|
|
|
|
## Get started
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
The easiest way of getting started is using the official Docker container:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
model=tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct
|
|
volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run
|
|
|
|
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0 --model-id $model
|
|
```
|
|
**Note:** To use GPUs, you need to install the [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/install-guide.html). We also recommend using NVIDIA drivers with CUDA version 11.8 or higher. For running the Docker container on a machine with no GPUs or CUDA support, it is enough to remove the `--gpus all` flag and add `--disable-custom-kernels`, please note CPU is not the intended platform for this project, so performance might be subpar.
|
|
|
|
To see all options to serve your models (in the [code](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference/blob/main/launcher/src/main.rs) or in the cli):
|
|
```
|
|
text-generation-launcher --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then query the model using either the `/generate` or `/generate_stream` routes:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl 127.0.0.1:8080/generate \
|
|
-X POST \
|
|
-d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":20}}' \
|
|
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl 127.0.0.1:8080/generate_stream \
|
|
-X POST \
|
|
-d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":20}}' \
|
|
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or from Python:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip install text-generation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from text_generation import Client
|
|
|
|
client = Client("http://127.0.0.1:8080")
|
|
print(client.generate("What is Deep Learning?", max_new_tokens=20).generated_text)
|
|
|
|
text = ""
|
|
for response in client.generate_stream("What is Deep Learning?", max_new_tokens=20):
|
|
if not response.token.special:
|
|
text += response.token.text
|
|
print(text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### API documentation
|
|
|
|
You can consult the OpenAPI documentation of the `text-generation-inference` REST API using the `/docs` route.
|
|
The Swagger UI is also available at: [https://huggingface.github.io/text-generation-inference](https://huggingface.github.io/text-generation-inference).
|
|
|
|
### Using a private or gated model
|
|
|
|
You have the option to utilize the `HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN` environment variable for configuring the token employed by
|
|
`text-generation-inference`. This allows you to gain access to protected resources.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to serve the gated Llama V2 model variants:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
|
|
2. Copy your cli READ token
|
|
3. Export `HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=<your cli READ token>`
|
|
|
|
or with Docker:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
model=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf
|
|
volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run
|
|
token=<your cli READ token>
|
|
|
|
docker run --gpus all --shm-size 1g -e HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN=$token -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:1.1.0 --model-id $model
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### A note on Shared Memory (shm)
|
|
|
|
[`NCCL`](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/index.html) is a communication framework used by
|
|
`PyTorch` to do distributed training/inference. `text-generation-inference` make
|
|
use of `NCCL` to enable Tensor Parallelism to dramatically speed up inference for large language models.
|
|
|
|
In order to share data between the different devices of a `NCCL` group, `NCCL` might fall back to using the host memory if
|
|
peer-to-peer using NVLink or PCI is not possible.
|
|
|
|
To allow the container to use 1G of Shared Memory and support SHM sharing, we add `--shm-size 1g` on the above command.
|
|
|
|
If you are running `text-generation-inference` inside `Kubernetes`. You can also add Shared Memory to the container by
|
|
creating a volume with:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: shm
|
|
emptyDir:
|
|
medium: Memory
|
|
sizeLimit: 1Gi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and mounting it to `/dev/shm`.
|
|
|
|
Finally, you can also disable SHM sharing by using the `NCCL_SHM_DISABLE=1` environment variable. However, note that
|
|
this will impact performance.
|
|
|
|
### Distributed Tracing
|
|
|
|
`text-generation-inference` is instrumented with distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry. You can use this feature
|
|
by setting the address to an OTLP collector with the `--otlp-endpoint` argument.
|
|
|
|
### Local install
|
|
|
|
You can also opt to install `text-generation-inference` locally.
|
|
|
|
First [install Rust](https://rustup.rs/) and create a Python virtual environment with at least
|
|
Python 3.9, e.g. using `conda`:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
|
|
|
|
conda create -n text-generation-inference python=3.9
|
|
conda activate text-generation-inference
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You may also need to install Protoc.
|
|
|
|
On Linux:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
PROTOC_ZIP=protoc-21.12-linux-x86_64.zip
|
|
curl -OL https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v21.12/$PROTOC_ZIP
|
|
sudo unzip -o $PROTOC_ZIP -d /usr/local bin/protoc
|
|
sudo unzip -o $PROTOC_ZIP -d /usr/local 'include/*'
|
|
rm -f $PROTOC_ZIP
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On MacOS, using Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install protobuf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
BUILD_EXTENSIONS=True make install # Install repository and HF/transformer fork with CUDA kernels
|
|
make run-falcon-7b-instruct
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** on some machines, you may also need the OpenSSL libraries and gcc. On Linux machines, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev gcc -y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CUDA Kernels
|
|
|
|
The custom CUDA kernels are only tested on NVIDIA A100s. If you have any installation or runtime issues, you can remove
|
|
the kernels by using the `DISABLE_CUSTOM_KERNELS=True` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that the official Docker image has them enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
## Run Falcon
|
|
|
|
### Run
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
make run-falcon-7b-instruct
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Quantization
|
|
|
|
You can also quantize the weights with bitsandbytes to reduce the VRAM requirement:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
make run-falcon-7b-instruct-quantize
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4bit quantization is available using the [NF4 and FP4 data types from bitsandbytes](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14314.pdf). It can be enabled by providing `--quantize bitsandbytes-nf4` or `--quantize bitsandbytes-fp4` as a command line argument to `text-generation-launcher`.
|
|
|
|
## Develop
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
make server-dev
|
|
make router-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
