JSON Deserialization Error When Trying To Run Gemma Through Vertex AI

[18goldr]

Checked other resources

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I searched the LangChain documentation with the integrated search.
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it.
• I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain rather than my code.
• The bug is not resolved by updating to the latest stable version of LangChain (or the specific integration package).

Example Code

I am using the exact example provided here:

from langchain_google_vertexai import GemmaVertexAIModelGarden

llm = GemmaVertexAIModelGarden(
    endpoint_id=VERTEX_AI_ENDPOINT_ID,
    project=VERTEX_AI_PROJECT,
    location=VERTEX_AI_LOCATION,
)

output = llm.invoke("What is the meaning of life?")
print(output)

Description

I'm trying to use the langchain library to use Gemma2-9b-it from Google Vertex AI.

I expect it to do what's in the tutorial (ie. print the output).

Instead, it prints an error about deserialization of JSON.

transferring to the google repo - @lkuligin could you take a look?

[lkuligin]

how did you deploy the model?
I've just tried with gemma-2-2b-it and it seems to be working fine on my side

P.S. the only different is that I have langchain_core 0.2.28.

[18goldr]

Hm yeah I had a colleague try out the code with his machine and he also had no issues. So it seems like it might just be an issue with my machine.

Additionally, I tried downgrading langchain_core to 0.2.28 and still no luck.

Any ideas on how I could go about resolving this?

We deployed it using the deploy button in GCP with the following settings:

Resource ID: google/gemma2-9b-it
Model name: google_gemma2-9b-it-1723463184061
Endpoint name: google_gemma2-9b-it-mg-one-click-deploy

[lkuligin]

Could you try setting up a clean pyenv from scratch, please?

[18goldr]

Could you try setting up a clean pyenv from scratch, please?

Unfortunately, I already tried that and got the same error.

Hi, I just reviewed this issue with my coworker and it turns out it doesn't work for him. I was mistaken before when I said it worked for him.

This is his system information:

If you run llm._prepare_request(["What is the meaning of live?"]), how does the output look like?

[18goldr]

It doesn't give any error. If I print the output from that command, I get the following:

[struct_value {
  fields {
    key: "prompt"
    value {
      string_value: "What is the meaning of live?"
    }
  }
}
]

Which is in fact missing the "inputs" key, if that's part of the issue...

Hi, I had the same issue, even though I had the code working previously. It was because VertexAI changed its API and there is a new scheme for parsing the input payload - of course they did not mention it in docs or examples.

So here's a solution I used. I've implemented my own model and content handlers for this to work:

from langchain_core.language_models.llms import LLM
from pydantic import Extra, root_validator

class GemmaContentHandler:
    @staticmethod
    def transform_input(prompt: str, model_kwargs: Dict[Any, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        input_payload = {"inputs": prompt, **model_kwargs}
        return input_payload

    @staticmethod
    def transform_output(output: Prediction) -> str:
        # TODO
       return output.predictions[0]



class GemmaLLMModel(LLM):
    client: Any = None

    endpoint_id: str = ""

    region_name: str = ""

    credentials_profile_name: Optional[str] = None

    content_handler: GemmaContentHandler
    """The content handler class that provides an input and
    output transform functions to handle formats between LLM
    and the endpoint.
    """

    streaming: bool = False
    """Whether to stream the results."""

    model_kwargs: Optional[Dict[Any, Any]] = None
    """Keyword arguments to pass to the model."""

    endpoint_kwargs: Optional[Dict[Any, Any]] = None

    class Config:
        """Configuration for this pydantic object."""

        extra = Extra.forbid

    @root_validator()
    def validate_environment(cls, values: Dict[Any, Any]) -> Dict[Any, Any]:
        """Don't do anything if client provided externally"""
        if values.get("client") is not None:
            return values

        """Validate GCP credentials."""
        # TODO: Implement this
        return values

    @property
    def _identifying_params(self) -> Mapping[str, Any]:
        """Get the identifying parameters."""
        _model_kwargs = self.model_kwargs or {}
        return {
            **{"endpoint_name": self.endpoint_id},
            **{"model_kwargs": _model_kwargs},
        }

    @property
    def _llm_type(self) -> str:
        """Return type of llm."""
        return "vertexai_custom_endpoint"

    def _call(
        self,
        prompt: str,
        stop: Optional[List[str]] = None,
        run_manager: Optional[CallbackManagerForLLMRun] = None,
        **kwargs: Any,
    ) -> str:
        """Call out to VertexAI online prediction endpoint.

        Args:
            prompt: The prompt to pass into the model.
            stop: Optional list of stop words to use when generating.

        Returns:
            The string generated by the model.

        Example:
            .. code-block:: python

                response = se("Tell me a joke.")
        """
        _model_kwargs = self.model_kwargs or {}
        _model_kwargs = {**_model_kwargs, **kwargs}

        body = self.content_handler.transform_input(prompt, _model_kwargs)

        try:
            endpoint = aiplatform.Endpoint(self.endpoint_id)
            response = endpoint.predict(instances=[body])
        except Exception as e:
            raise ValueError(f"Error raised by inference endpoint: {e}")

        text = self.content_handler.transform_output(response)

        return text
