llama_cpp_http 0.2.8

Python llama.cpp HTTP Server and LangChain LLM Client

python-llama-cpp-http

Python HTTP Server and LangChain LLM Client for llama.cpp.

Server has only two routes:

• call: for a prompt get whole text completion at once: POST /api/1.0/text/completion
• stream: for a prompt get text chunks via WebSocket: GET /api/1.0/text/completion

LangChain LLM Client has support for sync calls only based on Python packages requests and websockets.

Install

pip install llama_cpp_http

Manual install

Assumption is that GPU driver, and OpenCL / CUDA libraries are installed.

Make sure you follow instructions from LLAMA_CPP.md below for one of following:

• CPU - including Apple, recommended for beginners
• OpenCL for AMDGPU/NVIDIA CLBlast
• HIP/ROCm for AMDGPU hipBLAS,
• CUDA for NVIDIA cuBLAS

It is the easiest to start with just CPU-based version of llama.cpp if you do not want to deal with GPU drivers and libraries.

Install build packages

• Arch/Manjaro: sudo pacman -Sy base-devel python git jq
• Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev python3-venv python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev git jq

Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/mtasic85/python-llama-cpp-http.git
cd python-llama-cpp-http

Make sure you are inside cloned repo directory python-llama-cpp-http.

Setup python venv

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m ensurepip --upgrade
pip install -U .

Clone and compile llama.cpp

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
make -j

Download Meta's Llama 2 7B Model

Download GGUF model from https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGUF to local directory models.

Our advice is to use model https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGUF/blob/main/llama-2-7b.Q2_K.gguf with minimum requirements, so it can fit in both RAM/VRAM.

Run Server

python -m llama_cpp_http.server --backend cpu --models-path ./models --llama-cpp-path ./llama.cpp

Run Client Examples

1. Simple text completion call /api/1.0/text/completion:

python -B misc/example_client_call.py | jq .

2. WebSocket stream /api/1.0/text/completion:

python -B misc/example_client_stream.py | jq -R '. as $line | try (fromjson) catch $line'
