Investigation of discrepancies between vLLM and Huggingface Llama 2 generation

attn_mask_bug.py

"""
An explanation for discrepancies between three different ways of generating tokens with Llama-2-7b-chat-hf:
1. Huggingface's `model.generate` defaults to using a mask with a zero in the first position and ones elsewhere.*
2. Huggingface `model.forward` defaults to using a mask with all ones.
3. VLLM defaults to using a mask with all ones, matching Huggingface `model.forward` but not `model.generate`.

* Why? I think maybe HF generate is excluding the BOS <s> token. Is this correct? I don't know!

I ran with:
- transformers 4.34.0
- vllm 0.2.0
