This gives the option of specifying your own
PreTrainedTokenizer
instance rather than specifying a model name and having outlines construct the tokenizer for you. This might be convenient for situations where you are already using the LLM in other parts of your application and only need outlines for a specific use case.Example of use:
As compared to before this change:
This also corrects a type annotation on the
outlines.models.transformers.Transformer
class which incorrectly stated that thetokenizer
argument was of typetransformers.PreTrainedTokenizer
when actually it should be of typeoutlines.models.transformers.TransformerTokenizer
. In order to fix the annotation, the classes also had to be rearranged so that the name of the other class would be defined at the right time.
