A Python wrapper for llama.cpp

Project description

🦙 Python Bindings for llama.cpp

Documentation Tests PyPI PyPI - Python Version PyPI - License PyPI - Downloads

Simple Python bindings for @ggerganov's llama.cpp library. This package provides:

  • Low-level access to C API via ctypes interface.
  • High-level Python API for text completion
    • OpenAI-like API
    • LangChain compatibility

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install llama-cpp-python

Usage

>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(model_path="models/7B/...")
>>> output = llm("Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: ", max_tokens=32, stop=["Q:", "\n"], echo=True)
>>> print(output)
{
  "id": "cmpl-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "object": "text_completion",
  "created": 1679561337,
  "model": "models/7B/...",
  "choices": [
    {
      "text": "Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.",
      "index": 0,
      "logprobs": None,
      "finish_reason": "stop"
    }
  ],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 14,
    "completion_tokens": 28,
    "total_tokens": 42
  }
}

Documentation

Documentation is available at https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python. If you find any issues with the documentation, please open an issue or submit a PR.

Development

This package is under active development and I welcome any contributions.

To get started, clone the repository and install the package in development mode:

git clone git@github.com:abetlen/llama-cpp-python.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Will need to be re-run any time vendor/llama.cpp is updated
python3 setup.py develop

How does this compare to other Python bindings of llama.cpp?

I originally wrote this package for my own use with two goals in mind:

  • Provide a simple process to install llama.cpp and access the full C API in llama.h from Python
  • Provide a high-level Python API that can be used as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API so existing apps can be easily ported to use llama.cpp

Any contributions and changes to this package will be made with these goals in mind.
