RoBERTa

RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach) is an optimized version of BERT that improves upon the original model through changes to the training methodology and data. It removes the next-sentence prediction objective and is trained with larger batches, more data, and a dynamic masking pattern. RBLN NPUs can accelerate RoBERTa model inference using Optimum RBLN.

RBLNRobertaForMaskedLM

Bases: RBLNModelForMaskedLM

RBLN optimized RoBERTa model for masked language modeling tasks.

This class provides hardware-accelerated inference for RoBERTa models on RBLN devices, supporting masked language modeling tasks such as token prediction and text completion.

Functions

from_pretrained(model_id, export=None, rbln_config=None, **kwargs) classmethod

The from_pretrained() function is utilized in its standard form as in the HuggingFace transformers library. User can use this function to load a pre-trained model from the HuggingFace library and convert it to a RBLN model to be run on RBLN NPUs.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
model_id	Union[str, Path]	The model id of the pre-trained model to be loaded. It can be downloaded from the HuggingFace model hub or a local path, or a model id of a compiled model using the RBLN Compiler.	required
export	Optional[bool]	A boolean flag to indicate whether the model should be compiled. If None, it will be determined based on the existence of the compiled model files in the model_id.	None
rbln_config	Optional[Union[Dict, RBLNModelConfig]]	Configuration for RBLN model compilation and runtime. This can be provided as a dictionary or an instance of the model's configuration class (e.g., RBLNLlamaForCausalLMConfig for Llama models). For detailed configuration options, see the specific model's configuration class documentation.	None
kwargs	Any	Additional keyword arguments. Arguments with the prefix rbln_ are passed to rbln_config, while the remaining arguments are passed to the HuggingFace library.	{}

Returns:

Type	Description
RBLNModel	A RBLN model instance ready for inference on RBLN NPU devices.

kwargs	Any	Additional keyword arguments. Arguments with the prefix rbln_ are passed to rbln_config, while the remaining arguments are passed to the HuggingFace library.	{}

The method performs the following steps:

1. Compiles the PyTorch model into an optimized RBLN graph
2. Configures the model for the specified NPU device
