You do not need to apply delta. Vicuna is based on LLaMA and should be used under LLaMA's [model license](https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/MODEL_CARD.md). You can use the commands below to start chatting. It will automatically download the weights from Hugging Face repos. See more command options and how to handle out-of-memory in the "Inference with Command Line Interface" section below. | Size | Chat Command | Hugging Face Repo | | --- | --- | --- | | 7B | `python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3` | [lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3) | | 13B | `python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3` | [lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3) | | 33B | `python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-33b-v1.3` | [lmsys/vicuna-33b-v1.3](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/vicuna-33b-v1.3) | **Old weights**: see [docs/vicuna_weights_version.md](docs/vicuna_weights_version.md) for all versions of weights and their differences. ### LongChat We release LongChat models under LLaMA's [model license](https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/MODEL_CARD.md). | Size | Chat Command | Hugging Face Repo | | --- | --- | --- | | 7B | `python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/longchat-7b-16k` | [lmsys/longchat-7b-16k](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/longchat-7b-16k) | | 13B | `python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/longchat-13b-16k` | [lmsys/longchat-13b-16k](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/longchat-13b-16k) | ### FastChat-T5 You can use the commands below to chat with FastChat-T5. It will automatically download the weights from Hugging Face repos. | Size | Chat Command | Hugging Face Repo | | --- | --- | --- | | 3B | `python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/fastchat-t5-3b-v1.0` | [lmsys/fastchat-t5-3b-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/lmsys/fastchat-t5-3b-v1.0) | ## Inference with Command Line Interface (Experimental Feature: You can specify `--style rich` to enable rich text output and better text streaming quality for some non-ASCII content. This may not work properly on certain terminals.) #### Supported Models FastChat supports a wide range of models, including Vicuna, Alpaca, Baize, ChatGLM, Dolly, Falcon, FastChat-T5, GPT4ALL, Guanaco, MTP, OpenAssistant, RedPajama, StableLM, WizardLM, and more. See a complete list of supported models and instructions to add a new model [here](docs/model_support.md). #### Single GPU The command below requires around 14GB of GPU memory for Vicuna-7B and 28GB of GPU memory for Vicuna-13B. See the "No Enough Memory" section below if you do not have enough memory. `--model-path` can be a local folder or a Hugging Face repo name. ``` python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 ``` #### Multiple GPUs You can use model parallelism to aggregate GPU memory from multiple GPUs on the same machine. ``` python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --num-gpus 2 ``` #### CPU Only This runs on the CPU only and does not require GPU. It requires around 30GB of CPU memory for Vicuna-7B and around 60GB of CPU memory for Vicuna-13B. ``` python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --device cpu ``` #### Metal Backend (Mac Computers with Apple Silicon or AMD GPUs) Use `--device mps` to enable GPU acceleration on Mac computers (requires torch >= 2.0). Use `--load-8bit` to turn on 8-bit compression. ``` python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --device mps --load-8bit ``` Vicuna-7B can run on a 32GB M1 Macbook with 1 - 2 words / second. #### Intel XPU (Intel Data Center and Arc A-Series GPUs) Install the [Intel Extension for PyTorch](https://intel.github.io/intel-extension-for-pytorch/xpu/latest/tutorials/installation.html). Set the OneAPI environment variables: ``` source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh ``` Use `--device xpu` to enable XPU/GPU acceleration. ``` python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --device xpu ``` Vicuna-7B can run on an Intel Arc A770 16GB. #### No Enough Memory If you do not have enough memory, you can enable 8-bit compression by adding `--load-8bit` to commands above. This can reduce memory usage by around half with slightly degraded model quality. It is compatible with the CPU, GPU, and Metal backend. Vicuna-13B with 8-bit compression can run on a single NVIDIA 3090/4080/T4/V100(16GB) GPU. ``` python3 -m fastchat.serve.cli --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --load-8bit ``` In addition to that, you can add `--cpu-offloading` to commands above to offload weights that don't fit on your GPU onto the CPU memory. This requires 8-bit compression to be enabled and the bitsandbytes package to be installed, which is only available on linux operating systems. #### More Platforms - FastChat supports GPTQ 4bit inference with [GPTQ-for-LLaMa](https://github.com/qwopqwop200/GPTQ-for-LLaMa). See [docs/gptq.md](/docs/gptq.md). - [MLC LLM](https://mlc.ai/mlc-llm/), backed by [TVM Unity](https://github.com/apache/tvm/tree/unity) compiler, deploys Vicuna natively on phones, consumer-class GPUs and web browsers via Vulkan, Metal, CUDA and WebGPU. ## Serving with Web GUI To serve using the web UI, you need three main components: web servers that interface with users, model workers that host one or more models, and a controller to coordinate the webserver and model workers. You can learn more about the architecture [here](docs/server_arch.md). Here are the commands to follow in your terminal: #### Launch the controller ```bash python3 -m fastchat.serve.controller ``` This controller manages the distributed workers. #### Launch the model