This repository showcases a Retrieval-augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline implemented using the llama_index library for Windows. The pipeline incorporates the LLaMa 2 13B model, TensorRT-LLM, and the FAISS vector search library. For demonstration, the dataset consists of thirty recent articles sourced from NVIDIA Geforce News.
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for large language models (LLMs) seeks to enhance prediction accuracy by leveraging an external datastore during inference. This approach constructs a comprehensive prompt enriched with context, historical data, and recent or relevant knowledge.
Ensure you have the pre-requisites in place:
-
Install TensorRT-LLM for Windows using the instructions here.
-
Ensure you have access to the Llama 2 repository on Huggingface
-
In this project, the LLaMa 2 13B AWQ 4bit quantized model is employed for inference. Before using it, you'll need to compile a TensorRT Engine specific to your GPU. If you're using the GeForce RTX 4090 (TensorRT 9.1.0.4 and TensorRT-LLM release 0.5.0), the compiled TRT Engine is available for download here. For other NVIDIA GPUs or TensorRT versions, please refer to the instructions.
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/trt-llm-rag-windows.git
- Place the TensorRT engine for LLaMa 2 13B model in the model/ directory
- For GeForce RTX 4090 users: Download the pre-built TRT engine here and place it in the model/ directory.
- For other NVIDIA GPU users: Build the TRT engine by following the instructions provided here.
- Acquire the llama tokenizer here.
- Download AWQ weights for building the TensorRT engine model.pt here. (For RTX 4090, use the pregenerated engine provided earlier.)
- Install the necessary libraries:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Launch the application using the following command:
python app.py --trt_engine_path <TRT Engine folder> --trt_engine_name <TRT Engine file>.engine --tokenizer_dir_path <tokernizer folder> --data_dir <Data folder>
In our case, that will be:
python app.py --trt_engine_path model/ --trt_engine_name llama_float16_tp1_rank0.engine --tokenizer_dir_path model/ --data_dir dataset/
Note: On its first run, this example will persist/cache the data folder in vector library. Any modifications in the data folder won't take effect until the "storage-default" cache directory is removed from the application directory.
python app.py --trt_engine_path <TRT Engine folder> --trt_engine_name <TRT Engine file>.engine --tokenizer_dir_path <tokernizer folder> --data_dir <Data folder>
Arguments
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| --trt_engine_path <> | Directory of TensorRT engine |
| --trt_engine_name <> | Engine file name (e.g. llama_float16_tp1_rank0.engine) |
| --tokenizer_dir_path <> | HF downloaded model files for tokenizer e.g. https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-chat-hf |
| --data_dir <> | Directory with context data (pdf, txt etc.) e.g. ".\dataset" |
For RTX 4090 (TensorRT 9.1.0.4 & TensorRT-LLM 0.5.0), a prebuilt TRT engine is provided. For other RTX GPUs or TensorRT versions, follow these steps to build your TRT engine:
Download LLaMa 2 13B chat model from https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-2-13b-chat-hf
Download LLaMa 2 13B AWQ int4 checkpoints model.pt from here
Clone the TensorRT LLM repository:
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM.git
Navigate to the examples\llama directory and run the following script:
python build.py --model_dir <path to llama13_chat model> --quant_ckpt_path <path to model.pt> --dtype float16 --use_gpt_attention_plugin float16 --use_gemm_plugin float16 --use_weight_only --weight_only_precision int4_awq --per_group --enable_context_fmha --max_batch_size 1 --max_input_len 3000 --max_output_len 1024 --output_dir <TRT engine folder>
- This app loads data from the dataset/ directory into the vector store. To add support for your own data, replace the files in the dataset/ directory with your own data. By default, the script uses llamaindex's SimpleDirectoryLoader which supports text files in several platforms such as .txt, PDF, and so on.
