Vicuna

In this directory, you will find examples on how you could apply BigDL-LLM INT4 optimizations on Vicuna models. For illustration purposes, we utilize the lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3 and eachadea/vicuna-7b-1.1 as reference Vicuna models.

0. Requirements

To run these examples with BigDL-LLM, we have some recommended requirements for your machine, please refer to here for more information.

Example: Predict Tokens using generate() API

In the example generate.py, we show a basic use case for a Vicuna model to predict the next N tokens using generate() API, with BigDL-LLM INT4 optimizations.

1. Install

We suggest using conda to manage environment:

conda create -n llm python=3.9
conda activate llm

pip install bigdl-llm[all] # install bigdl-llm with 'all' option

2. Run

python ./generate.py --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH --prompt PROMPT --n-predict N_PREDICT

Arguments info:

  • --repo-id-or-model-path REPO_ID_OR_MODEL_PATH: argument defining the huggingface repo id for the Vicuna model (e.g. lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3 and eachadea/vicuna-7b-1.1) to be downloaded, or the path to the huggingface checkpoint folder. It is default to be 'lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3'.
  • --prompt PROMPT: argument defining the prompt to be infered (with integrated prompt format for chat). It is default to be 'What is AI?'.
  • --n-predict N_PREDICT: argument defining the max number of tokens to predict. It is default to be 32.

Note: When loading the model in 4-bit, BigDL-LLM converts linear layers in the model into INT4 format. In theory, a XB model saved in 16-bit will requires approximately 2X GB of memory for loading, and ~0.5X GB memory for further inference.

Please select the appropriate size of the Vicuna model based on the capabilities of your machine.

2.1 Client

On client Windows machine, it is recommended to run directly with full utilization of all cores:

python ./generate.py

2.2 Server

For optimal performance on server, it is recommended to set several environment variables (refer to here for more information), and run the example with all the physical cores of a single socket.

E.g. on Linux,

# set BigDL-Nano env variables
source bigdl-nano-init

# e.g. for a server with 48 cores per socket
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=48
numactl -C 0-47 -m 0 python ./generate.py
