Chat with Meta's LLaMA models at home made easy

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 Venuatu's repo: https://github.com/venuatu/llama

Examples of chats here

System requirements

• Modern enough CPU
• NVIDIA graphics card
• 64 or better 128 Gb of RAM (192 or 256 would be perfect)

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 12700k/128 Gb RAM/NVIDIA 3070ti 8Gb/fast huge nvme 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 powerful videocard, you may use another repo for cpu-only inference: https://github.com/randaller/llama-cpu

Conda Environment Setup Example for Windows 10+

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

Setup

In a conda env with pytorch / cuda available, run

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then in this repository

pip install -e .

Prepare model

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.

Run the chat

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

Enable multi-line answers

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.

Typical generation with prompt (not a chat)

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

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