Inference of LLaMA model in pure C/C++

Hot topics:

Description

The main goal is to run the model using 4-bit quantization on a MacBook

  • Plain C/C++ implementation without dependencies
  • Apple silicon first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON
  • AVX2 support for x86 architectures
  • Mixed F16 / F32 precision
  • 4-bit quantization support
  • Runs on the CPU

This was hacked in an evening - I have no idea if it works correctly. Please do not make conclusions about the models based on the results from this implementation. For all I know, it can be completely wrong. This project is for educational purposes. New features will probably be added mostly through community contributions.

Supported platforms:

  • Mac OS
  • Linux
  • Windows (via CMake)
  • Docker

Here is a typical run using LLaMA-7B:

Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:
1) Select a domain name and web hosting plan
2) Complete a sitemap
3) List your products
4) Write product descriptions
5) Create a user account
6) Build the template
7) Start building the website
8) Advertise the website
9) Provide email support
10) Submit the website to search engines
A website is a collection of web pages that are formatted with HTML. HTML is the code that defines what the website looks like and how it behaves.
The HTML code is formatted into a template or a format. Once this is done, it is displayed on the user's browser.
The web pages are stored in a web server. The web server is also called a host. When the website is accessed, it is retrieved from the server and displayed on the user's computer.
A website is known as a website when it is hosted. This means that it is displayed on a host. The host is usually a web server.
A website can be displayed on different browsers. The browsers are basically the software that renders the website on the user's screen.
A website can also be viewed on different devices such as desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Hence, to have a website displayed on a browser, the website must be hosted.
A domain name is an address of a website. It is the name of the website.

And here is another demo of running both LLaMA-7B and whisper.cpp on a single M1 Pro MacBook:

whisper-llama-lq.mp4

Usage

Here are the step for the LLaMA-7B model:

# build this repo
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
make

# obtain the original LLaMA model weights and place them in ./models
ls ./models
65B 30B 13B 7B tokenizer_checklist.chk tokenizer.model

# install Python dependencies
python3 -m pip install torch numpy sentencepiece

# convert the 7B model to ggml FP16 format
python3 convert-pth-to-ggml.py models/7B/ 1

# quantize the model to 4-bits
python3 quantize.py 7B

# run the inference
./main -m ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -n 128

Currently, it's best to use Python 3.9 or Python 3.10, as sentencepiece has not yet published a wheel for Python 3.11.

When running the larger models, make sure you have enough disk space to store all the intermediate files.

Memory/Disk Requirements

As the models are currently fully loaded into memory, you will need adequate disk space to save them and sufficient RAM to load them. At the moment, memory and disk requirements are the same.

model original size quantized size (4-bit)
7B 13 GB 3.9 GB
13B 24 GB 7.8 GB
30B 60 GB 19.5 GB
65B 120 GB 38.5 GB

Interactive mode

If you want a more ChatGPT-like experience, you can run in interactive mode by passing -i as a parameter. In this mode, you can always interrupt generation by pressing Ctrl+C and enter one or more lines of text which will be converted into tokens and appended to the current context. You can also specify a reverse prompt with the parameter -r "reverse prompt string". This will result in user input being prompted whenever the exact tokens of the reverse prompt string are encountered in the generation. A typical use is to use a prompt which makes LLaMa emulate a chat between multiple users, say Alice and Bob, and pass -r "Alice:".

Here is an example few-shot interaction, invoked with the command

# default arguments using 7B model
./chat.sh

# custom arguments using 13B model
./main -m ./models/13B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -n 256 --repeat_penalty 1.0 --color -i -r "User:" -f prompts/chat-with-bob.txt

Note the use of --color to distinguish between user input and generated text.

Instruction mode with Alpaca

First, download the ggml Alpaca model into the ./models folder:

# use one of these
# TODO: add a script to simplify the download
curl -o ./models/ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin -C - https://gateway.estuary.tech/gw/ipfs/QmUp1UGeQFDqJKvtjbSYPBiZZKRjLp8shVP9hT8ZB9Ynv1
curl -o ./models/ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin -C - https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUp1UGeQFDqJKvtjbSYPBiZZKRjLp8shVP9hT8ZB9Ynv1
curl -o ./models/ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin -C - https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmUp1UGeQFDqJKvtjbSYPBiZZKRjLp8shVP9hT8ZB9Ynv1

Now run the main tool like this:

./main -m ./models/ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin --color -f ./prompts/alpaca.txt -ins

Sample run:

== Running in interactive mode. ==
 - Press Ctrl+C to interject at any time.
 - Press Return to return control to LLaMa.
 - If you want to submit another line, end your input in '\'.

 Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

Obtaining and verifying the Facebook LLaMA original model and Stanford Alpaca model data

  • The LLaMA models are officially distributed by Facebook and will never be provided through this repository. See this Pull Request in Facebook's LLaMA repository if you need to obtain access to the model data.

  • Please verify the sha256 checksums of all of your consolidated*.pth and corresponding converted ggml-model-*.bin model files to confirm that you have the correct model data files before creating an issue relating to your model files.

The following command will verify if you have all possible latest files in your self-installed ./models subdirectory:

sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS on Linux

or

shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS on macOS

Android

You can easily run llama.cpp on Android device with termux. First, obtain the Android NDK and then build with CMake:

$ mkdir build-android
$ cd build-android
$ export NDK=<your_ndk_directory>
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-23 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-march=armv8.4a+dotprod ..
$ make

Install termux on your device and run termux-setup-storage to get access to your SD card. Finally, copy the llama binary and the model files to your device storage. Here is a demo of an interactive session running on Pixel 5 phone:

llama-interactive2.mp4

Docker

Prerequisites

  • Docker must be installed and running on your system.
  • Create a folder to store big models & intermediate files (in ex. im using /llama/models)

Images

We have two Docker images available for this project:

  1. ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full: This image includes both the main executable file and the tools to convert LLaMA models into ggml and convert into 4-bit quantization.
  2. ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:light: This image only includes the main executable file.

Usage

The easiest way to download the models, convert them to ggml and optimize them is with the --all-in-one command which includes the full docker image.

docker run -v /llama/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full --all-in-one "/models/" 7B

On complete, you are ready to play!

docker run -v /llama/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full --run -m /models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 512

or with light image:

docker run -v /llama/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:light -m /models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 512

Limitations

  • We don't know yet how much the quantization affects the quality of the generated text
  • Probably the token sampling can be improved
  • The Accelerate framework is actually currently unused since I found that for tensor shapes typical for the Decoder, there is no benefit compared to the ARM_NEON intrinsics implementation. Of course, it's possible that I simply don't know how to utilize it properly. But in any case, you can even disable it with LLAMA_NO_ACCELERATE=1 make and the performance will be the same, since no BLAS calls are invoked by the current implementation

  • Contributors can open PRs
  • Collaborators can push to branches in the llama.cpp repo and merge PRs into the master branch
  • Collaborators will be invited based on contributions
  • Any help with managing issues and PRs is very appreciated!

Coding guidelines

  • Avoid adding third-party dependencies, extra files, extra headers, etc.
  • Always consider cross-compatibility with other operating systems and architectures
  • Avoid fancy looking modern STL constructs, use basic for loops, avoid templates, keep it simple
  • There are no strict rules for the code style, but try to follow the patterns in the code (indentation, spaces, etc.). Vertical alignment makes things more readable and easier to batch edit
  • Clean-up any trailing whitespaces, use 4 spaces indentation, brackets on same line, void * ptr, int & a
  • See good first issues for tasks suitable for first contributions
