Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:
1) Select a domain name and web hosting plan
2) Complete a sitemap
3) List your products
4) Write product descriptions
5) Create a user account
6) Build the template
7) Start building the website
8) Advertise the website
9) Provide email support
10) Submit the website to search engines
A website is a collection of web pages that are formatted with HTML. HTML is the code that defines what the website looks like and how it behaves.
The HTML code is formatted into a template or a format. Once this is done, it is displayed on the user's browser.
The web pages are stored in a web server. The web server is also called a host. When the website is accessed, it is retrieved from the server and displayed on the user's computer.
A website is known as a website when it is hosted. This means that it is displayed on a host. The host is usually a web server.
A website can be displayed on different browsers. The browsers are basically the software that renders the website on the user's screen.
A website can also be viewed on different devices such as desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Hence, to have a website displayed on a browser, the website must be hosted.
A domain name is an address of a website. It is the name of the website.

And here is another demo of running both LLaMA-7B and [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) on a single M1 Pro MacBook:

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1991296/224442907-7693d4be-acaa-4e01-8b4f-add84093ffff.mp4

## Usage

Here are the steps for the LLaMA-7B model.

### Get the Code

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
```

### Build

In order to build llama.cpp you have three different options.

- Using `make`:
  - On Linux or MacOS:

      ```bash
      make
      ```

  - On Windows:

    1. Download the latest fortran version of [w64devkit](https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases).
    2. Extract `w64devkit` on your pc.
    3. Run `w64devkit.exe`.
    4. Use the `cd` command to reach the `llama.cpp` folder.
    5. From here you can run:
        ```bash
        make
        ```

- Using `CMake`:

    ```bash
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    cmake --build . --config Release
    ```

- Using `Zig`:

    ```bash
    zig build -Drelease-fast
    ```

### BLAS Build

Building the program with BLAS support may lead to some performance improvements in prompt processing using batch sizes higher than 32 (the default is 512). BLAS doesn't affect the normal generation performance. There are currently three different implementations of it:

- Accelerate Framework:

  This is only available on Mac PCs and it's enabled by default. You can just build using the normal instructions.

- OpenBLAS:

  This provides BLAS acceleration using only the CPU. Make sure to have OpenBLAS installed on your machine.

  - Using `make`:
    - On Linux:
      ```bash
      make LLAMA_OPENBLAS=1
      ```
      Note: In order to build on Arch Linux with OpenBLAS support enabled you must edit the Makefile adding at the end of the line 105: `-lcblas`

    - On Windows:

      1. Download the latest fortran version of [w64devkit](https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases).
      2. Download the latest version of [OpenBLAS for Windows](https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases).
      3. Extract `w64devkit` on your pc.
      4. From the OpenBLAS zip that you just downloaded copy `libopenblas.a`, located inside the `lib` folder, inside `w64devkit\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib`.
      5. From the same OpenBLAS zip copy the content of the `include` folder inside `w64devkit\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include`.
      6. Run `w64devkit.exe`.
      7. Use the `cd` command to reach the `llama.cpp` folder.
      8. From here you can run:

          ```bash
          make LLAMA_OPENBLAS=1
          ```

  - Using `CMake` on Linux:

      ```bash
      mkdir build
      cd build
      cmake .. -DLLAMA_OPENBLAS=ON
      cmake --build . --config Release
      ```

- cuBLAS

  This provides BLAS acceleration using the CUDA cores of your Nvidia GPU. Make sure to have the CUDA toolkit installed. You can download it from your Linux distro's package manager or from here: [CUDA Toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads).
  - Using `make`:
    ```bash
    make LLAMA_CUBLAS=1
    ```
  - Using `CMake`:

    ```bash
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake .. -DLLAMA_CUBLAS=ON
    cmake --build . --config Release
    ```

### Prepare Data & Run

```bash
# obtain the original LLaMA model weights and place them in ./models
ls ./models
65B 30B 13B 7B tokenizer_checklist.chk tokenizer.model

# install Python dependencies
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# convert the 7B model to ggml FP16 format
python3 convert.py models/7B/

# quantize the model to 4-bits (using q4_0 method)
./quantize ./models/7B/ggml-model-f16.bin ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin q4_0

