Logits from generate and model call different
I am trying to obtain the likelihood of a given sentence under a model.TL,DR: The logits don’t match when generating a sentence and when evaluation it. Notingsentence = prompt + response(in pseudo code):model.generate(prompt).logits ! = model(sentence, labels=sentence).logits[prompt_len:]I wrote down my example in full code:import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

torch.set_printoptions(linewidth=200)


def main():
    ###### SET UP ######
    # tokenizer
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(MODEL_NAME, cache_dir=model_dir)
    tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token

    # model
    config = AutoConfig.from_pretrained(MODEL_NAME)
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(MODEL_NAME, config=config, cache_dir=model_dir)

    # we will have prompt and response. sentence = prompt + response
    prompt_text = "Until 1988, Germany was "
    prompt_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt_text, return_tensors="pt")
    prompt_length = prompt_ids.shape[1]

    generation_config = GenerationConfig(
        max_length=20,
        temperature=TEMPERATURE,
        renomalize_logits=True,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id,
        eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
        return_dict_in_generate=True,
        output_scores=True,
        output_logits=True,
    )

    ###### LOGITS DURING GENERATION ######
    with torch.inference_mode():
        # Generate output sequence
        outputs = model.generate(
            inputs=prompt_ids,
            generation_config=generation_config,
        )

    # get logits: batch x tokens x vocab
    logits = torch.stack(outputs.logits, dim=1)

    # get sentence and response as ids and text
    sentence_ids = outputs.sequences

    ###### LOGITS EXISTING SENTENCE ######
    # forward pass to get logits
    with torch.inference_mode():
        outputs = model(sentence_ids, labels=sentence_ids)

    # get logits: batch x tokens x vocab
    logits_post_hoc = outputs.logits[:, prompt_length:, :]
    print(f"Shape of Logits from Generation: {logits.shape} Evaluation: {logits_post_hoc.shape}")

    ###### COMPARE LOGITS ######

    logits_are_close = torch.isclose(logits, logits_post_hoc, atol=1e-6, rtol=1e-6).all().item()
    print(f"Logits are close: {logits_are_close}")

    print("#### LOGITS GENERATION ####")
    n_tokens = 3
    n_logits = 10
    print(logits[:, :n_tokens, :n_logits])
    print("#### LOGITS EVALUATION ####")
    print(logits_post_hoc[:, :n_tokens, :n_logits])

    print("#### MAX PER TOKEN ####")
    print(f"\t Generation: {logits.max(-1).values}")
    print(f"\t Evaluation: {logits_post_hoc.max(-1).values}")

    l2_diff = torch.norm(logits - logits_post_hoc, p=2)
    l_inf_diff = torch.norm(logits - logits_post_hoc, p=float("inf"))
    print(f"L2 Norm: {l2_diff.item()} L_inf Norm: {l_inf_diff.item()}")
