Greetings, I am trying to install a model on Ubuntu 20.04 on wsl2 (Cuda version 11.7 installed), but I ran into a problem.
I'm trying to run the code from here: https://huggingface.co/togethercomputer/GPT-NeoXT-Chat-Base-20B#gpu-inference-in-int8, but an error occurs when I try to run it:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./GPT-NeoXT-Chat-Base-20B.py", line 4, in <module>
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("togethercomputer/GPT-NeoXT-Chat-Base-20B", device_map="auto", load_in_8bit=True)

return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/metadata.py", line 177, in from_name
raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: bitsandbytes
Even though I have installed the bitsanbytes library:
pip install bitsandbytes-cuda117
Please tell me what to do in this situation.
