How to Download and Use WizardLM’s WizardCoder Model

Aug 24, 2023 | Educational

In the world of AI, models like WizardLM’s WizardCoder 15B 1.0 serve as powerful tools for text generation, especially in coding contexts. In this guide, we’ll break down the steps to easily download and utilize this model in your projects.

What is WizardCoder?

WizardCoder is a Code Large Language Model (LLM) designed to perform coding tasks more effectively. It is built using advanced methodologies such as the Evol-Instruct method, fine-tuned specifically for generating code-related outcomes.

Downloading WizardCoder Using text-generation-webui

Follow these user-friendly steps to download and get started with the WizardCoder model:

  1. Ensure you have the latest version of text-generation-webui.
  2. Click the Model tab.
  3. Under Download custom model or LoRA, enter TheBlokeWizardCoder-15-1.0-GPTQ.
  4. Click Download and wait for it to finish. You will see a Done message once the download completes.
  5. Refresh the Model dropdown in the top left corner.
  6. Select the downloaded model, WizardCoder-15-1.0-GPTQ, from the dropdown list.
  7. The model will automatically load and be ready for use!
  8. If you wish to customize settings, set them and then click Save settings for this model, followed by Reload the Model.
  9. Now, click the Text Generation tab and enter a prompt to begin the fun!

Using WizardCoder with Python

If you prefer coding directly with Python, here’s how to do it:

  1. Make sure to install AutoGPTQ:
  2. pip install auto-gptq
  3. Use the following sample code:
  4. 
    from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline, logging
    from auto_gptq import AutoGPTQForCausalLM, BaseQuantizeConfig
    
    # Initialize model name or path
    model_name_or_path = "TheBlokeWizardCoder-15-1.0-GPTQ"
    
    # Load AutoTokenizer
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, use_fast=True)
    
    # Load the quantized model
    model = AutoGPTQForCausalLM.from_quantized(model_name_or_path, use_safetensors=True, device='cuda:0', use_triton=False, quantize_config=None)
    
    # Prevent warnings
    logging.set_verbosity(logging.CRITICAL)
    
    # Create a pipeline for text generation
    pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
    
    # Set prompt template
    prompt_template = "Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.\n### Instruction: {instruction}\n### Response:"
        
    # Prepare your instruction
    prompt = prompt_template.format(instruction="How do I sort a list in Python?")
    
    # Execute the pipe
    outputs = pipe(prompt, max_new_tokens=256, do_sample=True, temperature=0.2, top_k=50, top_p=0.95)
    print(outputs[0]['generated_text'])
    

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Imagine you are a chef trying to create a new dish using a variety of ingredients in your kitchen. In this analogy:

  • The ingredients are the data you train on (like code examples).
  • The cooking process represents loading your model and preparing it to generate outputs.
  • Your recipes equate to the prompts; they guide the model on what to create.
  • The final dish is the output that the model generates based on the prompt provided.

When you follow the steps in our code, you’re essentially refining your cooking technique, ensuring your final dish (output) is both delicious (accurate) and innovative!

Troubleshooting

If you run into any issues while implementing WizardCoder:

  • Ensure that you have all the necessary dependencies correctly installed. A missing or outdated package can hinder performance.
  • Double-check the input formats; unexpected input can lead the model to produce undesirable results.
  • If you experience low performance or crashes, consider adjusting your GPU settings or using a different quantized version of the model.