# run the inference
./main -m ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -n 128
```

When running the larger models, make sure you have enough disk space to store all the intermediate files.

### Memory/Disk Requirements

As the models are currently fully loaded into memory, you will need adequate disk space to save them and sufficient RAM to load them. At the moment, memory and disk requirements are the same.

| Model | Original size | Quantized size (4-bit) |
|------:|--------------:|-----------------------:|
|    7B |         13 GB |                 3.9 GB |
|   13B |         24 GB |                 7.8 GB |
|   30B |         60 GB |                19.5 GB |
|   65B |        120 GB |                38.5 GB |

### Quantization

Several quantization methods are supported. They differ in the resulting model disk size and inference speed.

| Model | Measure      | F16    | Q4_0   | Q4_1   | Q4_2   | Q5_0   | Q5_1   | Q8_0   |
|------:|--------------|-------:|-------:|-------:|-------:|-------:|-------:|-------:|
|    7B | perplexity   | 5.9565 | 6.2103 | 6.1286 | 6.1698 | 6.0139 | 5.9934 | 5.9571 |
|    7B | file size    |  13.0G |   4.0G |   4.8G |   4.0G |   4.4G |   4.8G |   7.1G |
|    7B | ms/tok @ 4th |    128 |     56 |     61 |     84 |     91 |     95 |     75 |
|    7B | ms/tok @ 8th |    128 |     47 |     55 |     48 |     53 |     59 |     75 |
|    7B | bits/weight  |   16.0 |    5.0 |    6.0 |    5.0 |    5.5 |    6.0 |    9.0 |
|   13B | perplexity   | 5.2455 | 5.3748 | 5.3471 | 5.3433 | 5.2768 | 5.2582 | 5.2458 |
|   13B | file size    |  25.0G |   7.6G |   9.1G |   7.6G |   8.4G |   9.1G |    14G |
|   13B | ms/tok @ 4th |    239 |    104 |    113 |    160 |    176 |    185 |    141 |
|   13B | ms/tok @ 8th |    240 |     85 |     99 |     97 |    108 |    117 |    147 |
|   13B | bits/weight  |   16.0 |    5.0 |    6.0 |    5.0 |    5.5 |    6.0 |    9.0 |

### Interactive mode

If you want a more ChatGPT-like experience, you can run in interactive mode by passing `-i` as a parameter.
In this mode, you can always interrupt generation by pressing Ctrl+C and entering one or more lines of text, which will be converted into tokens and appended to the current context. You can also specify a *reverse prompt* with the parameter `-r "reverse prompt string"`. This will result in user input being prompted whenever the exact tokens of the reverse prompt string are encountered in the generation. A typical use is to use a prompt that makes LLaMa emulate a chat between multiple users, say Alice and Bob, and pass `-r "Alice:"`.

Here is an example of a few-shot interaction, invoked with the command

```bash
# default arguments using a 7B model
./examples/chat.sh

# advanced chat with a 13B model
./examples/chat-13B.sh

# custom arguments using a 13B model

### Instruction mode with Alpaca

1. First, download the `ggml` Alpaca model into the `./models` folder
2. Run the `main` tool like this:

```
./examples/alpaca.sh
```

Sample run:

```
== Running in interactive mode. ==
 - Press Ctrl+C to interject at any time.
 - Press Return to return control to LLaMa.
 - If you want to submit another line, end your input in '\'.

 Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

> How many letters are there in the English alphabet?
There 26 letters in the English Alphabet
> What is the most common way of transportation in Amsterdam?
The majority (54%) are using public transit. This includes buses, trams and metros with over 100 lines throughout the city which make it very accessible for tourists to navigate around town as well as locals who commute by tram or metro on a daily basis
> List 5 words that start with "ca".
cadaver, cauliflower, cabbage (vegetable), catalpa (tree) and Cailleach.

### Using [GPT4All](https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all)

- Obtain the `tokenizer.model` file from LLaMA model and put it to `models`
- Obtain the `added_tokens.json` file from Alpaca model and put it to `models`
- Obtain the `gpt4all-lora-quantized.bin` file from GPT4All model and put it to `models/gpt4all-7B`
- It is distributed in the old `ggml` format which is now obsoleted
- You have to convert it to the new format using `convert.py`:

```bash
python3 convert.py models/gpt4all-7B/gpt4all-lora-quantized.bin
```

- You can now use the newly generated `models/gpt4all-7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin` model in exactly the same way as all other models

- The newer GPT4All-J model is not yet supported!

### Obtaining the Facebook LLaMA original model and Stanford Alpaca model data

- **Under no circumstances should IPFS, magnet links, or any other links to model downloads be shared anywhere in this repository, including in issues, discussions, or pull requests. They will be immediately deleted.**
- The LLaMA models are officially distributed by Facebook and will **never** be provided through this repository.
- Refer to [Facebook's LLaMA repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/pull/73/files) if you need to request access to the model data.

### Verifying the model files

Please verify the [sha256 checksums](SHA256SUMS) of all downloaded model files to confirm that you have the correct model data files before creating an issue relating to your model files.
- The following python script will verify if you have all possible latest files in your self-installed `./models` subdirectory:

