Deploying and Using the Granite-20B Code Model

May 25, 2024 | Educational

The Granite-20B Code Model is a powerful tool designed for text generation tasks across multiple programming languages. This article serves as your guide to deploying and using the model effectively, along with some troubleshooting tips to help you out along the way.

Step-by-step Guide

  • Step 1: Choose the Right Quantization
    The Granite-20B model comes with different quantization formats. Choose one based on your system’s RAM and VRAM. The recommended options include:

  • Step 2: Install Hugging Face CLI
    To download specific files, first, ensure you have Hugging Face CLI installed with the command:

    pip install -U huggingface_hub[cli]
  • Step 3: Download the Model
    Use appropriate commands to target the specific file you want. For example:

    huggingface-cli download bartowski/granite-20b-code-instruct-GGUF --include granite-20b-code-instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Understanding the Model’s Metrics

The Granite-20B model provides metrics that can be analyzed to understand its performance across various programming languages:

  • Pass Rate: Each language has a uniqueness in its performance measured by a pass metric. For example:
    • Python: 60.4% pass@1
    • JavaScript: 53.7% pass@1
    • Java: 58.5% pass@1

Think of it like a student taking an exam in multiple subjects; some subjects might have higher scores than others, illustrating the model’s strengths and weaknesses in different areas.

Troubleshooting

Even the mightiest of models can face hiccups. Here are some common issues and their solutions:

  • Issue: File Download Fails
    Ensure you’re using the correct file name and that your internet connection is stable. If issues persist, try re-running the download command.
  • Issue: Insufficient Memory
    If your system runs into memory issues, consider selecting a lower-quality quantization or increasing your system’s swap space.
  • Query: Performance Figures
