Experimental LLM Inference UX to aid in creative writing

Primary LanguagePythonMIT LicenseMIT

The LLooM

Leverage raw LLM logits to weave the threads propability a few tokens at a time.

The problem with straight greedy decoding is that due to the self-recursive nature of LLMs, if there's a high-propability token hidden behind a low-probability one then greedy wont find it.

Conceptually this idea is similar to beamsearching, tracking multiple candidates at once, but with a human in the loop and unlimited beams.

News

06/02 Released v0.3 with vLLM support and a quality of life improvement: if a suggestion beam starts with a stop token, it will be allowed to continue.

Launching

Prepare environment

pip3 install requests graphviz streamlit

sudo apt-get install -y graphviz

Usage with vLLM

Download an appropriate GPTQ or AWQ quant for your system such as study-hjt/Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int4.

Launch a vllm openAI server:

python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model ~/models/study-hjt-Meta-Llama-3-70B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int4/ --enable-prefix-cache

Remember to add --tensor-parallel-size <N> if you have multiple GPUs.

Then launch the frontend with VLLM_API_URL set to the host and port of the server:

LLAMA_PIPELINE_REQUESTS=6 VLLM_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 streamlit run lloom.py

Tweak LLAMA_PIPELINE_REQUESTS up until it stops being faster (if you have powerful GPUs).

If you 48GB VRAM and want to Fit Llama3-70B-GPTQ model

Add --enforce-eager --max-model-len 2048 --gpu_memory_utilization 1.0 to vllm server command line.

If you have P100

Use vllm-ci

export VLLM_ATTENTION_BACKEND=XFORMERS to force xformers.

Add --dtype half to vllm server command line.

If you get the "Cannot convert f16 to f16 crash" either remove --enable-prefix-cache or build triton from source with the patches from the vllm-ci repo.

Usage with llama.cpp

Download an appropriate quant for your system from dolphin-2.9-llama3-70b-GGUF

Launch a llama.cpp server with a good Llama3-70B finetune:

./server -m ~/models/dolphin-2.9-llama3-70b.Q4_K_M.gguf -ngl 99 -sm row --host 0.0.0.0 -c 8192 --log-format text
❗ Note that you cannot use -fa as this results in all the logits being null and its strongly discouraged to launch with any kind of parallelism because this both reduces available context size and seems to break the KV caching so performance suffers.

Then launch the frontend with LLAMA_API_URL set to the host and port of the server:

❗ LLooM makes a large number of network calls and is latency sensitive, make sure the llama.cpp server is running on the same machine or LAN as the frontend to avoid degraded performance. If you cannot avoid going over a high-latency, connection setting LLAMA_PIPELINE_REQUESTS=2 should improve performance.
LLAMA_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080 streamlit run lloom.py

Usage with OpenAI

Launch the frontend with OPENAI_API_KEY

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... streamlit run lloom.py

Model is currently hard-coded to gpt-3.5-turbo.

Configuration

You can open the Configuration dropdown at the top at any time to adjust parameters.

LLooM Screenshot

The parameters are grouped into two sections: when to stop, and when to split.

Stop Conditions

Auto-Stop Early-terminate suggestion beams when a "." or "," character in encountered.

Max Depth The maximum number of tokens a suggestion beam can have. Note that if you disable the Auto-Stop condition, then all beams will have exactly this number of tokens.

Maximum Suggestions The maximum number of completed suggestion beams to return (this can be really useful to limit run-time if the model is slow).

Split Conditions

Cutoff The minimum token propability (0.0 - 1.0) to spawn a new thread.

Multiplier cutoff per token slope (1.0: fixed cutoff, <1.0 cutoff decreases with depth, >1.0 cutoff increases with depth)

Split Limit the maximum number of times a suggestion beam can split (analogous to beamsearch with top-k)
