gpus all \
    -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
    -p 8000:8000 \
    --ipc=host \
    rednotehilab/dots1:vllm-openai-v0.9.0.1 \
    --model rednote-hilab/dots.llm1.inst \
    --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --served-model-name dots1

Then you can verify whether the model is running successfully in the following way.

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "dots1",
        "messages": [
            {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
            {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"}
        ],
        "max_tokens": 32,
        "temperature": 0
    }'

Inference with huggingface#

We are working to merge it into Transformers (PR #38143).

Text Completion#

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

model_name = "rednote-hilab/dots.llm1.base"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

text = "An attention function can be described as mapping a query and a set of key-value pairs to an output, where the query, keys, values, and output are all vectors. The output is"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=100)
result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(result)

Chat Completion#

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

model_name = "rednote-hilab/dots.llm1.inst"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, device_map="auto", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a piece of quicksort code in C++"}
]
input_tensor = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_tensor.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=200)

result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][input_tensor.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(result)

Inference with vllm#

vLLM is a high-throughput and memory-efficient inference and serving engine for LLMs. Official support for this feature is covered in PR #18254.

vllm serve dots.llm1.inst --port 8000 --tensor-parallel-size 8

An OpenAI-compatible API will be available at http://localhost:8000/v1.

Inference with sglang#

SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models. SGLang could be used to launch a server with OpenAI-compatible API service. Official support for this feature is covered in PR #6471.

Getting started is as simple as running:

python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path dots.llm1.inst --tp 8 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

An OpenAI-compatible API will be available at http://localhost:8000/v1.
