Welcome to this comprehensive guide on leveraging Pruna AI’s capabilities to compress your AI models. If you want to create models that are cheaper, smaller, faster, and more environmentally friendly, this article will walk you through all the essential steps. We will also troubleshoot common issues, ensuring your experience is as smooth as possible!

Understanding Model Compression

Model compression can be likened to packing for a vacation. Imagine you have a huge suitcase filled with clothes for every occasion. Now, you need to go on a trip—but your suitcase is too heavy for the plane. What do you do? You carefully inspect your items, keep only the essentials, and pack them more efficiently to make everything fit. Similarly, model compression reduces unnecessary weights in AI models while retaining the core functionalities. By compressing AI models, you can make them more efficient without entirely sacrificing quality.

Getting Started

Step 1: Downloading the Model Files

You can download the specific model files you need from the Pruna repository. It’s best to choose a single file format (like GGUF) instead of cloning the entire repository due to size considerations. Here’s how:

• Option A: Use tools like LM Studio or LoLLMS Web UI that automatically download models.
• Option B: For command line users, you can also download model files using the huggingface-hub Python library. Use the command below:

pip3 install huggingface-hub
huggingface-cli download PrunaAI/zephyr-orpo-141b-A35b-v0.1-GGUF-smashed-smashed zephyr-orpo-141b-A35b-v0.1.IQ3_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

Step 2: Run the Model

Once you have the model file downloaded, you can run it in GGUF format. Depending on your preference, you can choose from a few different options:

• Option A: Run using the llama.cpp command.
• Option B: Use the text-generation-webui.
• Option C: Utilize Python with llama-cpp-python library.
• Option D: Run with LangChain and follow the integration guides.

Example for Running a Model using Python

Here’s a simple example for running the model in Python:

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="./zephyr-orpo-141b-A35b-v0.1.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
)

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues or have questions, here are some common troubleshooting ideas:

• Make sure you have the correct version of the libraries, especially llama.cpp. Check for updates regularly.
• If you are running Python scripts, ensure all dependencies are installed properly. Use pip to install any missing libraries.
• If downloads are slow, check your internet connection and consider using the hf_transfer tool for faster speeds.
• In case of execution errors, review input formats, especially the model prompts to ensure they conform to expected parameters.
