@react-llm/headless

Easy-to-use headless React Hooks to run LLMs in the browser with WebGPU. As simple as useLLM().

Live Demo

Features:

Supports Vicuna 13B
Use custom system prompts and "user:"/"assistant:" role names
Completion options like max tokens and stop sequences
No data leaves the browser. Accelerated via WebGPU.
Hooks built to 'Bring your own UI'
Persistent storage for conversations in browser storage. Hooks for loading and saving conversations.
Model caching for faster subsequent loads

Installation

npm install @react-llm/headless

useLLM API

Types

// Model Initialization
init: () => void;

// Model Generation
send: (msg: string, maxTokens: number, stopSequences: string[]) => void;
onMessage: (msg: GenerateTextResponse) => void;
setOnMessage: (cb: (msg: GenerateTextResponse) => void) => void;

// Model Status
loadingStatus: InitProgressReport;
isGenerating: boolean;
gpuDevice: GPUDeviceInfo;

// Model Configuration
userRoleName: string;
setUserRoleName: (roleName: string) => void;
assistantRoleName: string;
setAssistantRoleName: (roleName: string) => void;

// Conversation Management
conversation: Conversation | undefined;
allConversations: Conversation[] | undefined;

setConversationId: (conversationId: string) => void;
deleteConversation: (conversationId: string) => void;
deleteAllConversations: () => void;
deleteMessages: () => void;
setConversationTitle: (conversationId: string, title: string) => void;

Hooks

import useLLM from '@react-llm/headless';

const MyComponent = () => {
  const {
    conversation,
    allConversations,
    loadingStatus,
    isGenerating,
    createConversation,
    setConversationId,
    deleteConversation,
    deleteAllConversations,
    deleteMessages,
    setConversationTitle,
    onMessage,
    setOnMessage,
    userRoleName,
    setUserRoleName,
    assistantRoleName,
    setAssistantRoleName,
    gpuDevice,
    send,
    init,
  } = useLLM();

  // Component logic...

  return null;
};

Packages

@react-llm/headless - Headless React Hooks for running LLMs in the browser
@react-llm/retro-ui - Retro-themed UI for the hooks

How does it work?

This library is a set of React Hooks that provide a simple interface to run LLMs in the browser. It uses Vicuna 13B.

SentencePiece tokenizer (compiled for the browser via Emscripten)
Vicuna 13B (transformed to Apache TVM format)
Apache TVM and MLC Relax (compiled for the browser via Emscripten)
Off-the-main-thread WebWorker to run the model (bundled with the library)

The model, tokenizer, and TVM runtime are loaded from a CDN (huggingface). The model is cached in browser storage for faster subsequent loads.

Example

See packages/retro-ui for the full demo code. This is a simple example of how to use the hooks. To run it, after cloning the repo,

cd packages/retro-ui
pnpm install
pnpm dev
