How to Set Up and Run a Llama.cpp Compatible Model

Apr 5, 2024 | Educational

Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of AI model implementation? In this blog, we will guide you through the process of setting up and running the Llama.cpp compatible versions of the Mistral 7B model. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced developer, our step-by-step instructions will make this journey smoother.

Datasets

Before we begin, let’s take a look at the datasets you will need:

  • IlyaGusevru_turbo_saiga
  • IlyaGusevru_sharegpt_cleaned
  • IlyaGusevoasst1_ru_main_branch
  • IlyaGusevru_turbo_alpaca_evol_instruct
  • lksyru_instruct_gpt4

System Requirements

Before starting the setup, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

  • At least 10GB of RAM for the q8_0 model and less for smaller quantizations.

Downloading the Model

To get started, you need to download one of the compatible model versions. For instance, you can download model-q4_K.gguf using the following command:

wget https://huggingface.co/IlyaGusev/saiga_mistral_7b_gguf

Downloading the Interaction Script

Next, download the interaction script interact_mistral_llamacpp.py with this command:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IlyaGusev/ru-lmm/master/self_instruct/src/interact_mistral_llamacpp.py

Installation of Required Packages

You’ll need to install some Python packages to run the model. Execute the following commands:

pip install llama-cpp-python fire

Running the Model

Now it’s time to run the model with the following command:

python3 interact_mistral_llamacpp.py model-q4_K.gguf

Understanding the Process

Think of running the model as cooking a gourmet dish. You start with a recipe (the interaction script) and gather all your ingredients (datasets and model files). Each step in this cooking process (downloading, setting up, and running) builds upon the last, culminating in a perfectly seasoned result—your AI model processing data effectively!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during this exciting process, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

  • Ensure your system has enough RAM as specified by the model requirements.
  • Verify that all download links are correct and accessible from your network.
  • Check if all packages were successfully installed without errors.
