# Text generation web UI
A Gradio web UI for Large Language Models.
Its goal is to become the [AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui) of text generation.

To learn how to use the various features, check out the Documentation: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/tree/main/docs
## Installation
### One-click installers
1) Clone or download the repository.
2) Run the `start_linux.sh`, `start_windows.bat`, `start_macos.sh`, or `start_wsl.bat` script depending on your OS.
3) Select your GPU vendor when asked.
4) Have fun!
#### How it works
The script creates a folder called `installer_files` where it sets up a Conda environment using Miniconda. The installation is self-contained: if you want to reinstall, just delete `installer_files` and run the start script again.
To launch the webui in the future after it is already installed, run the same `start` script.
#### Getting updates
Run `update_linux.sh`, `update_windows.bat`, `update_macos.sh`, or `update_wsl.bat`.
#### Running commands
If you ever need to install something manually in the `installer_files` environment, you can launch an interactive shell using the cmd script: `cmd_linux.sh`, `cmd_windows.bat`, `cmd_macos.sh`, or `cmd_wsl.bat`.
#### Defining command-line flags
To define persistent command-line flags like `--listen` or `--api`, edit the `CMD_FLAGS.txt` file with a text editor and add them there. Flags can also be provided directly to the start scripts, for instance, `./start-linux.sh --listen`.
#### Other info
* There is no need to run any of those scripts as admin/root.
* For additional instructions about AMD setup, WSL setup, and nvcc installation, consult [this page](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/One-Click-Installers.md).
* The installer has been tested mostly on NVIDIA GPUs. If you can find a way to improve it for your AMD/Intel Arc/Mac Metal GPU, you are highly encouraged to submit a PR to this repository. The main file to be edited is `one_click.py`.
* For automated installation, you can use the `GPU_CHOICE` and `LAUNCH_AFTER_INSTALL` environment variables. For instance: `GPU_CHOICE=A LAUNCH_AFTER_INSTALL=False ./start_linux.sh`.
### Manual installation using Conda
Recommended if you have some experience with the command-line.
#### 0. Install Conda
https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
On Linux or WSL, it can be automatically installed with these two commands ([source](https://educe-ubc.github.io/conda.html)):
```
curl -sL "https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh" > "Miniconda3.sh"
bash Miniconda3.sh
```
#### 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/WSL | CPU only | `pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu` |
| Linux | AMD | `pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2` |
| MacOS + MPS | Any | `pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio` |
| Windows | NVIDIA | `pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117` |
| Windows | CPU only | `pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio` |
The up-to-date commands can be found here: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.
#### 3. Install the web UI
```
git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
#### AMD, Metal, Intel Arc, and CPUs without AVX2
1) Replace the last command above with
```
pip install -r requirements_nowheels.txt
```
2) Manually install llama-cpp-python using the appropriate command for your hardware: [Installation from PyPI](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python#installation-from-pypi).
3) Do the same for CTransformers: [Installation](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers#installation).
4) AMD: Manually install AutoGPTQ: [Installation](https://github.com/PanQiWei/AutoGPTQ#installation).
5) AMD: Manually install [ExLlama](https://github.com/turboderp/exllama) by simply cloning it into the `repositories` folder (it will be automatically compiled at runtime after that):
```
cd text-generation-webui
git clone https://github.com/turboderp/exllama repositories/exllama
```
#### bitsandbytes on older NVIDIA GPUs
bitsandbytes >= 0.39 may not work. 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: 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](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/blob/main/docs/Docker.md) for instructions.
* For additional docker files, check out [this repository](https://github.com/Atinoda/text-generation-webui-docker).
### Updating the requirements
From time to time, the `requirements.txt` changes. To update, use these commands:
```
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
```
## Downloading models
Models should be placed in the `text-generation-webui/models` folder. They are usually downloaded from [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=text-generation&sort=downloads).
* Transformers or GPTQ models are made of several files and must be placed in a subfolder. Example:
```
text-generation-webui
├── models
│   ├── lmsys_vicuna-33b-v1.3
│   │   ├── config.json
│   │   ├── generation_config.json
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00001-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00002-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00003-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00004-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00005-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00006-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model-00007-of-00007.bin
│   │   ├── pytorch_model.bin.index.json
│   │   ├── special_tokens_map.json
│   │   ├── tokenizer_config.json
│   │   └── tokenizer.model
```
* GGUF models are a single file and should be placed directly into `models`. Example:
```
text-generation-webui
├── models
│   ├── llama-2-13b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf
```
In both cases, you can use the "Model" tab of the UI to download the model from Hugging Face automatically. It is also possible to download via the command-line with `python download-model.py organization/model` (use `--help` to see all the options).
#### GPT-4chan
<details>
<summary>
Instructions
</summary>
[GPT-4chan](https://huggingface.co/ykilcher/gpt-4chan) has been shut down from Hugging Face, so you need to download it elsewhere. You have two options:
* Torrent: [16-bit](https://archive.org/details/gpt4chan_model_float16) / [32-bit](https://archive.org/details/gpt4chan_model)
* Direct download: [16-bit](https://theswissbay.ch/pdf/_notpdf_/gpt4chan_model_float16/) / [32-bit](https://theswissbay.ch/pdf/_notpdf_/gpt4chan_model/)
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](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B/raw/main/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
```
When you load this model in default or notebook modes, the "HTML" tab will show the generated text in 4chan format:

## Starting the web UI
conda activate textgen
cd text-generation-webui
python server.py

Optionally, you can use the following command-line flags:
#### Basic settings
| Flag | Description |
|--------------------------------------------|-------------|
| `-h`, `--help` | Show this help message and exit. |

Inference settings presets can be created under `presets/` as yaml files. These files are detected automatically at startup.
The presets that are included by default are the result of a contest that received 7215 votes. More details can be found [here](https://github.com/oobabooga/oobabooga.github.io/blob/main/arena/results.md).
