A codebase for working with Open Pre-trained Transformers.
The OPT 125M--66B models are now available in Hugging Face Transformers. You can access them under the facebook organization on the Hugging Face Hub
The OPT 125M--175B models are now supported in the Alpa project, which enables serving OPT-175B with more flexible parallelisms on older generations of GPUs, such as 40GB A100, V100, T4, M60, etc.
The OPT models are now supported in the Colossal-AI, which helps users to efficiently and quickly deploy OPT models training and inference, reducing large AI model budgets and scaling down the labor cost of learning and deployment.
The OPT 125M--66B models can be executed with CTranslate2, which is a fast inference engine for Transformer models. The project integrates the SmoothQuant technique to allow 8-bit quantization of OPT models. See the usage example to get started.
The OPT models can be served with FasterTransformer, a highly optimized inference framework written and maintained by NVIDIA. We provide instructions to convert OPT checkpoints into FasterTransformer format and a usage example with some benchmark results.
Follow setup instructions here to get started.
