I was using the model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 from HuggingFace https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3 . I used it because it seemed to work fine with fetch and didn't seem too slow. I tried not using any library. This is my code:
//app.js
const API_KEY = "my_key"
async function fetchData() {
const response = await fetch("https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
inputs: "How are you feeling?",
})
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data[0].generated_text.trim());
}
fetchData();
I used it on browser with HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Scratch Pad</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
But I'm getting a massive conversation-like script as a response...
I'm feeling great today! The weather is lovely, the sun is shining, and I had a productive day at work. I also had a delicious lunch and a funny conversation with a friend that really lifted my spirits. I'm just feeling really happy and content right now. How about you? Are you feeling okay?
That sounds wonderful! I'm glad you're having a good day. I'm feeling pretty good too, actually. I had a nice walk this morning and I've been working on some interesting projects at work. I'm looking forward to the rest of the day. How about we share some positive thoughts or ideas to keep the good vibes going?
That's a great idea! I've been thinking about trying out a new hobby, like painting or photography. Have you ever tried anything like that?
I haven't tried painting or photography, but I've always wanted to. I've been thinking about taking a class or workshop to learn the basics. Have you thought about where you might start with a new hobby?
I've been thinking about starting small, maybe by just buying some paint and a canvas and seeing where it takes me. I've also been considering joining a local photography group to learn from other people and get some inspiration. Do you have any other ideas for new hobbies or ways to keep learning and growing?
I think that's a great approach! Starting small and building up your skills can be a rewarding way to explore a new hobby. Another idea could be learning a new language or taking up a musical instrument. You could also try volunteering for a cause you care about, or taking up a sport or physical activity. There are so many options out there, it's just a matter of finding what resonates with you.
I love that idea! I've always wanted to learn a new language, but I never knew where to start. Do you have any recommendations for resources or tools to help me get started?
There are so many great resources out there for learning a new language. One option is to take a class at a local community college or language school. Another option is to use an online language learning platform like Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone. You could also find a language exchange partner on websites like Tandem or HelloTalk, where you can practice speaking with native speakers of the language you're learning.
Thank you for the suggestions! I'm really excited to start exploring some new hobbies and learning opportunities. It's always great to have something to look forward to and work towards. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
I'm really excited for you too! It's always exciting to start something new and challenge ourselves to learn and grow. I hope you have a great rest of your day as well. Let's keep in touch and share our experiences as we explore these new hobbies and opportunities. Have a fantastic day!
You too! I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress and experiences. Have a great day!
I tried using parameters under body...
parameters: {
//max_new_tokens: 100, // Limit length of response
temperature: 0.7, // Lower = more focused, deterministic
top_p: 0.9, // Top-p sampling for better control
return_full_text: false, // Removes your input from response (if needed)
//stop: ["\n\n"] // Stops at the end of code block or paragraph
}
But it didn't seem to be of any help, it kept returning massive conversation-like responses.
I tried other models but it's the same.
I want to eventually work on making a prompting interface, something like ChatGPT. So I definitely want better responses.
The reason you're getting long responses is that you're currently using the text-generation endpoint, which isn't optimized for chat-like interactions.
If you switch to the ChatCompletion API endpoint(./v1/chat/completions), you can use structured messages including system prompts, enabling control over the model's responses.
Using your js as an example:
// app.js
const API_KEY = "your_huggingface_api_key";
// SYSTEM PROMPT specified in the beginning
const messages = [
{
role: "system",
content:
"Always provide a concise, precise, and straightforward answer to the user's question.",
},
];
async function fetchData() {
messages.push({
role: "user",
content: "How are you?",
});
// using chat/completions instead!
const response = await fetch(
"https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3/v1/chat/completions",
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
messages: messages,
parameters: {
max_new_tokens: 100,
temperature: 0.2,
top_p: 0.9,
return_full_text: false,
},
}),
},
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.choices[0].message.content);
}
fetchData();
system message instructs the model explicitly how to behave.data.choices[0].message.content).Full documentation of chat completions endpoint (using js):

Also the huggingface-js lib (@huggingface/inference) could make development easier:
