This repository is a chat example with LLaMA (arXiv) models running on a typical home PC. You will just need a NVIDIA videocard and some RAM to chat with model.

This repo is heavily based on Meta's original repo: https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama

And on Steve Manuatu's repo: https://github.com/venuatu/llama

And on Shawn Presser's repo: https://github.com/shawwn/llama

• Modern enough CPU
• NVIDIA graphics card (2 Gb of VRAM is ok)
• 64 or better 128 Gb of RAM (192 would be perfect for 65B model)

One may run with 32 Gb of RAM, but inference will be slow (with the speed of your swap file reading)

I am running this on a [12700k/128 Gb RAM/NVIDIA 3070ti 8Gb/fast huge nvme with 256 Gb swap for 65B model] and getting one token from 30B model in a few seconds.

For example, 30B model uses around 70 Gb of RAM. 7B model fits into 18 Gb. 13B model uses 48 Gb.

If you do not have nvidia videocard, you may use another repo for cpu-only inference: https://github.com/randaller/llama-cpu

Download and install Anaconda Python https://www.anaconda.com and run Anaconda Prompt

conda create -n llama python=3.10
conda activate llama
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia

In a conda env with pytorch / cuda available, run

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then in this repository

pip install -e .

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ZXXDAUWYLRUXXBHUYEMS6Q5CE5WA3LVA&dn=LLaMA

or

magnet:xt=urn:btih:b8287ebfa04f879b048d4d4404108cf3e8014352&dn=LLaMA&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce

First, you need to unshard model checkpoints to a single file. Let's do this for 30B model.

python merge-weights.py --input_dir D:\Downloads\LLaMA --model_size 30B

In this example, D:\Downloads\LLaMA is a root folder of downloaded torrent with weights.

This will create merged.pth file in the root folder of this repo.

Place this file and corresponding (torrentroot)/30B/params.json of model into [/model] folder.

So you should end up with two files in [/model] folder: merged.pth and params.json.

Place (torrentroot)/tokenizer.model file to the [/tokenizer] folder of this repo. Now you are ready to go.

python example-chat.py ./model ./tokenizer/tokenizer.model

Temperature is one of the key parameters of generation. You may wish to play with temperature. The more temperature is, the model will use more "creativity", and the less temperature instruct model to be "less creative", but following your prompt stronger.

Repetition penalty is a feature implemented by Shawn Presser. With this, the model will be fined, when it would like to enter to repetion loop state. Set this parameter to 1.0, if you wish to disable this feature.

Samplers

By default, Meta provided us with top_p sampler only. Again, Shawn added an alternate top_k sampler, which (in my tests) performs pretty well. If you wish to switch to top_k sampler, use the following parameters:

temperature: float = 0.7,
top_p: float = 0.0,
top_k: int = 40,
sampler: str = 'top_k',

For sure, you may play with all the values to get different outputs.

Launch examples

One may modify these hyperparameters straight in the code. But it is better to leave the defaults in code and set the parameters of experiments in the launch line.

# Run with top_p sampler, with temperature 0.75, with top_p value 0.95, repetition penalty disabled
python example-chat.py ./model ./tokenizer/tokenizer.model 0.75 0.95 0 1.0 top_p

# Run with top_k sampler, with temperature 0.7, with top_k value 40, default repetition penalty value
python example-chat.py ./model ./tokenizer/tokenizer.model 0.7 0.0 40 1.17 top_k

Of course, this is also applicable to a [python example.py] as well (see below).

If you wish to stop generation not by "\n" sign, but by another signature, like "User:" (which is also good idea), or any other, make the following modification in the llama/generation.py:

-5 means to remove last 5 chars from resulting context, which is length of your stop signature, "User:" in this example.

Simply comment three lines in llama/generation.py to turn it to a generator back.

python example.py ./model ./tokenizer/tokenizer.model
