This web UI supports extensions. They are simply files under ``` extensions/your_extension_name/script.py ``` which can be invoked with the ``` --extension your_extension_name ``` command-line flag. ## [text-generation-webui-extensions](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui-extensions) The link above contains a directory of user extensions for text-generation-webui. If you create an extension, you are welcome to host it in a GitHub repository and submit it to the list above. ## Built-in extensions Most of these have been created by the extremely talented contributors that you can find here: [contributors](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/graphs/contributors?from=2022-12-18&to=&type=a). |Extension|Description| |---------|-----------| |[api](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/api)| Creates an API with two endpoints, one for streaming at `/api/v1/stream` port 5005 and another for blocking at `/api/v1/generate` por 5000. This is the main API for this web UI. | |[google_translate](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/google_translate)| Automatically translates inputs and outputs using Google Translate.| |[character_bias](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/character_bias)| Just a very simple example that biases the bot's responses in chat mode.| |[gallery](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/extensions/gallery/)| Creates a gallery with the chat characters and their pictures. | |[silero_tts](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/silero_tts)| Text-to-speech extension using [Silero](https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models). When used in chat mode, it replaces the responses with an audio widget. | |[elevenlabs_tts](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/elevenlabs_tts)| Text-to-speech extension using the [ElevenLabs](https://beta.elevenlabs.io/) API. You need an API key to use it. | |[send_pictures](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/extensions/send_pictures/)| Creates an image upload field that can be used to send images to the bot in chat mode. Captions are automatically generated using BLIP. | |[whisper_stt](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/whisper_stt)| Allows you to enter your inputs in chat mode using your microphone. | |[sd_api_pictures](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/sd_api_pictures)| Allows you to request pictures from the bot in chat mode, which will be generated using the AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion API. See examples [here](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/309). | |[llava](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/llava) | Adds LLaVA multimodal model support. For detailed description see [README.md](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/llava/README.md) in the extension directory. | |[openai](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/extensions/openai)| Creates an API that mimics the OpenAI API and can be used as a drop-in replacement. | ## How to write an extension `script.py` has access to all variables in the UI through the `modules.shared` module, and it may define the following functions: | Function | Description | |-------------|-------------| | `def ui()` | Creates custom gradio elements when the UI is launched. | | `def input_modifier(string)` | Modifies the input string before it enters the model. In chat mode, it is applied to the user message. Otherwise, it is applied to the entire prompt. | | `def output_modifier(string)` | Modifies the output string before it is presented in the UI. In chat mode, it is applied to the bot's reply. Otherwise, it is applied to the entire output. | | `def state_modifier(state)` | Modifies the dictionary containing the input parameters before it is used by the text generation functions. | | `def bot_prefix_modifier(string)` | Applied in chat mode to the prefix for the bot's reply (more on that below). | | `def custom_generate_reply(...)` | Overrides the main text generation function. | | `def custom_generate_chat_prompt(...)