Summary

PlaylandLLM is a set of python tools to simplify inference testing of text-generation LLM models locally in your computer without the need of 3rd party paid APIs

  • Encapsulate Pytorch and Transformers complexities of dealing with large models with limited resources
  • Loading and inference for GPU, CPU, datatypes FP32, FP16, INT8, quantization, spread accross devices, etc.
  • Support for PEFT adapters models
  • Support for bitsandbytes, accelerate
  • Test any Huggingface models from the community from different families GPT-J, Pythia, Bloom, LLaMA, Vicuna, Alpaca, or any other LLM supported by Huggingface's transformer text-generation locally in your computer without the need of 3rd party paid APIs or keys.
  • Compare text generation model outputs and performance, memory footprint, tokens/sec.
  • Command line readline interface CLI to interactively enter prompts, change runtime model paramenters, chat from terminal. History, tab completion... Easy to add more commands.
  • Loading time is critical in testing as model sizes increases. Load the model once, interact with it while keeping in memory.
  • Logging subsystem for model outputs, chat outputs, etc. it will save responses locally in txt files that can easily check it later
  • Testing framework to test several models & prompts offline
  • Interactive chat mode with simple memory for chatbot-like experience
  • Auto chat mode to generate an auto-conversation
  • Use your own prompt database and throw it at the models you want to test
  • Audio TTS Output in Spanish or English thanks to snakers4/silero-models

Installing

pip install -r requirements.txt

Requirements

  • torch==2.0.0
  • transformers==4.28.1
  • peft==0.3.0
  • accelerate==0.18.0
  • bitsandbytes==0.37.2

Note that there's a bug in 0.38.0 you must use 0.37.2 to avoid out of memory errors (TimDettmers/bitsandbytes#324)

Usage

You can use it interactively through CLI and command line or configure your automation within code. Code is easy to read and all the important variables are global in capital. As minimum setup you need to edit a few parameters controlling the basics:

  • Edit playlandllm.py as you see fit
  • Add custom models to text_models.py for easy reuse
  • Specify model and device to use
  • Fine tune other parameters such as language, audio output (TTS), max lengths...
  • Launch in interactive mode single model interactivity with inference (default mode) or
  • Launch in Testing mode, run tests on a list of models

Command line

usage: playlandllm.py [-h]
                      [--model <model_name>]
                      [--device {CUDA,CUDA_FP16,CPU_INT8,CPU,AUTO}]
                      [--prompt [PROMPT]] [--testing]
                      [--test_list_from_file TEST_LIST_FROM_FILE]
                      [--test_models [TEST_MODELS]]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --model               model name
                        model to use
  --device {CUDA,CUDA_FP16,CPU_INT8,CPU,AUTO}
                        device to use
  --prompt [PROMPT]     initial prompt to generate text
  --testing             testing mode
  --test_list_from_file TEST_LIST_FROM_FILE
                        text file containing prompts for testing
  --test_models [TEST_MODELS]
                        list of text models for testing

List of models are defined in text_models.py dict. You can add yours for easy These accept HuggingFace URLs "repo/model_name"

('gpt2-spanish', 'gpt2-small-spanish', 'gpt2-flax-spanish', 'gpt2-deepesp-spanish', 'bertin-gpt-j-6b-half-sharded', 'gptj-bertin-alpaca', 'gptj-bertin-libros', 'gptj-bertin', 'gpt2', 'bloom-7b1', 'bloomz-3b', 'bloom-3b', 'bloom-sd-prompts', 'opt-30b', 'opt-6.7b', 'opt-1.3b', 'gptj', 'gptjt-together', 'gpt-j-6B-alpaca-gpt4', 'pythia-1.4b', 'pythia-2.8b', 'pythia-3b-sft', 'pythia-6.9b', 'flan-alpaca-220m-base', 'flan-alpaca-gpt4-xl', 'WizardLM-7B-Uncensored', 'Vicuna-EvolInstruct-7B', 'GPT-NeoXT-Chat-Base-20B', 'gpt-neox-20b')

