Text generation web UI

A gradio web UI for running Large Language Models like LLaMA, llama.cpp, GPT-J, Pythia, OPT, and GALACTICA.

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

Features

Installation

One-click installers

Windows Linux macOS
oobabooga-windows.zip oobabooga-linux.zip oobabooga-macos.zip

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

Manual installation using Conda

Recommended if you have some experience with the command line.

On Windows, I additionally recommend carrying out the installation on WSL instead of the base system: WSL installation guide.

0. Install Conda

https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

On Linux or WSL, it can be automatically installed with these two commands:

curl -sL "https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh" > "Miniconda3.sh"
bash Miniconda3.sh

Source: https://educe-ubc.github.io/conda.html

1. Create a new conda environment

conda create -n textgen python=3.10.9
conda activate textgen

2. Install Pytorch

System GPU Command
Linux/WSL NVIDIA pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio
Linux AMD pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2
MacOS + MPS (untested) Any pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio

The up-to-date commands can be found here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.

2.1 Special instructions

3. Install the web UI

git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install GPTQ

The base installation covers transformers models (AutoModelForCausalLM and AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM specifically) and llama.cpp (GGML) models.

To use GPTQ models, the additional installation steps below are necessary:

GPTQ models (4 bit mode)

Note about bitsandbytes

bitsandbytes >= 0.39 may not work on older NVIDIA GPUs. In that case, to use --load-in-8bit, you may have to downgrade like this:

  • Linux: pip install bitsandbytes==0.38.1
  • Windows: pip install https://github.com/jllllll/bitsandbytes-windows-webui/raw/main/bitsandbytes-0.38.1-py3-none-any.whl

Alternative: manual Windows installation

As an alternative to the recommended WSL method, you can install the web UI natively on Windows using this guide. It will be a lot harder and the performance may be slower: Windows installation guide.

Alternative: Docker

ln -s docker/{Dockerfile,docker-compose.yml,.dockerignore} .
cp docker/.env.example .env
# Edit .env and set TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST based on your GPU model
docker compose up --build
  • You need to have docker compose v2.17 or higher installed. See this guide for instructions.
  • For additional docker files, check out this repository.

Updating the requirements

From time to time, the requirements.txt changes. To update, use this command:

conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

Downloading models

Models should be placed inside the models/ folder.

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

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

python download-model.py organization/model

For example:

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.

  • If you want to download a protected model (one gated behind accepting a license or otherwise private, like bigcode/starcoder) you can set the environment variables HF_USER to your huggingface username and HF_PASS to your password or (as a better option) to a User Access Token. Note that you will need to accept the model terms on the Hugging Face website before starting the download.

GGML models

You can drop these directly into the models/ folder, making sure that the file name contains ggml somewhere and ends in .bin.

GPT-4chan

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

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

Starting the web UI

conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py

Then browse to

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

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

Basic settings

Flag Description
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
--notebook Launch the web UI in notebook mode, where the output is written to the same text box as the input.
--chat Launch the web UI in chat mode.
--character CHARACTER The name of the character to load in chat mode by default.
--model MODEL Name of the model to load by default.
--lora LORA [LORA ...] The list of LoRAs to load. If you want to load more than one LoRA, write the names separated by spaces.
--model-dir MODEL_DIR Path to directory with all the models.
--lora-dir LORA_DIR Path to directory with all the loras.
--model-menu Show a model menu in the terminal when the web UI is first launched.
--no-stream Don't stream the text output in real time.
--settings SETTINGS_FILE Load the default interface settings from this yaml file. See settings-template.yaml for an example. If you create a file called settings.yaml, this file will be loaded by default without the need to use the --settings flag.
--extensions EXTENSIONS [EXTENSIONS ...] The list of extensions to load. If you want to load more than one extension, write the names separated by spaces.
--verbose Print the prompts to the terminal.

Accelerate/transformers

Flag Description
--cpu Use the CPU to generate text. Warning: Training on CPU is extremely slow.
--auto-devices Automatically split the model across the available GPU(s) and CPU.
--gpu-memory GPU_MEMORY [GPU_MEMORY ...] Maxmimum GPU memory in GiB to be allocated per GPU. Example: --gpu-memory 10 for a single GPU, --gpu-memory 10 5 for two GPUs. You can also set values in MiB like --gpu-memory 3500MiB.
--cpu-memory CPU_MEMORY Maximum CPU memory in GiB to allocate for offloaded weights. Same as above.
--disk If the model is too large for your GPU(s) and CPU combined, send the remaining layers to the disk.
--disk-cache-dir DISK_CACHE_DIR Directory to save the disk cache to. Defaults to cache/.
--load-in-8bit Load the model with 8-bit precision (using bitsandbytes).
--bf16 Load the model with bfloat16 precision. Requires NVIDIA Ampere GPU.
--no-cache Set use_cache to False while generating text. This reduces the VRAM usage a bit with a performance cost.
--xformers Use xformer's memory efficient attention. This should increase your tokens/s.
--sdp-attention Use torch 2.0's sdp attention.
--trust-remote-code Set trust_remote_code=True while loading a model. Necessary for ChatGLM and Falcon.

--groupsize GROUPSIZE Group size.
--pre_layer PRE_LAYER [PRE_LAYER ...] The number of layers to allocate to the GPU. Setting this parameter enables CPU offloading for 4-bit models. For multi-gpu, write the numbers separated by spaces, eg --pre_layer 30 60.

Presets

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

By default, 10 presets based on NovelAI and KoboldAI presets 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.