` | Overrides the prompt generator in chat mode. | | `def tokenizer_modifier(state, prompt, input_ids, input_embeds)` | Modifies the `input_ids`/`input_embeds` fed to the model. Should return `prompt`, `input_ids`, `input_embeds`. See `llava` extension for an example | Additionally, the script may define two special global variables: #### `params` dictionary ```python params = { "language string": "ja", } ``` This dicionary can be used to make the extension parameters customizable by adding entries to a `settings.json` file like this: ```python "google_translate-language string": "fr", ``` #### `input_hijack` dictionary ```python input_hijack = { 'state': False, 'value': ["", ""] } ``` This is only relevant in chat mode. If your extension sets `input_hijack['state']` to `True` at any moment, the next call to `modules.chat.chatbot_wrapper` will use the values inside `input_hijack['value']` as the user input for text generation. See the `send_pictures` extension above for an example. Additionally, your extension can set the value to be a callback, in the form of `def cb(text: str, visible_text: str) -> [str, str]`. See the `llava` extension above for an example. ## The `bot_prefix_modifier` In chat mode, this function modifies the prefix for a new bot message. For instance, if your bot is named `Marie Antoinette`, the default prefix for a new message will be ``` Marie Antoinette: ``` Using `bot_prefix_modifier`, you can change it to: ``` Marie Antoinette: *I am very enthusiastic* ``` Marie Antoinette will become very enthusiastic in all her messages. ## Using multiple extensions at the same time In order to use your extension, you must start the web UI with the `--extensions` flag followed by the name of your extension (the folder under `text-generation-webui/extension` where `script.py` resides). You can activate more than one extension at a time by providing their names separated by spaces. The input, output and bot prefix modifiers will be applied in the specified order. For `custom_generate_chat_prompt`, only the first declaration encountered will be used and the rest will be ignored. ``` python server.py --extensions enthusiasm translate # First apply enthusiasm, then translate python server.py --extensions translate enthusiasm # First apply translate, then enthusiasm ``` ## `custom_generate_reply` example Once defined in a `script.py`, this function is executed in place of the main generation functions. You can use it to connect the web UI to an external API, or to load a custom model that is not supported yet. ```python import datetime def custom_generate_reply(question, original_question, seed, state, eos_token, stopping_strings): cumulative = '' for i in range(10): cumulative += f"Counting: {i}...\n" yield cumulative cumulative += f"Done! {str(datetime.datetime.now())}" yield cumulative ``` ## `custom_generate_chat_prompt` example Below is an extension that just reproduces the default prompt generator in `modules/chat.py`. You can modify it freely to come up with your own prompts in chat mode. ```python def custom_generate_chat_prompt(user_input, state, **kwargs): impersonate = kwargs['impersonate'] if 'impersonate' in kwargs else False _continue = kwargs['_continue'] if '_continue' in kwargs else False also_return_rows = kwargs['also_return_rows'] if 'also_return_rows' in kwargs else False is_instruct = state['mode'] == 'instruct' rows = [state['context'] if is_instruct else f"{state['context'].strip()}\n"] min_rows = 3 # Finding the maximum prompt size chat_prompt_size = state['chat_prompt_size'] if shared.soft_prompt: chat_prompt_size -= shared.soft_prompt_tensor.shape[1] max_length = min(get_max_prompt_length(state), chat_prompt_size) # Building the turn templates if 'turn_template' not in state or state['turn_template'] == '': if is_instruct: template = '<|user|>\n<|user-message|>\n<|bot|>\n<|bot-message|>\n' else: template = '<|user|>: <|user-message|>\n<|bot|>: <|bot-message|>\n' else: template = state['turn_template'].replace(r'\n', '\n') replacements = { '<|user|>': state['name1'].strip(), '<|bot|>': state['name2'].strip(), } user_turn = replace_all(template.split('<|bot|>')[0], replacements) bot_turn = replace_all('<|bot|>' + template.split('<|bot|>')[1], replacements) user_turn_stripped = replace_all(user_turn.split('<|user-message|>')[0], replacements) bot_turn_stripped = replace_all(bot_turn.split('<|bot-message|>')[0], replacements) # Building the prompt i = len(shared.history['internal']) - 1 while i >= 0 and len(encode(''.join(rows))[0]) < max_length: if _continue and i == len(shared.history['internal']) - 1: rows.insert(1, bot_turn_stripped + shared.history['internal'][i][1].strip()) else: rows.insert(1, bot_turn.replace('<|bot-message|>', shared.history['internal'][i][1].strip())) string = shared.history['internal'][i][0] if string not in ['', '<|BEGIN-VISIBLE-CHAT|>']: rows.insert(1, replace_all(user_turn, {'<|user-message|>': string.strip(), '<|round|>': str(i)})) i -= 1 if impersonate: min_rows = 2 rows.append(user_turn_stripped.rstrip(' ')) elif not _continue: # Adding the user message if len(user_input) > 0: rows.append(replace_all(user_turn, {'<|user-message|>': user_input.strip(), '<|round|>': str(len(shared.history["internal"]))})) # Adding the Character prefix rows.append(apply_extensions("bot_prefix", bot_turn_stripped.rstrip(' '))) while len(rows) > min_rows and len(encode(''.join(rows))[0]) >= max_length: rows.pop(1) prompt = ''.join(rows) if also_return_rows: return prompt, rows else: return prompt ```