Device and accelerator support used for inference

Possible values are

  • AUTO - Default. It will use modelcard's model configuration as defined in text_models.py module
  • CUDA - force Nvidia cuda device if you have GPU capable device. This is the fastest if you have enough GPU VRAM to fit the model parameters
  • CPU_INT8 - use bitsandbytes and accelerate, INT8 quantization and offloading weights, transformers load_in_8bits and other optimizations trying to fit large models in limited resources. This will use CUDA devices as well spreading your modules and parameters accross devices.
  • CPU - use CPU and FP32 fitting everything in RAM, slow

text_models.py have all the templates for lots of HuggingFace models that I've been experimenting with.

Device selection is controlled by this variable, change it to CPU if you don't have CUDA support.

import text_models as tm
USE_DEVICE = tm.DeviceClass.AUTO 

System Setup and expected performance

My system setup is:

  • 32Gb RAM + 64Gb swap, 1 Tbyte SSD
  • 11Gb NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
  • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600K CPU @ 4.10GHz
  • Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

With this I can run inference locally with good performance, especially when using INT8 quantization techniques. For your reference these are the results I'm getting:

  • 13 Billion models and larger GPTX-Neox family - these I can run in CPU only, very slow in my system but I can test it. EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b avg response time is 150-300 secs.
  • 6 Billion models - GPT-J family, Pythia-6B, opt-7B, Vicuna-7B can all run with CPU_INT8 optimizations. Takes time to load model but then inference is <30 secs per prompt.
  • 3 Billion models - these can fit happily in CUDA 11Gb in FP16. Inference is <12 secs. This is the sweet spot for my system, good compromise between quality and performance. Highly usable in interactive mode for chatbots, etc.
  • <1 Billion models GPT-2-like and smaller models, inference is <2 secs.

Model selection

  • A list of models is pre-configured in text_models.py, basically a dictionary with model default parameters. Set MODEL to one of these keys to select model to use for inference.
  • Specify model with --model <model_name> command switch
  • You can edit text_models.py to add the models that you want to test by default
MODEL="gptj-bertin-alpaca"

Testing models

  • In this mode instead of running interactive command-line mode you can test several models sequentially feeding those with a list of prompts.
  • Leave it running offline, system will be logging all outputs and stats.
  • Check and compare outputs and performance. It will save stats and KPIs so you can check real-world inference performance performance and quality of the outputs on your system.
  1. Set DO_TESTING variable to True
DO_TESTING = True
  1. Set a text file containing the list of prompts to feed into the models
TEST_LIST_FROM_FILE = "logic_prompts.txt"
  1. Define the list of models to test in TEST_MODELS_LIST:
TML_COMPLETE_ES = (
    "gpt2-spanish",
    "gpt2-small-spanish-trained",

    "gpt2-small-spanish",
    "gpt2-deepesp-spanish",
    "gpt2-biblioteca-nacional",
    "gpt2-biblioteca-nacional-large",
    "gpt2-flax-spanish",

    "gptj-bertin",
    "gptj-bertin-libros",
    "gptj-bertin-alpaca",
    "bertin-gpt-j-6b-half-sharded"
)

TEST_MODELS_LIST = TML_COMPLETE_ES
  1. Launch and leave it running.
python playlandllm.py
  1. While executing, it will create a folder structure, one folder per model and all prompt tests results as txt files with key info: prompt, output and runtime parameters for your later examination. Example output for a single prompt:

Write a poem about shiba inu pet and his master.
Answer:Slender is the shiba Inu pet, his master's shadowed side. 
He prowls through the night, his body agile 
His quick mind filled with tricks, his gentle heart 
A perfect match for his master, his owner.

His fur is a mix of black and white, 
 His eyes are a curious blue, his tail a swirly wag. 
		 He's a loyal companion, always by his side.
His gentle nature makes him an ideal pet.

		 Slender is also strong, 
		 A force to be reckoned with, 
			 His quick mind and sharp claws.

		 His body is short and stout, 
				 His coat is soft and thick, 
					 His gentle heart is pure.
