硬件需求（hardware requirement）

需要近 40GB GPU 显存用于模型推理。如果没有一整块GPU显存超过40GB，则需要使用accelerate的将模型切分到多个有较小显存的GPU设备上。

40GB VRAM for inference. If there is no single GPU with more than 40GB of VRAM, you will need to use the "accelerate" library to dispatch the model into multiple GPUs with smaller VRAM. 

安装依赖（dependencies）

```base
pip install torch==2.1.0 transformers==4.35.0 accelerate==0.24.1 sentencepiece==0.1.99 einops==0.7.0 xformers==0.0.22.post7 triton==2.1.0
```

代码示例（example）

```python
import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, LlamaTokenizer

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained('lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.5')
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    'THUDM/cogvlm-chat-hf',
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
    trust_remote_code=True
).to('cuda').eval()


# chat example
query = 'Describe this image'
image = Image.open(requests.get('https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM/blob/main/examples/1.png?raw=true', stream=True).raw).convert('RGB')
inputs = model.build_conversation_input_ids(tokenizer, query=query, history=[], images=[image])  # chat mode
inputs = {
    'input_ids': inputs['input_ids'].unsqueeze(0).to('cuda'),
    'token_type_ids': inputs['token_type_ids'].unsqueeze(0).to('cuda'),
    'attention_mask': inputs['attention_mask'].unsqueeze(0).to('cuda'),
    'images': [[inputs['images'][0].to('cuda').to(torch.bfloat16)]],
}
gen_kwargs = {"max_length": 2048, "do_sample": False}

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(**inputs, **gen_kwargs)
    outputs = outputs[:, inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]:]
    print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))

# This image captures a moment from a basketball game. Two players are prominently featured: one wearing a yellow jersey with the number
# 24 and the word 'Lakers' written on it, and the other wearing a navy blue jersey with the word 'Washington' and the number 34. The player
# in yellow is holding a basketball and appears to be dribbling it, while the player in navy blue is reaching out with his arm, possibly
# trying to block or defend. The background shows a filled stadium with spectators, indicating that this is a professional game.</s>



# vqa example

当单卡显存不足时，可以将模型切分到多个小显存GPU上。以下是个当你有两张24GB的GPU，16GBCPU内存的例子。
你可以将`infer_auto_device_map`的参数改成你的配置。注意这里将GPU显存少写了一点，这是为推理时中间状态预留出一部分显存。

dispatch the model into multiple GPUs with smaller VRAM. This is an example for you have two 24GB GPU and 16GB CPU memory.
you can change the arguments of `infer_auto_device_map` with your own setting.

```python
import torch
import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, LlamaTokenizer
from accelerate import init_empty_weights, infer_auto_device_map, load_checkpoint_and_dispatch

tokenizer = LlamaTokenizer.from_pretrained('lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.5')
with init_empty_weights():
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        'THUDM/cogvlm-chat-hf',
        torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
        low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
        trust_remote_code=True,
    )
device_map = infer_auto_device_map(model, max_memory={0:'20GiB',1:'20GiB','cpu':'16GiB'}, no_split_module_classes=['CogVLMDecoderLayer', 'TransformerLayer'])
model = load_checkpoint_and_dispatch(
    model,
    'local/path/to/hf/version/chat/model',   # typical, '~/.cache/huggingface/hub/models--THUDM--cogvlm-chat-hf/snapshots/balabala'
    device_map=device_map,
)
model = model.eval()

# check device for weights if u want to
for n, p in model.named_parameters():
    print(f"{n}: {p.device}")

# chat example
query = 'Describe this image'
image = Image.open(requests.get('https://github.com/THUDM/CogVLM/blob/main/examples/1.png?raw=true', stream=True).raw).convert('RGB')
inputs = model.build_conversation_input_ids(tokenizer, query=query, history=[], images=[image])  # chat mode
inputs = {
    'input_ids': inputs['input_ids'].unsqueeze(0).to('cuda'),
    'token_type_ids': inputs['token_type_ids'].unsqueeze(0).to('cuda'),
    'attention_mask': inputs['attention_mask'].unsqueeze(0).to('cuda'),
    'images': [[inputs['images'][0].to('cuda').to(torch.bfloat16)]],
}
gen_kwargs = {"max_length": 2048, "do_sample": False}

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model.generate(**inputs, **gen_kwargs)
    outputs = outputs[:, inputs['input_ids'].shape[1]:]
    print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
```