worker(s) ```bash python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 ``` Wait until the process finishes loading the model and you see "Uvicorn running on ...". The model worker will register itself to the controller . To ensure that your model worker is connected to your controller properly, send a test message using the following command: ```bash python3 -m fastchat.serve.test_message --model-name vicuna-7b-v1.3 ``` You will see a short output. #### Launch the Gradio web server ```bash python3 -m fastchat.serve.gradio_web_server ``` This is the user interface that users will interact with. By following these steps, you will be able to serve your models using the web UI. You can open your browser and chat with a model now. If the models do not show up, try to reboot the gradio web server. #### (Optional): Advanced Features - You can register multiple model workers to a single controller, which can be used for serving a single model with higher throughput or serving multiple models at the same time. When doing so, please allocate different GPUs and ports for different model workers. ``` # worker 0 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker --model-path lmsys/vicuna-7b-v1.3 --controller http://localhost:21001 --port 31000 --worker http://localhost:31000 # worker 1 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python3 -m fastchat.serve.model_worker --model-path lmsys/fastchat-t5-3b-v1.0 --controller http://localhost:21001 --port 31001 --worker http://localhost:31001 ``` - You can also launch a multi-tab gradio server, which includes the Chatbot Arena tabs. ```bash python3 -m fastchat.serve.gradio_web_server_multi ``` ## API ### OpenAI-Compatible RESTful APIs & SDK FastChat provides OpenAI-compatible APIs for its supported models, so you can use FastChat as a local drop-in replacement for OpenAI APIs. The FastChat server is compatible with both [openai-python](https://github.com/openai/openai-python) library and cURL commands. See [docs/openai_api.md](docs/openai_api.md). ### Hugging Face Generation APIs See [fastchat/serve/huggingface_api.py](fastchat/serve/huggingface_api.py). ### LangChain Integration See [docs/langchain_integration](docs/langchain_integration.md). ## Evaluation We use MT-bench, a set of challenging multi-turn open-ended questions to evaluate models. To automate the evaluation process, we prompt strong LLMs like GPT-4 to act as judges and assess the quality of the models' responses. See instructions for running MT-bench at [fastchat/llm_judge](fastchat/llm_judge). MT-bench is the new recommended way to benchmark your models. If you are still looking for the old 80 questions used in the vicuna blog post, please go to [vicuna-blog-eval](https://github.com/lm-sys/vicuna-blog-eval). ## Fine-tuning ### Data Vicuna is created by fine-tuning a LLaMA base model using approximately 70K user-shared conversations gathered from ShareGPT.com with public APIs. To ensure data quality, we convert the HTML back to markdown and filter out some inappropriate or low-quality samples. Additionally, we divide lengthy conversations into smaller segments that fit the model's maximum context length. For detailed instructions to clean the ShareGPT data, check out [here](docs/commands/data_cleaning.md). We will not release the ShareGPT dataset. If you would like to try the fine-tuning code, you can run it with some dummy conversations in [dummy_conversation.json](data/dummy_conversation.json). You can follow the same format and plug in your own data. ### Code and Hyperparameters Our code is based on [Stanford Alpaca](https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca) with additional support for multi-turn conversations. We use similar hyperparameters as the Stanford Alpaca. | Hyperparameter | Global Batch Size | Learning rate | Epochs | Max length | Weight decay | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | Vicuna-13B | 128 | 2e-5 | 3 | 2048 | 0 | ### Fine-tuning Vicuna-7B with Local GPUs You can use the following command to train Vicuna-7B with 4 x A100 (40GB). Update `--model_name_or_path` with the actual path to LLaMA weights and `--data_path` with the actual path to data. ```bash torchrun --nproc_per_node=4 --master_port=20001 fastchat/train/train_mem.py \ --model_name_or_path ~/model_weights/llama-7b \ --data_path data/dummy_conversation.json \ --bf16 True \ --output_dir output_vicuna \ --num_train_epochs 3 \ --per_device_train_batch_size 2 \ --per_device_eval_batch_size 2 \ --gradient_accumulation_steps 16 \ --evaluation_strategy "no" \ --save_strategy "steps" \ --save_steps 1200 \ --save_total_limit 10 \ --learning_rate 2e-5 \ --weight_decay 0. \ --warmup_ratio 0.03 \ --lr_scheduler_type "cosine" \ --logging_steps 1 \ --fsdp "full_shard auto_wrap" \ --fsdp_transformer_layer_cls_to_wrap 'LlamaDecoderLayer' \ --tf32 True \ --model_max_length 2048 \ --gradient_checkpointing True \ --lazy_preprocess True ``` If you meet out-of-memory during model saving, see solutions [here](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/98823). ### Other models and LoRA support More instructions to train other models (e.g., FastChat-T5) and use LoRA are in [docs/training.md](docs/training.md). ### Fine-tuning on Any Cloud with SkyPilot [SkyPilot](https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot) is a framework built by UC Berkeley for easily and cost effectively running ML workloads on any cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, Lambda, etc.). Find SkyPilot documentation [here](https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot/tree/master/llm/vicuna) on using managed spot instances to train Vicuna and save on your cloud costs. ## Citation The code (training, serving, and evaluation) in this repository is mostly developed for or derived from the paper below.