```bash
# run the verification script
python3 .\scripts\verify-checksum-models.py
```

- On linux or macOS it is also possible to run the following commands to verify if you have all possible latest files in your self-installed `./models` subdirectory:
    - On Linux: `sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS`
    - on macOS: `shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS`

### Seminal papers and background on the models

If your issue is with model generation quality, then please at least scan the following links and papers to understand the limitations of LLaMA models. This is especially important when choosing an appropriate model size and appreciating both the significant and subtle differences between LLaMA models and ChatGPT:
- LLaMA:
    - [Introducing LLaMA: A foundational, 65-billion-parameter large language model](https://ai.facebook.com/blog/large-language-model-llama-meta-ai/)
    - [LLaMA: Open and Efficient Foundation Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13971)
- GPT-3
    - [Language Models are Few-Shot Learners](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165)
- GPT-3.5 / InstructGPT / ChatGPT:
    - [Aligning language models to follow instructions](https://openai.com/research/instruction-following)
    - [Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.02155)

### Perplexity (measuring model quality)

You can use the `perplexity` example to measure perplexity over the given prompt. For more background, see [https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity). However, in general, lower perplexity is better for LLMs.

#### Latest measurements

The latest perplexity scores for the various model sizes and quantizations are being tracked in [discussion #406](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/406). `llama.cpp` is measuring very well compared to the baseline implementations. Quantization has a small negative impact on quality, but, as you can see, running
13B at q4_0 beats the 7B f16 model by a significant amount.

All measurements are done against the wikitext2 test dataset (https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/wikitext-2), with default options (512 length context).
Note that changing the context length will have a significant impact on perplexity (longer context = better perplexity).
```
Perplexity - model options
5.5985 - 13B, q4_0
5.9565 - 7B, f16
6.3001 - 7B, q4_1
6.5949 - 7B, q4_0
6.5995 - 7B, q4_0, --memory_f16
```

#### How to run

1. Download/extract: https://s3.amazonaws.com/research.metamind.io/wikitext/wikitext-2-raw-v1.zip?ref=salesforce-research
2. Run `./perplexity -m models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -f wiki.test.raw`
3. Output:
```
perplexity : calculating perplexity over 655 chunks
24.43 seconds per pass - ETA 4.45 hours
[1]4.5970,[2]5.1807,[3]6.0382,...
```
And after 4.45 hours, you will have the final perplexity.

### Android

You can easily run `llama.cpp` on Android device with [termux](https://termux.dev/).
First, obtain the [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk) and then build with CMake:
```
$ mkdir build-android
$ cd build-android
$ export NDK=<your_ndk_directory>
$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-23 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-march=armv8.4a+dotprod ..
$ make
```
Install [termux](https://termux.dev/) on your device and run `termux-setup-storage` to get access to your SD card.
Finally, copy the `llama` binary and the model files to your device storage. Here is a demo of an interactive session running on Pixel 5 phone:

### Docker

#### Prerequisites
* Docker must be installed and running on your system.
* Create a folder to store big models & intermediate files (ex. /llama/models)

#### Images
We have two Docker images available for this project:

1. `ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full`: This image includes both the main executable file and the tools to convert LLaMA models into ggml and convert into 4-bit quantization.
2. `ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:light`: This image only includes the main executable file.

#### Usage

The easiest way to download the models, convert them to ggml and optimize them is with the --all-in-one command which includes the full docker image.

Replace `/path/to/models` below with the actual path where you downloaded the models.

```bash
docker run -v /path/to/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full --all-in-one "/models/" 7B
```

On completion, you are ready to play!

```bash
docker run -v /path/to/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full --run -m /models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 512
```

or with a light image:

```bash
docker run -v /path/to/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:light -m /models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 512
```

### Coding guidelines

- Avoid adding third-party dependencies, extra files, extra headers, etc.
- Always consider cross-compatibility with other operating systems and architectures
- Avoid fancy looking modern STL constructs, use basic `for` loops, avoid templates, keep it simple
- There are no strict rules for the code style, but try to follow the patterns in the code (indentation, spaces, etc.). Vertical alignment makes things more readable and easier to batch edit
- Clean-up any trailing whitespaces, use 4 spaces for indentation, brackets on the same line, `void * ptr`, `int & a`
- See [good first issues](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) for tasks suitable for first contributions
