A gradio web UI for running Large Language Models like GPT-J 6B, OPT, GALACTICA, GPT-Neo, and Pygmalion.

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

[Try it on Google Colab]

• Switch between different models using a dropdown menu.
• Notebook mode that resembles OpenAI's playground.
• Chat mode for conversation and role playing.
• Generate nice HTML output for GPT-4chan.
• Generate Markdown output for GALACTICA, including LaTeX support.
• Support for Pygmalion and custom characters in JSON or TavernAI Character Card formats (FAQ).
• Advanced chat features (send images, get audio responses with TTS).
• Stream the text output in real time.
• Load parameter presets from text files.
• Load large models in 8-bit mode (see here and here if you are on Windows).
• Split large models across your GPU(s), CPU, and disk.
• CPU mode.
• FlexGen offload.
• DeepSpeed ZeRO-3 offload.
• Get responses via API.
• Supports softprompts.
• Supports extensions.
• Works on Google Colab.

Open a terminal and copy and paste these commands one at a time (install conda first if you don't have it already):

conda create -n textgen
conda activate textgen
conda install torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.7 git -c pytorch -c nvidia
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt

The third line assumes that you have an NVIDIA GPU.

• If you have an AMD GPU, replace the third command with this one:

pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.2

• If you are running in CPU mode, replace the third command with this one:

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio git -c pytorch

oobabooga-windows.zip

oobabooga-linux.zip

Just download the zip above, extract it, and double click on "install". The web UI and all its dependencies will be installed in the same folder.

• To download a model, double click on "download-model"
• To start the web UI, double click on "start-webui"

Models should be placed under models/model-name. For instance, models/gpt-j-6B for GPT-J 6B.

Hugging Face is the main place to download models. These are some noteworthy examples:

• GPT-J 6B
• GPT-Neo
• Pythia
• OPT
• GALACTICA
• *-Erebus
• Pygmalion

You can automatically download a model from HF using the script download-model.py:

python download-model.py organization/model

For instance:

python download-model.py facebook/opt-1.3b

If you want to download a model manually, note that all you need are the json, txt, and pytorch*.bin (or model*.safetensors) files. The remaining files are not necessary.

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

• Torrent: 16-bit / 32-bit
• Direct download: 16-bit / 32-bit

The 32-bit version is only relevant if you intend to run the model in CPU mode. Otherwise, you should use the 16-bit version.

After downloading the model, follow these steps:

1. Place the files under models/gpt4chan_model_float16 or models/gpt4chan_model.
2. Place GPT-J 6B's config.json file in that same folder: config.json.
3. Download GPT-J 6B's tokenizer files (they will be automatically detected when you attempt to load GPT-4chan):

python download-model.py EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B --text-only

conda activate textgen
python server.py

Then browse to

http://localhost:7860/?__theme=dark

Optionally, you can use the following command-line flags:

Out of memory errors? Check this guide.

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

By default, 10 presets by NovelAI and KoboldAI are included. These were selected out of a sample of 43 presets after applying a K-Means clustering algorithm and selecting the elements closest to the average of each cluster.

Check the wiki for some examples of VRAM and RAM usage in both GPU and CPU mode.

Pull requests, suggestions, and issue reports are welcome.

Before reporting a bug, make sure that you have created a conda environment and installed the dependencies exactly as in the Installation section above.

These issues are known:

• 8-bit doesn't work properly on Windows or older GPUs.
• DeepSpeed doesn't work properly on Windows.

For these two, please try commenting on an existing issue instead of creating a new one.
