Running Llama 2 and other Open-Source LLMs on CPU Inference Locally for Document Q&A

Clearly explained guide for running quantized open-source LLM applications on CPUs using LLama 2, C Transformers, GGML, and LangChain

Context

  • Third-party commercial large language model (LLM) providers like OpenAI's GPT4 have democratized LLM use via simple API calls.
  • However, there are instances where teams would require self-managed or private model deployment for reasons like data privacy and residency rules.
  • The proliferation of open-source LLMs has opened up a vast range of options for us, thus reducing our reliance on these third-party providers. 
  • When we host open-source LLMs locally on-premise or in the cloud, the dedicated compute capacity becomes a key issue. While GPU instances may seem the obvious choice, the costs can easily skyrocket beyond budget.
  • In this project, we will discover how to run quantized versions of open-source LLMs on local CPU inference for document question-and-answer (Q&A).

Quickstart

  • Ensure you have downloaded the GGML binary file from https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-Chat-GGML and placed it into the models/ folder
  • To start parsing user queries into the application, launch the terminal from the project directory and run the following command: poetry run python main.py "<user query>"
  • For example, poetry run python main.py "What is the minimum guarantee payable by Adidas?"
  • Note: Omit the prepended poetry run if you are NOT using Poetry

Tools

  • LangChain: Framework for developing applications powered by language models
  • C Transformers: Python bindings for the Transformer models implemented in C/C++ using GGML library
  • FAISS: Open-source library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors.
  • Sentence-Transformers (all-MiniLM-L6-v2): Open-source pre-trained transformer model for embedding text to a 384-dimensional dense vector space for tasks like clustering or semantic search.
  • Llama-2-7B-Chat: Open-source fine-tuned Llama 2 model designed for chat dialogue. Leverages publicly available instruction datasets and over 1 million human annotations.
  • Poetry: Tool for dependency management and Python packaging
