  6. How does it compare with something like FastChat? https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat Feature set seems like a decent amount of overlap. One limitation of FastChat, as far as I can tell, is that one is limited to the models that FastChat…

  12. https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat The hardest part is downloading the 30GB of weights.
  13. These days I use FastChat: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat It’s not based on llama.cpp but huggingface transformers but can also run on CPU. It works well, can be distributed and very conveniently provide the same REST API than OpenAI…

    comment by whimsicalism · 2023-04-11 · in The Coming of Local LLMs
  19. This is incorrect. According to the official https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-weights you need the original Llama weights before applying the Vicuna diff.
  20. And I think the problem of taking the roles of users in vicuna is caused by this bug: https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/commit/1bb234265d16bdfd50... which has been fixed recently. Lmsys are launching new training jobs after this patch,…
  21. The github page ( https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-weights ) is better: > We release Vicuna weights as delta weights to comply with the LLaMA model license. You can add our delta to the original LLaMA weights to obtain the Vicuna…

  24. Yes, you need to convert the original LLaMA model to the huggingface format, according to https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-weights and https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/model_doc/llam...
  25. …it becomes less unlikely. Edit: Also, judging by a comment from the team in the GitHub repository ( https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/issues/86#issuecomment-14... ), they seem to at least hint about been in contact with the llama team.
  26. You can use this command to apply the delta weights. ( https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-13b ) The delta weights are hosted on huggingface and will be automatically downloaded.
  27. …in their instruction, the delta will be automatically downloaded and applied to the base model. https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna-13b : `python3 -m fastchat.model.apply_delta --base /path/to/llama-13b --target…
  28. …Check out detailed CLI instructions and SkyPilot YAMLs here if you want to give it a try: - https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat#vicuna - https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/blob/main/scripts/train-v...
