text-generation-webui

A gradio webui for running large language models locally. Supports gpt-j-6B, gpt-neox-20b, opt, galactica, and many others.

Its goal is to become the AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui of text generation.

Installation

Create a conda environment:

conda create -n textgen
conda activate textgen

Install the appropriate pytorch for your GPU. For NVIDIA GPUs, this should work:

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia

Install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Downloading models

Models should be placed under models/model-name.

Hugging Face

Hugging Face is the main place to download models. These are the most important ones in my opinion:

The files that you need to download and put under models/model-name (for instance, models/gpt-j-6B) are the json, txt, and pytorch*.bin files. The remaining files are not necessary.

GPT-4chan

GPT-4chan has been shut down from Hugging Face, so you need to download it elsewhere. You have two options:

Converting to pytorch

The script convert-to-torch.py allows you to convert models to .pt format, which is about 10x faster to load:

python convert-to-torch.py models/model-name/

The output model will be saved to torch-dumps/model-name.pt. When you load a new model from the webui, it will first look for this .pt file; if it is not found, it will load the model as usual from models/model-name/.

Starting the webui

conda activate textgen
python server.py

Then browse to http://localhost:7860/?__theme=dark

Presets

Inference settings presets can be created under presets/ as text files. These files are detected automatically at startup.
