In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, there’s a constant demand for models that are not just powerful but also efficient. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your AI models cheaper, smaller, and greener, look no further than Pruna AI. In this guide, we’ll explore how to download, run, and even compress models using the Pruna platform. Plus, we’ll share some troubleshooting tips to keep your journey smooth!

Getting Started with Pruna AI

Pruna AI provides GGUF versions of various AI models, specifically the xtunerllava-llama-3-8b-v1_1 model. The core aim is simple: to compress AI models significantly without compromising their performance. Let’s jump into how you can achieve this!

Step 1: Downloading GGUF Models

Before you can compress a model, you’ll need to download it. Here’s a quick walkthrough:

Option A – Using Text-Generation-WebUI

• Under “Download Model”, enter the model repo: PrunaAIllava-llama-3-8b-v1_1-GGUF-smashed.
• Provide a filename to download, like: phi-2.IQ3_M.gguf.
• Click “Download”.

Option B – Command Line Download

If you’re a command-line wizard, this option’s for you! Utilize the huggingface-hub Python library as follows:

• Run pip3 install huggingface-hub.
• Download your model file with a command like: huggingface-cli download PrunaAIllava-llama-3-8b-v1_1-GGUF-smashed llava-llama-3-8b-v1_1.IQ3_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False.

Step 2: Running the Models

Running your GGUF models can be accomplished in several ways:

Option A – Running via Command Line

Use the llama.cpp command:

shell.main -ngl 35 -m llava-llama-3-8b-v1_1.IQ3_M.gguf --color -c 32768 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p s[INST] prompt [INST]

This command can be thought of as configuring a high-tech coffee machine. You’re specifying how many cups (ngl), the type of coffee (model), the volume of coffee you want (sequence length), and other adjustments to customize your brew!

Option B – Running in Text-Generation-WebUI

Further instructions can be found in the text-generation-webui documentation.

Option C – Running with Python Code

You can also use a Python script to run your GGUF models:

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path=".llava-llama-3-8b-v1_1.IQ3_M.gguf",
    n_ctx=32768,
    n_threads=8,
    n_gpu_layers=35
)

output = llm(s"[INST] prompt [INST]", max_tokens=512, stop=[s], echo=True)

Think of this like writing a recipe for your favorite dish, where you specify the ingredients (model parameters) and the cooking steps (code execution) to achieve your final delicacy (output).

Troubleshooting Your Experience

• Model Not Downloading: Ensure you have a stable internet connection and the URL is correctly entered.
• Running Errors: Check your command line arguments and ensure they align with your system’s capabilities, much like fitting puzzle pieces together.
• Performance Issues: If the model runs slow, consider reducing the sequence length or adjusting the GPU allocation.
