max_new_tokens and max_length conflict

Open meg-huggingface opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Setting up the Hugging Face Open LLM Leaderboard to use the realtoxicityprompts task through simple_evaluate. Keep receiving this warning:

Running generate_until requests: 0%| | 13/99442 [10:42<1539:30:14, 55.74s/it] Both max_new_tokens(=2048) andmax_length(=302) seem to have been set. max_new_tokens will take precedence. Please refer to the documentation for more information. (https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/main_classes/text_generation)

I have not set max_new_tokens nor max_length on my end; it looks to me like max_new_tokens is being set with a default value of 2048 in the Harness code. This is overriding max_length, which looks to be a more reasonable value defined per-instance when running the realtoxicity task.
